200Di running and outputs...

jmattley · Nov 9, 2009

Although I'm currently driving the disco after selling the series 3 for practicality reason, I'm thinking that eventually when 200 disco falls apart I'd like use the engine without the turbo in a series 3 as well as using the disco axles and the standard series 3 box.

I'm just wondering what kind of performance a 200 Di would give, anyone got any ideas BHP or torque wise? Also MPG an all would be loverly if anyones done it and what kind of experience have you had with the engine?

Cheers guys!!!

I read somewhere that it'll be about the same as a 2.25 petrol but with better economy and should last forever due to there being very little stress on it.

And that's using a 200tdi and series box with standard diffs you say?

Also, how much hassle is it to put disco axles on a series 3? I'd just like the disc brakes and wider track.

It should do about 80MPH on standard diffs and 750 x 16 tyres. Fitting a Disco front axle is a bit of a fiddle by the sound of it because the track rod fouls the leaf springs. They can be made to fit by using long spring shackles.

80 is scary enough but she will do it if you push her.

What revs have you got the enjun reving too?

109party · Nov 14, 2009

iannotts · Nov 14, 2009

4000 is at about 75mph, when you put her all the way your on the engines limit about 5500 and the pumps been fiddled with, talking is pointless she crusers happily at 75mph and still has more for over taking, and you can how up barry boys with long wheel spin starts and she drifts like anything when wet.

The RPM of an engine cruising at 100MPH with a rear end gear ratio of 3.54:1, a transmission ratio of 1.6:1 and a tire height of 31.73" is estimated at 5998RPM. This estimated RPM, 5998, is 173% above the target cruising RPM of 2200.

The RPM of an engine cruising at 70MPH with a rear end gear ratio of 3.54:1, a transmission ratio of 1.6:1 and a tire height of 31.73" is estimated at 4198RPM. This estimated RPM, 4198, is 91% above the target cruising RPM of 2200.

Calculate RPM at MPH

have a play 109party

thing you will find that your speedo is way out
