Disco 200Tdi in a Defender??

graham2306:
Will it go ? What bits do I need?  

My engine expert says it will go, I'll just have to get a Defender radiator/intercooler, but he's an expert on Japanes engines.

I've read something somewhere about the turbo being too high.

Anyone done it?

Try a PM to Redlinemike :D , he's extremely clued up on all things landrover (perhaps cos hes a LR mechanic).

A Discovery engine into a defender isn't as easy as it might be as the turbo is in a silly place ISTR, or at least, it's in a silly place when you try to stick it in a defender....

hi there,i put a disco tdi into my 90 replacing the n/a,

to make it fit you need to mod the turbo downpipe,now you can chop it up & weld it back together like what i did or buy the steve parker 1 at circa £100,

know my work is currently doing this convo to a customers vehicle & the last batch of manifolds (12 of) didnt even hit the shelves,went straight out to punters,

anything else shout up or PM me
