Frustrating engine swap problem

Rehgar · Mar 30, 2009

Hi,

My engine conversion project, 2.5TD to 200tdi, has come to a stand still at the moment, due to the fact that the airbox to turbo pipe I have is knackered.

Does anyone have one they don't need or a suggestion of where to get one, or even an alternative to the original TD pipe?

motor factors or hydraulic suppliers for a length of pipe.

I'll give it a try, but previous experience of local hydraulic suppliers has not been successful. They tend to back away muttering when told you want some thing to attach to a Landy engine.

look up CAF - cold air feed pipe on ebay - has a metal spiral wrap in it

tis 40 or 42 mm - and if you keep the TD filter in the orginal location you will need exactly a meter of it

Cheers, that looks just the job

.
Is it best to go for the high temp stuff or will the standard neoprene hose take the temperature?

And, is it 2" pipe? (its a bit dark and cold now to go crawling around the engine bay with a tape measure

)

OK, curiosity won. :biggrin1:
Torch and tape measure has revealed;

The old TD turbo is a 2" connection, the 200tdi is 2 3/8" or 60cm

I hope you meant 60mm. 60cm is 2 foot.

Sorry, That should be 6cm.:doh:

Mind you a 60cm bore turbo, I think I've found a new project. :crazy:
