selectcase Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I will post some pics tomorrow when its light but basically I have a discovery 200tdi turbo & manifold as well as the normal 2 oil feed holes on the turbine body there are to water pipe inlet and outlet holes, the water pipes connected to a modified heater pipe over the inlet manifold and a junction on the thermostst I didnt realise it was any differant until i bought another 200tdi engine and compared the turbos - they look identical in every other way exept the turbine body/housing does not have the cooling fins. the casting numbers on the aluminium inlet side are also identical any ideas?

Mo Murphy Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 I had one but I have no idea what it was off I'm afraid. I replaced mine with a standard 300 turbo as I had no need for the added complication of such items. Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WALFY Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 I have 1 of those turbos, but I need 2 new banjo fittings for the coolant side of life so I can get it fitted. Does anyone know of where to get them from. Looked in a few nut and bolt shops but no joy. Ralph- Is there any banjo bolts within the LR parts system that would be up to the job? JST/Tony C Is there anywhere local to you that sells that sort of stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WALFY Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Ralph Knowing the size of the threads on my turbo I'd confidently say that they are all to small. Will give Allards a call to see what they have to say. Many thanks for looking up the numbers though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOA 93 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Spoke to Alan Allard today about the turbo, can't tell from the outside if it is a hybrid or not, the serial number might indicate but not certain, however if it has a water cooled centre and braided oil pipe etc it seems unlikely that someone would have gone to this much trouble for a standard turbo. Apparently they machine the back of the compressor housing a little to make it a little bigger and use a larger compressor wheel, at least that's as I understood it , I assume they use a better bearing also.
