Hp identification?

[poppajoe]

Hi,
I am about to buy a 2nd used 2.5 TDi engine and am being assured it is a 120-130hp.

Now I am new to this specific model and as the engine is not in the vehicle I need to know how to tell which it is.

From what I can find on here there are 75, 85, 90 and 125PS versions on the late 90's trannies?

So, if an engine is on the floor with possibly a few covers missing how to I tell for sure?

Any help would be appreciated..

must have been chipped max factory power on a di was 115ps or i think you could get them marinised think they were 130ps look in the buyers guide for more info

Get the engine number off the block which should be above the sump flange and check it out against the 'Useful info' section
Or post the engine number

How about a piccy

Turbo Di engines fitted to Ford vans are 85PS, 100PS and the rare 115PS intercooled

Hi Thanks for the quick reply.

I am now glad I did not mntion it was marinised!!! (sorry for that) but your answer has chuffed me up no end!

It is actually for a boat and is professionally converted - now why and how, do they raise the hp with marinising? I would have thought without all the electrical gismos it would make it worse? or is it that the enviromental regs on a road van keep it down.

Sorry to sound dumb but I am a competant mechanic, but with no experience of this engine.

Anyway - top reply, this has just made (in my eyes) the guy selling it vey genuine instead of dubius.

Thx

I seem to remember the marinised ones were about 140.

MOT emissions/smoke test
The turbo vans have a very accurate Lucas Electronically Programmed Injection Controlled System that helps cut the smoke to almost zero when they're working properly

Hey guys - what a forum,

Some pics are available when I find out how to post, different to my other forums?

Sorry for not being a tranny owner, but I love fords, well at least I wil now have the heart of a tranny!

Thanks again, I'll be back (no doubt, with a tranny engine boat problem)

your welcome glad we have helped you

The lack of emmission gadgets and exhaust boxes, I'm not suprised you can get 140PS

One last question - what RPM will this engine do WOT?

Not that I want to do it but for sizing a propeller I need to know what revs the 130hp is at.

4000rpm but they do go to 4200rpm this is on 115ps so yours might go a tad more but not really worth it
