Engine convertion Questions.
« on: December 31, 2010, 01:16:42 AM »
Hi
Looks like im gona do the TDI swap into the 110 sooner than expected.
I have choice of 200 or 300tdi.
What i wana know is can i use the 19j engine bellhousing on either of the mentioned TDI engines so i get a factory fit to my lt77 gearbox that has a disco transfer box. Wana avoid missing bolts etc read it wastes yer back crankshaft seal due to flex.

Series III, naturally asthmatic, turbo diesel & tdi's all have the same bolt-pattern for the bell-housing.

Make sure the clutch is the right one (spline-count), but the 200 & 300 are essentially the same on that front.

all but the early 300tdi engines require electonics, making the swap less pleasant.

engine mounts are different 200 to 300.... and you can mount a 200 onto the same mounts as a 2.5 diesel.

You'll need the intercooler, radiator & pipes for whichever engine you put it - they are all different

You'll need the exhaust pipe for whichever engine your fitting, that are all different.

Thanks for the info wanted to make sure befor i attempt this. The 300tdi is a early one sounds more tempting if little electrnic fiddling is needed.
Got a straight through downpipe for the 300 if that goes in on new mounts.
Have a good new year.

OO that would be great if i can have a good look at ur convertion think ill drop in the 300.
200 a straight drop in job so better suited for my unweldable galvi chassis 90.
If you can PM me a contact number ill arrange a suitable time to visit.
Thanks
