Davecrx Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 So I'm going to be putting a 3.9 v8 and gearbox from a 300 into my 200tdi and would just like to know what other parts are needed to fit the thing. My plan is to use carbs but i may use the injector system. Any oother tips would be nice to know. Thanks Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Have you done a search? A lot of info in old threads on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 The EFI system is worth keeping, probably gains you 20 or so BHP, not to mention better driveability -it's not as complicated as it sounds.... And yes, do a search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davecrx Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 I did a search, and after some time didn't come up with anything. searching is great when you've got lots of time to look though pages and pages on the web but thats something i dont have. Oh and as for keeping the injection system, it's not the wiring or the pumbing which will be the problem its the getting all the parts without this little project costing a bomb.

I guess it depends upon what you mean by 'costing a bomb'. But an early EFi RRC would have all the parts you need and cost only a few hundred £££. Selling on the old 200TDi out of the Discovery would recoup some if not all of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Don't forget the set of ear defenders to drown out the droning of the TDi brigade telling you how wrong you are Yes, stick with the EFI, there is a full wiring diagram etc. in the tech archive as well as tips on getting it to run properly with the minimal hassle if you search - it may not show any results for "V8 to 200TDi" but something like "hotwire wiring" "hotwire loom" may give better results. At the end of the day a 200TDi is a single-wire engine so there's no real scheme to adapt one to the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
