Please Identify this engine of a Mahindra

by SREERAJ
(KERALA)

Hello, I am a jeep lover planning to own a Mahindra very soon.


In the course of search I found this one, a 1986 model 4-wheel CJ500D with a transplanted heart on 2005 with DI engine.

My problem is the jeep is around 1300 kms away from my place where one of my friends located this one, but he doesn't know anything about motors, and he really doesn't have any spare time to investigate.

So he just took a couple of photographs of the engine which I have uploaded here.

My concern is to identify this engine. Is it an MDI 3000A DI engine or MDI3000 A TURBO CHARGED ENGINE?

I don't wish to go further with a TC engine.

PLEASE HELP.

This cl 500mdi , has MDI2500 Engine , perhaps initial start DI Engines , better in Fuel efficiency ,and pick up, Since the FIP was governed to 2500rpm, hence MDI 2500,
MDI-MEANS MAHINDRA DIRECT INJECTION ,2500 INDICATES THE RPM,and A denotes Automotive Application.
Even the overhauling cost will be cheap.

Go ahead

This is Mahindra di 2500 engine not inter b 275. This is a direct injection engine with instant start-up, zero oil top up, better fuel efficiency and great pickup.
CL 550 mdi engine

Engine which used to come in CJ 500 di with 3-speed gear box only advantage is its di. See if you get engine of CL 550 mdi, it has bigger crank hence high speed.
