The Triumph 2000 / 2500 / 2·5 Register Forum

I'm sure its been asked and likely answered before on here, but what's the difference between an A type and a J type OD unit? Thanks

What are you fitting - original or upgrade?

It was a 2.25 diesel and I've bought a 2.5 nad from a mil spec 90 for it. Although having said that I've got a modded 200tdi in the Disco and I keep toying with combining the two ...

Thanks again. Think I'd really like to pursue getting one. Although I probably won't rush it. I really must finish off the engine swap in my Series III Landy.

Maybe/hopefully I'll be in a position to get something in the spring ready for the new show season. Until then I guess I'll just have to do ...

Theres an article in Retro Car this month about a 200bhp 2 litre... Might be worth taking a look.

It is running HS6 and the exhaust manifold is a proper Chris Witor jobbie.

Revs to about 7000rpm and sounds fantastic.......... done the CT RBRR every year for about 20 years now I think!

Stunning car, and one of the quickest about ...

Thanks for the replies.

It's all rather confusing though. I've been Reading stuff here: http://home.powertech.no/egilkv/t_tune.html#typical

It seems to suggest the gearbox is ok but not to use OD on 2nd?? Are there differing views on what does and doesn't work?

It also says that a 2000 has the ...

Thanks. So apart from money how do you go about getting 200hp from a 2.0?

I see Chris Witor mentioned a fair bit. Are they the key place to go for parts?
