Land Rover Perkins Prima engine conversion
The primary reason for the selection of Prima engine for duty in your Land Rover is fuel economy. Montego is known to be thrifty, 55 mpg average is common, but its also one of the least expensive motors to buy at the moment due to 10 plus years old cars lack their MOTs. Prima is also fairly well known for a long service life, as well as its e? efficiency, and it is a high-reving diesel oil with very similar power delivery to the Land Rover petrol engine. It is not unusual to pay $ 50-$ 150 for a car with a good engine, in fact, many people are given carsm. They have an edge over a lot of the other options. Engine fails? t on the Land Rover gearboxes, so an adapter plate is necessary for that? t between the two, I deliver them. The other problem is the size of the flywheel and starter rotation, these have been solved by use of parts from a van comes with the normaly with aspirated version of the engine. The conversion does not require enclosure or bulkhead changes you want to make or customize a exhaust gas, change wiring and maintenance data produce a throttle cable except that it is all a bolt in the job. The conversion should make a swb do between 34-40 mpg, I manage both numbers, its drivable at highway speed and will generally meet with traffic that a 2.25 Land Rover diesel wouldn't.
Montegos claimed usage figures for up to 60 mpg certainly makes it a suitable candidate for the improvement of the consumption of your Land Rover. I do 34-40 mpg, depending on driving conditions and speed. With 34 mpg are motorway services and 40 mpg Pottering around the lanes where I live; sensibly as drag at 80 mph on the motorway is much more than drag when Pottering around at 30-40 mph. I have a 36 mpg average for the last few months, it's a long enough period to use this? gure as a statistical average. Costs of conversion. Large costs will be custom parts, adapters and fittings. Unlike some other conversion, where the engines will be the major part of the costs. I can speculate on the cost, and I expect it to be of ¿500, provided you pay ¿100 for flywheels and start motor1. I haven't included things like a link, as you would still need a clutch. You will also restore some of the costs by selling your old engine2.
Return on your money can be seen in Figure1, this is based on current diesel and gasoline costs and if 35 mpg prima, 20 mpg petrol, as generous as some people only get 15-17 mpg from the 2.25 petrol. The cost of converting to LPG being in all liklihood running lpg plus the cost of conversion is very similar to the total amount of Prima.
