Hi

I have done a quick search and have not found anything on putting water injection onto a 300 TDI 1996 Disco. I wondered if anybody has done this as some other cars have used it to ( reportedly ) to increase power, improve fuel economy and enable cleaner combustion. Is it possible? has anybody tried it? I know my Disco runs sweetly on a foggy night when there is a lot of water vapour in the air!

Dont waste your time or money.

 

you can never get POWER out of a land rover with out spending too much money

 

There is a web site that has more diesels
http://www.landroveraddict.com/smf/

 

There are a number of companies that make universal water injection systems for diesels. I was looking at a methanol/water injection system for my Dodge diesel. Do a search for boost coolers. You will get more power but more importantly it will cool your exhaust gas temperature by 200 - 300 degrees. I have to disagree with the other gentlemen. You may not be able to get power out of a Land Rover but any diesel is easy to increase power. The more air and fuel in the cylinders the more power you get from the engine. It's the way an engine should work.

 

it only helps in a gas burner w/added boost/timing, same w/octane booster, i have no idea on a diesel

but i can tell you to only use a pumped kit, no boost pressurized blow into turbo nozzle kits, water pulled through a turbo will wear the comp wheel to nothing

h2o inj makes for some clean top ends tho, and if you use it w/an ebc, you can have a fluid level indicator wired into the ground for the ebc, so if the h2o(washer fluid is a 50/50 mix) is out the added boost will go away

 

Thanks everybody,

I dont want to waste time and money doing water injection unless there is a benefit. I like some of you have not seen any Disco's with it on it and would need convincing first.

Thanks Landzu and AK Rover for the contacts, I will do some more research

Wizard-We do not have any diesel Disco's here in the States.

 

Thanks Spike555

I didnt realize that was the case. Do people transplant other diesel into discos?

Cheers

The only diesels we have here in the US are in big trucks, full size puck-up trucks and VW Jettas, older VW's at that. And it is just WAY to expensive to transplant a diesel into a LR. You have to order the engine from another country, ship it here, install it. You are talking$10,000+ US dollars. Just not worth it.
Two reasons we dont have them. Emissions and stereo types.
