bishbosh Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I am trying to piece to gether the induction hoses (from snorkel to airbox to turbo to intercooler) on my 200TDi. Unfortunately, it is a Disco engine in a 90 and it is mounted 6" further forwards than the "normal" position. This leads to a distinct lack of space at the front for airboxes etc. I have heard that the 300TDi airbox is mounted on a bracket behind the engine? This would be ideal for me. Could some kind soul post up the exploded diagram showing the pipe runs for the whol shebang? I am hoping to steal some of the parts to make up my own system... Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diesel_jim Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 300Tdi parts: Prices for above: If you fancy blingy twin air intakes, here's the wolf parts: (PS... the wolf filter housing is sealed, it has a different end cap on it, more of a dinner plate shape than the civvy version, with no drain bung. the whole thing is about £300!!! ) If you're interested, i've got a 300Tdi filter can which i welded on another intake, as i used to run with twin snorkels on the old 90. the "extra" pipe comes out at about the 2 o'clock position, and the pipe runs over the back of the engine bay to the N/S, i had mine tucked up behind the heater and up through the wing.

bishbosh Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 Cheers Jamie. Unfortunately none of those parts look like they'll help me, which is actually a relief given the prices!! I'll stick to good ol' Heath Robinson and a catering supply of silicone elbows!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Have you got room for a RR V8 airbox? Snorkel fitting to it is easy and a lot smaller than the diesel items... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 Now that's not a stupid idea!! Would you be so kind as to add it to your list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Now that's not a stupid idea!!Would you be so kind as to add it to your list? Absolutely, I am sure I have a couple lying around here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WALFY Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Now that's not a stupid idea!!Would you be so kind as to add it to your list? Wasn't sure how much of a purist you were so didn't think about mentioning that. I have a RR airbox, sits infront of the block, where the viscous would be. I welded a straight piece of tube the right dia to match the rest of the snorkel. Works for me. I even did the welding myself without the supervision of a grown up. But to be sure I smeared a thin layer of silicone over the weld to be sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
