Fitting disco 200tdi to defender..

Or even the exhaust manifold??? :wink:
As the turbo sits on the exhaust manifold, not the inlet one... due to the turbo being driven by exhaust gas????? :roll:
But in rasing the turbo (defender exhaust manifolds are £58 I think from Craddocks) you would need to alter the inlet manifold...
If you try and fit the defender stuff you also need the defender front cover, pas pump brackets/alternator brackets and a few other bits....

Hey Stanton Boy, you got any pics I could have a look at??
My engine came complete with everything, and was removed properly which makes a change!
Is it worth getting a disco down pipe of just hack my defender one around to fit the turbo outlet pipe?
cheers
cstokes:
I cut the exhaust front pipe just after the flange and welded it back together.
I don't see a problem with altering the standard front pipe, but you would have to make a flange up to fit it, also is the pipe bore diameter the same and the heat generated by the turbo may affect the mild steel exhaust pipe so close to the turbo.
Here is a link to my gallery, i have taken a few photo's of what i did to the exhaust.
