Turbo inlet size, any one know what it is??

Any one know what size the inlet is on 300 tdi

And also 200 tdi although I can measure that tomorrow

May mate just measured his and says that it is 55 mm, but I think it is bigger, 55 seems small

Need to buy some hose to fit

Little bit less, about 53mm.
Could be 2 3/32 or 2 1/8 in ye olde English

Thanks, thats only small but enough I suppose, I'll measure my 200 tomorrow and see if its the same

Are you sure? I may be wrong but I thought it was about 63mm

i thought it was 52mm

i can measure my 300 tomorrow if you really need it.

If you dont mind yes. I'll measure my 200 as well. Hoping the pipe is the same for both

Silicone hoses I bought for my 200 TDI were 51mm.

Thanks, that's handy (I presume they did fit)

My engine is out at the moment, so I measured it for you. That's an pretty accurate measurement for 300TDi. The side wall of the inlet was about 4mm. Gives an ID of the hose of 51mm. That matches Spook.

#### knows where I got 63 from then

Bloody hope so, I've been driving around with them on for over a year! Must be airtight as the turbo pulls nice and strong with no whistle.

Just measured the o/d of my 200 and it's 60mm so I need 60mm i/d pipe to fit over it
Just need the 300 size o/d now

gimme 30 mins

it's oily and crusty and i had to use a ruler, so expect a couple mm out!

43mm ID
55mm OD (so it's probably 52mm)

Thanks trax that confirms my mates measurement of his 300 turbo, the 300 must have a smaller inlet than the 200

63mm ...
if i remenber well, that's the outer diameter of the 200tdi inlet turbo

didn't read the seconde page before posting - oups

Ah! I knew I wasn't mental

Sorry Wolf, I did the maths wrong there I think. The ID of my 300TDi inlet is 53mm. The side wall is approx 4-5mm each side. That would give a hose ID of 61-63mm

do you also have a new/separate intercooler?

i'm thinking yours is a 60mm upgrade kit, not orig. like Land Rover 300tdi uprated Intercooler - manifold induction kit 60mm defender red | eBay

Bog standard, mate.
Are we, or I, getting mixed up between inlet and outlet? I'll have another look under the tarp tomorrow.
