200 Tdi into Mpi

martin1512 · Apr 4, 2010

After years of faithful service, my G reg 200 Tdi has finally succumbed to terminal rot. However, I have managed to get hold of a very nice K reg Mpi for bugger all money. I want to put the Tdi lump into the Mpi. I have searched the forums for this subject, but found nothing helpful. Is it a straight forward swap? Both vehicles have LT77 gearboxes, but are the Tdi and Mpi gearboxes the same, or will I have to swap them and/or the transfer boxes? Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated.

Will the gearing still be ok with the mpi gearbox and transfer box?

It's the same gearbox & transfer box ratio's isn't it? If not just swap the 200tdi box over as well.

Quick google for "discovery mpi gearbox ratio" should get yu a definate answer

I have the mpi and was looking into a doozil transplant , be careful about the gearbox mate ,
not 100 % sure but i was told the mpi gearbox was only rated to the mpi engine and would fail under the extra torque from a doozil engine , be just as well to swap the box from the 200 as well.
