90 Mellis Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Probably been answered before so i'll apologise in advance!? I'm planning to fit my disco 200 Tdi into my 2.5 TD 90. Looking at many conversion stories I have noticed the exhaust down pipe is a tight fit!! Many people recommend using the 'steve parker' down pipe, but this seems quite expensive, could I change the cast manifold to a Defender 200 Tdi item?? Then use a Defender 200 Tdi full exhaust sytem inc down pipe?? I have found new Defender cast manifolds at approx half the price of the steve parker down pipe. Another advantage would be having a standard exhaust system. Any advice would be very useful Thanks Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Yes the defender manifolds will fit your 200Tdi & will allow you to use the 200tdi defender down pipe, you'll have to change to the defender turbo as well,(otherwise the existing Discovery turbo & the downpipe will want to occupy the same space) connect this to the existing exhaust system, the correct 200 tdi exhaust system has completly different mountings to your 90's existing mounts. my 110 was a TD now has a 200Tdi & the exhaust setup as described above.

Old Spot Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 ooh aar another shire boy On the last couple of disco 200 into defs I have removed the cast downpipe from the turbo, made a flange to fit the studs(replace with stainless cap screws) and then welded on a 90 degree pipe bend ( from Wakins & Powis, Gloucester) which cleared the bulkhead no problems. If you want to look at the one on my racer let me know. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WALFY Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Yes the defender manifolds will fit your 200Tdi & will allow you to use the 200tdi defender down pipe, you'll have to change to the defender turbo as well,(otherwise the existing Discovery turbo & the downpipe will want to occupy the same space) connect this to the existing exhaust system, the correct 200 tdi exhaust system has completly different mountings to your 90's existing mounts.my 110 was a TD now has a 200Tdi & the exhaust setup as described above. As an extra point if you use the Def manifolds the turbo needs to be changed and the air pipe from the inlet manifold comes forward through the space currently filled by the alt.

90 Mellis Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 Thanks all your replys-Had a look at Tony's racer on sat and i've decided to keep the disco manifold and make my own stainless down pipe!? Cheers Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 have a look at Les H's pictures of his home made downpipe for a similar conversion to a 90, thread is in the tech archive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90 Mellis Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 Cheers Western-Just taken a look!! Good Stuff, can't wait to start the project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajh Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 You mention being able to get new manifolds? Any pointers would be appreciated. I gather you also need to change the intake manifold for the Defender exhaust manifold to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidW Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I used a manifold from ebay made for the job. Probably not as good as the Steve Parker one but was fair bit cheaper and works well.. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
