Claus 200 tdi in ninety Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Inspiration and help regarding 200tdi conversion I was inspired by ROB 110 HICAP and his conversion to 200tdi using a 19J turbo setup. He told me that it really makes a difference. It makes a HUGE difference much smoother and lower noise and fuel consumption as well. I hope this will help some in their project or maybe inspire others to do this convert as well.

Jonny Watson Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 This is the set up i bought my 90 with...yes the fuel consumption is ok...but i wouldnt say it was less noisy...what i found is i cant get above 65 and thats running with a 1.2:1 tbox....at that speed the engine is reving its nuts off....i am now fitting a bigger turbo to make life easyer.....but i guess with every mod you loose something and gain something.....

thirstybeast Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Hi Claus an elegant solution to the turbo problem, I thought for a moment you were going to bin the intercooler as well. The steering box takes up a lot of space on a left hooker! regards Thirsty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claus 200 tdi in ninety Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 All right. now i has been driving the 19J setup on the 200tdi for a few month now. It seems a lot better now. I've been turning the turbo a bit up by two turns, shortening the link. It runs werry well, same speed compared to other normal 200tdi's. There has not been any problems, so far the last 4000 miles so i think this is at any stage the easyest way to convert a LHD defender. The turbo sounds as it is supposed to, and it dosnt sound like its overloadet. I strongly recomet this steup as an alternative to the modified exhaust pipe. Thanks for the nice replys.
