200TDi from a disco

(1/5) > >>

zulublue:
Hi all, yes ive jumped from the Range Rover page to the Defender, which is my new toy, unfortunatly I locked the engine up after 3 day's in Packington ford, Dont ask I am still trying to calm down, must be a leak on the snorkel!!!!

Anyway I have purchased a 200Tdi engine from a disco, I think the turbo manifold is different? do I need to do any mods to fit it, or will it go straight in?

Any help as always appreciated, hands on help even more so :D

take the old downpipe off and bolt up the steve parker conversion to it

I think a saab turbo downpipe can be used and is a lot cheaper than steve parkers!

disco steve:
if u got the  old defender engine there just change over the bits off the one engine on to other saves a lot off  messing about thats wot i did with mine

Hi Steve which bits?

The alternator, power steering pump and the water pump are in different places!

does this mean removing the W pump take the front cover off, remove the cam belt and cogs, and remove the back plate from the cam belt housing, then fit it to the disco block ?

Unfortunatly due to my inexperience, I have chaged the rear cam gasket, refitted all the cogs cam belt front gasket water pump gasket and so on put it all back together fitted the inlet and exhust manifold from the 90 then to see that the alternator from the disco sits right in front of the inlet pipe into the manifold.
Talk about good day bad day

So I dont know waht to do for the best now, if I put the disco inlet manifold on what else do I need to do to fit it into the 90?

Plus I take it I will need an electric fan as the viscous will be out of line?

HELP please :(  :(  :(  :(  :(  :(  :(
