has anyone put a 2.8td fourtrak engine ingto a s3lwb im doing it now could do with some pics of how you put pipes ect and problems anyone had fitting this engine its replaceing a slow petrol.

Dont know about the 2.8 daihatsu engine, but I put the 2.5 n/a daihatsu engine in a series 3 lwb station wagon  a few years back,  the hardest bit was making a cable for accelrator, and making up a down pipe  everything else was a piece of cake  and I changed the daiahsu alternator for alucas one to do away with the external regulator on the daihatsu

used to sit happilly at 80 on the motorway  and still have some power left,and did 28mpg  aswell

cooper956:
i would love to do away with the alt but i have servo brakes and the vac pump is on the alt any ideas? engine should be going in tomorow old one is out just need to see if i have to cheop the bulkhead for the turbo.

tony morton:
hia i have just put one in mine series 3 you have to cut the footwell out on the passenger side so turbo fits the engines mounts on drivers side is like a wedge shape mount i removed that and it sits on the mount it was bolted to i bought new rubber mounts there the square ones there seem to fit better than the round ones i have used a flexable piece pipe for exhaust i also used the lucas alternator it easier to wire up i have not got servo breaks.it was very straight foward really i hope it goes well for you all the best tony

ps sorry no photos

AndyMacG:
I remembered what I did for my vacum pump :oops:

  I got hold of a belt driven one off a peuguot 205 diesel and made up a bracket  to hold  and modified a twin  pulley  for it
