200tdi discovery engine in to defender 200tdi advise

<< < (2/2)

kizz81:
spent all day convrting my defender 200tdi into a disco one,
i managed to chop the ends off the oil cooler pipes from the defender engine and fit the disco ends so the thread lined up, played with the power steering and had to swap one pipe to get to fit, turned the turbo inot the defender manifolds then put a longer tensioner on the alternator so it lifts up a littl emore so you can get the turbo pipe out the bottom, at the moment the piping looks like spagetti junction but i will sort that after going to wales this weekend,
not sure why but i now have alot less studs in the bell housing than before,

hope any of that helped

cheers kieran

just check the pump timing vrs TDC on no 1 cylinder
i.e just check the things timed properly
if its getting diesel, and it doesnt sound erratic when cranking over ( asin up and down the revs like its down on a cylinder) then it should start, or atleast give a cough and splutter

yolandie:
hi i have been to see my local land rover salvage yard and asked him what is involved in putting my disco engine in to my defender and it is a lot more than you think you have to use all the defender auxilliries and change the timing cover to make it fit so a lot of work

zulublue:
If you feel the problem is with the block only, you can swap the defender parts on to the disco block by this I mean the front cover etc, if the turbo is done then go for the complete swap.

Have a look here
