Hi all,
I have a fiat ducato 1989 2.5 diesel swift kontiki motorhome approx 2.5 tonne and i'd like to either tune up the engine to get more power by adding a turbo or super charger or to replace the front cab with another vehicle of the same size.
I'd like to know what requirements and/or issues i'd have installing a turbo into my engine?
Or would a super charger be easier again what would be the requirements and issues behind that?
What other options to increase the BHP do I have ie perhaps a twin carb if they do them or even Nos?
Would it be better to find a 2.5 turbo or 2.8 turbo engine, again what are the requirements and issues?
Also is a 2.8 turbo more economical than a 2.5 turbo?
Could I use a newer engine from a newer mark or do I have to use the current mark ie 1988 - 1992.
Or to replace the Van Cab with another similar size van, Any recomendations on Vans and what issues would I get.
The reason for this is to increase the speed especially uphills and roads with long but slight inclines. I don't want to spend lots of money and have a unrealiable engine or just having more power but very poor MPG.
The ideal scenario would be that I could replace the front cab fairly easliy and end up with a 5 or 6 year old van, but i'm very happy with my current engine which has done 46k but just need more power as going 40mph on a motorway getting overtaken by old timers in mobility carts aint much fun.
Anything that you guys/gals can recommened, give an opinion on would be greatly appreciated. Perhaps you have another way or option i'd love to hear from you all.
Also Does anyone have a workshop manual for these vans at all?
