    200 TDi engine + 2.5 N/A Exhaust

    Well, ive fitted a 200tdi system to replace my 2.5N/A system.... slightly more awkward than expected, as the hangers were in a different place - but a bit of trickery with some steelplate, and bar, welded in place soon sorted out that problem. I was expecting the drive to a be better, but in...

    I have a 2.5 N/A for sale if you want one! Have gearbox, and zorst system too for sale:) Oh... and get a 200. I've just had mine converted. The engine delivers the power perfectly, and you'll be saving a load on fuel too - and no funny fangled electricker to go wrong, just good old fashioned...

    200 TDi engine + 2.5 N/A Exhaust

    mmmm, interesting. The only reason I've noticed it more, is because the downpipe has been leaking since fitting, and since I have stopped the leak, yeh the engine feels like it is struggling to breathe. I might introduce the leak again until the new zorst is fitted - might make an annoying...

    200 TDi engine + 2.5 N/A Exhaust

    What affect will using a 2.5 N/A exhaust system with a 200 Tdi engine ? Since fitting my 200 engine ( to replace my 2.5 N/A)I've not yet had chance to fit the full 200 Zorst system, only the downpipe. Although everything is running fine, I do feel the engine is struggling to get rid of the...

    New Engines in !

    Finally got my engine swapped from a 2.5 N/A to a 2.5 TDi.... WOW!! What a difference it makes. A lot quieter than my N/A, and the torque delivery is spot on; exactly where you want it - low down the rev range. Where I live there is steep hill, after steep hill, so I need the grunt very low...

    Defender 300tdi engine mounts

    Don't know to be honest:( But i'm thinking the 300tdi conversion into a 90 is not the a straightforward job.:mad: Just want to know wether the R380 just slots in, or is there some alterations needed?

    Defender 300tdi engine mounts

    I've just read: 300 tdi conversion He said he had to move the engine mounts when replacing the TD with the 300tdi engine. Will I have to move my 2.5N/A engine mounts to fit my 300tdi, even though mine is a Defender 300 Engine? Thanks

    Oh Bugger.. I've brought a 300tdi lump to fit!

    Sean... it cost me enough beer tokens that I won't having a drink for a long time:eek:. But with me not having the time to take my time fitting the engine, and collecting and sourcing all the ancillary units - I thought the extra was worth paying for a complete Defender injun, and jar box +...

    Oh Bugger.. I've brought a 300tdi lump to fit!

    Ok Chaps... I've gone and done it. I've brought a 1997 Defender 300TDi engine , with gearbox ( R380), transfer box, and full Zorst System. I could really do with your help, and wisdom. What else am I going to need to swap from my 2.5N/A? What pitfalls, and nasty surprises are there? Comes...

    Chance of a 300 TDI

    yeh, I would love to the job myself, but having no garage, my truck is my only vehicle, and work vehicle too, would mean I need to do the conversion on a weekend, and have it ready for the next week:eek: I'm willing to give it a go, but need to gather all the tricks, and now all the nastys:mad...
