982KNN Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 I've put also a 2,5D in my 88 that has a galva chassis. Starting point was not to cut thr rh chassis mount but after trying lots of rubbers etc, the injection pump still hits the chassis mount sometimes so at the end I cut it off last month. Engine now sits normal and fan does not hit plastic either Hi Henk From the above it appears you've managed without cutting the main chassis mount. Please can you post some photos, or advise further detail. Cheers Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmental Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I'm putting 2.5na into my series 3--- 2.25 diesel, the clutch is worn out on the 2.5na so what setup do I need to buy to have it running nicely? Cheers Chris Oh do I need the 2.25 thermostat housing aswell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 If you are using the series box, then series clutch plate, series thrust bearing, and 2.5 N/A everything else. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Henson Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Well this is an eye-watering moment , but the thread is going O/T, and the forum police might well pounce , but thanks everyone anyway If you try to put either the 2.5 N/A, TD (LOL!), Sherpa (why would you want to? ), in a s3 shorty or longy chassis, them Mr Injector pump will sit on the standard O/S chassis mount, and will be worse than nailing the throttle on Niges shed . I fitted the engine as posted above, and then altered the original mount to fit. If you do whatever to a galv chassis - then you will inevitably end up with bare metal. Proper treatment of that and appropriate care to protect it will ensure the metal will last a long time. Les. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I would avoid the TD engine, as the pistons will crack. The N/A is a far more reliable engine, and the power difference between the two is not that noticeable. I would skip the TD altogether and go for the 2.5 N/A or a TDi conversion, which will require a 'spare pants' cubby box Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
