New to site,have a 1995 2.5 Boxer Autosleeper Sympathy! Have read quite a number of ideas to get a bit more power are any successful?----fitting a turbo,is it just the cylinder head with cam and thicker head gasket I need? Adjusting pump feed to injectors ,? Or will another more powerfull engine fit successfully? Only looking for maybe another 10 BHP to cope with the hills. Also noticed a bit of oil in air filter when I changed it?
Hi,
If you go down the route of trying to modify your existing engine I think you there is a good chance that you'll end up with an unreliable motor. An engine swap might be more viable and you do see turbo engines coming up on eBay.
The oil on your air filter is probably from the recirculation oil breather pipe just doing it's job. Not excessive is it?
Best off swapping engine as trying to turbo a NAD lump can have consequences unless your happy to devote plenty of time testing it as its not that simple.
Could just get the equivalent 2.5 turbo lump?

Several firms can offer this service. Not sure if a 1995 engine remap is possible, but our 2000 2.0 diesel boxer engine on our old motorhome was uprated from 85 BHP to 115 BHP and completely transformed the driving All for £ 299.
Might be worth contacting him to find out if it's possible.

I am sure that someone will point out the error in this consideration but nothing is free. More power = more fuel = more cost plus the cost of the work.
If facilities for an engine and turbo exchange are possible, long term the extra economy when running may push the balance of viability in its favour.

More power doesn't always mean greater fuel consumption.
Adding a turbo would mean greater efficiency assuming you can resist going too far up into the higher fueled RPM's as torque is improved throughout.

At that age I am fairly sure the OP's engine is an "old style" Diesel with a (mechanical) rotary injection pump rather than being a (modern) common rail (electronicaly controlled injection) model, in which case there is nothing to re-map !!
