Daihatsu engines are available in two capacities, 2.5 litre and 2.8 litre, with the 2.8 litre also being available in a more powerful turbo version. All these engines are four cylinder units and are indirect injection, which will therefore aid in reduced engine noise.

1. On purchasing an engine, check that it is complete with starter and alternator.
2. If the engine is from a Portero Pampus it should be noted on ordering a conversion kit, as there are two types of starter motors, pre-engaged and gear reduction. Pre-engaged starters are usually fitted to the early 2.5DG engines.
3. The Daihatsu alternator is required for the vehicles fitted with servo brakes. This is due to them having a vacuum pump driven from the rear of the alternator. A remote voltage regulator (part no. K874) will be required for this unit if the original is not available.

1. Cooling systems on the Range Rover are suitable for this conversion.
2. Minor modifications are neccessary to the V8 bell housing for the starter and for 2 conversion bolts.
3. The Thermostat rotation block (part no. KK893) rotates the housing 180º, which is necessary when installing 2.8 engines into Land Rover 110.
