I have a Nissan terrano engine without a turbo. Turbo models exist however can I turbo this one. Is it easy to do? Are they're different types of turbo?

I mean, you can just chuck a blower on and plumb it into the oil system, but to do it properly you need the diesel pump from a turbo model and the turbo model may have a different piston design for lower CR, oil squirters for piston cooling, different injection patterns, ect. Not as easy as you'd like to hear methinks.. |

It usually simpler to do an engine swap.

You'd need to lower the compression ratio, that's one of the main things It's different for different engines, but a lot of non turbo engines are built to cope with their stresses alone. So when you start adding boost and power, things start inside to break unless they've been upgraded from standard. But then some engines are the same internals as the turbo model and would cope, so that's down to research As for the "are there different types" question, yes there's an unlimited number of turbos to choose from! And it's important you know what size to put on for your engines displacement and when you want the boost to start kicking in  |

How about a landcruiser engine. Auto with turbo. although down side is would be thirsty and massive

Why not a 2.7td from a Ford Maverick?

Was hoping to go for more power than the 2.7 diesel that's already in there

Bigger/better Intercooler, increased turbo pressure/wastegate timing, altering boost compensation to come in sooner and stronger, ect. |

In you first post you were asking if it was possible to turbo the original engine, which we now know to be be a 2.7na? So I fail to see why the 2.7td doesn't fit the bill, the turbo version of this offers far more power. will be a direct replacement and as Rich quite rightly pointed out you can then go down the usual tuning routes for a turbo engine. |

Awesome! I know nothing about engines so this is really helpful. I didnt realise an engine of the same size would have so many benefits.

Just need to find the right engine. Ebay seems awkward. lots of mavericks and terrano turbos on there. Would ok to put the turbo auto engine on to my standard auto gear thats already resides or are other modifications necessary

difficult to say, I cant see why not but a little bit of research into gearbox codes should help.

The main reason for not wanting to do an engine swap is because I simply don't have the equipment. I thought it would be easier to just strap on a couple of add on bits to get it going.
The engine swap would be way simpler I would imagine.

You need to buy yourself an engine crane and a socket set then!

you can hire engine cranes, if you were considering fitting parts to the existing engine, then it sounds like you have all the other tools you need.

An engine swap is easyer, upgrading to a turbo will require changing the pump to a boost referanced one and timing it all up, most likely including an injector swap as well, not to mention IC and mounts, non are really weekend tinkerer type jobs and will require timing pins and probably specialist tools to get the injectors out.
There are about 10 differant version of the 2.7 in Na and turbo, what year is yours? that allways helps, if we know what we are discussing, is it mechanical injection or elctric?
We know it a terrano engine so i assume it's still in a terrano ?

Even easier again, sell the Terrano and buy a Turbo one?
Even better again, sell the Terrano and buy an MX5 or something that's actually worth driving.
