Hybrid_From_Hell Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I am now thinking of refitting a pair of these (Left and right hand pair) to the "Challenge wings as they made a big difference in getting the heat out when I had them fitted before I think they are 200 TDi ? : Anyway, what are they off, and then what do other 90s / Defenders have ie TD5 300s etc etc are there any variants having the same sort of thingys but any even bigger than the pic above ?

BigSi110 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 300Tdi's and Td5's have them too. Exactly the same as your pic. One size, unless you fancy making your own out of SS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandyManLuke Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 NS - 200tdi OS - 300tdi and td5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 AH HA That now makes sense ! have asked Uncle Raplhy for the part numbers So it them nothing or maybe 2x per side Ta Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 the TD/200Tdi plastic vents are difficult to find, took me ages to find a fully complete left hand vent for my vehicle, oftern the plastic pegs are broken off, but on yours screws or bolts could be used to secure them. AH HA That now makes sense ! have asked Uncle Raplhy for the part numbers So it them nothing or maybe 2x per side Ta Nige left wing side panel air intake for TD & 200Tdi 90/110 right wing side panel air intake 300Tdi & Td5 or you could use the slightly longer heater intake ducts from the wing tops. with the wider end facing down or rearwards Item 15 in left & right hand drive forms.

Anderzander Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 My friend may be replacing his left hand vent with a snorkel in the next few days - do you want me to ask about it Nige? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 That would be 50% good Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I also have a spare near-side one off a 200Tdi at home (I believe it's in good condition, can't remember breaking it when fitting the snorkel). If you still need one in two weeks (when I'm next home) let me know and it's yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crwoody Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I've got a spare RH side one from my td5 if you want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyfarmerboy Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 just an idea,but if you want larger one's could you not fit the one's that go ontop of the wings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 Actually thought about that If you look at them the surface area is abouyt the same 1 poss is to fit a LH and RH to each wing maybe Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveG Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Nah Nige, you want some RR Sport bling ones.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 What about the vertical ones on the wings of a normal Range Rover... Maybe not quite in that style, but look for something similar. They look to have a much larger area than the standard 200/300TDi ones... Short of that, Nige, you could always cut a hole and knock up your own vent out of 6mm - after all, it doesn't need to be structural!!!

landroversforever Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Nige, Had you thought about putting a row of holes on the side of the bonnet? surely they would help with getting the heat out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 For slow work row of holes in the bonnet is a high pressure area and makes the air flow miss the engine and go straight through Sides means air flow moves around / across engine esp when bottom exit is block off via mud ground etc Tested with smoke bombs at willing off road site a long while back - Don't ask Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleBlue88 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 The twin vents per side sounds more promising....what about series wing vents? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 Mate gave me a template used for fitting these, and I was thinking this time to drill and pop in some small rivnuts and then small allen bolts / screws - should this way be a easy fit and removable / repalceable simply And with 2x on each side BIG air exit for heat, thats when and if I can fix No 2 Kenlowe £98 for a replacement motor the man at kenlowe said, ....AND he managed not to laugh down the phone when he said it to me, .....unbelivable price for something that hasn't lastest at all long ...

Philip Tonkin Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I had no idea they were so restrictive. I have always wondered why the the spare wing top vent isn't used of the engine intake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 Quite Simply 200 / 300s don't suffer from heat probs, I know several people who have taken the engine fans off them and still they run fine Heavily tuned V8 Rover lumps is another matter Gettingcool air in and having cooling upgrades (ie 6 row big ccored rad, thermostat dropped antifreeze at max to help, water wetter to further reduce block off everything possible so air has to go through rad - and not bypass, fit 2x 13 inch electrics fans as well as viscous etc etc etc) helps but then you have to equally as importantly get the hot air generated OUT, esp if underneath is jammned with mud / ground etc The air MUST react with the hot engine - bypassing it means it doesn't help cooling it down, wing back make a vast difference, I did them pre challenge wings, and on the new challenge wings throught I'd see if I really need them - I was wrong and yes I do, hence now with toying of 2x twice as much vent space each side Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Nige I also have a NS one from my old TD (now 300Tdi) including the internal pipework if you want it yours for the cost of postage. Rgds Ivan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gruntus Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Quite Simply 200 / 300s don't suffer from heat probs, Heavily tuned V8 Rover lumps is another matter Havent you answered your own question? You need to Burn not bang. Theres plenty of TD5's with 200BHP apparently these days Couldnt resist it...... Cheers G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
