TD5 Conversion HELP!!
Tinks:
Ok i have a E reg 90 that has a 200TDI in at the mo its already had one engine transplant before i had it and now i'm thinking about putting the chassis and body onto TD5 axles and engine!
So what do you guys think, good idea or bad? :wink:
Also anybody know how easy it is to get this stuff & at what sorta price? :?
thermidorthelobster:
If I had a 200Tdi 90 I'd keep it as a 200Tdi. Why put in a more complex and less economical engine which may be higher specced but won't give you better performance.
Tinks:
Thats a very good question!
I want something thats gonna be good offroad but also when i take it on long road trips, which i do quite often as i can't afford 2 cars and am always miles and miles away from any landy shows or events won't take me a week to get there! :roll:

That's what I'm buiding... though I've gone a bit further!!! - will be very different to my original Td Truck Cab!
A lot of people get scared by the Td5 because it has a thing called an ECU :roll: - but in all honesty to get them to work isn't that hard at all.
Not quite a bolt in conversion though, but with the correct selection of parts is nothing major.
And the sale of your 200TDi and Lt77 will virtully pay for a much newer Td5 and R380.
And I disagree with the performance aspect... a tuned/remapped Td5 will run rings around a tuned 200Tdi.... infact a standard Td5 will give even a tuned 200Tdi a run for it's money.
