Rightfoot Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I have an original Defender 200Tdi with a tired engine, and I have also just scrapped my old 200 tdi Discovery which had a good engine. How easy is it to put the Discovery engine in the Defender? I know I'll need to change the exhaust manifold and turbo over, and I think I'll need to change the front cover. Is there anything else I need to worry about? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 you've covered most of the differences, timing case engine mounts manifolds & having both vehicles with all the required parts it should be a easy swap, internally both engines are identical.

Guest WALFY Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 When you take the timing chest over you will have to take the PAS, alt. Well basicaly anything bolted to the front cover. Also the inj pump or you might get away with taking the bracket that holds it in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stand to be corrected on this, but I think that the Disco runs a different cam to the Defender as well. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honitonhobbit Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Must admit I thought it was a different cam as well - hence the increase in power. So how is the increase achieved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WALFY Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I think it's in the FIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 A combination of injection pump set-up & the turbo maniflods set-up, the FIP has different part numbers on these engine as does the turbocharger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigster Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 If I rememeber rightly when I did it, the springs on the rockers are also different. just my pennies worth... the turbo is slightly different... its a 3 thread instead of 4 threads/lugs - what ever - - -but if you change the manifold - which you will, there aint a a problem.

western Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 another Nope, the rocker shaft springs between the rocker arms are the same part number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
