twizzle Posted October 7, 2009 Author Posted October 7, 2009 Have a look here: http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=47711 ive a 200 tdi engine will the 200 turbo fit in the same place as the 300 turbo on a 300 manifold just the other way around are the 4 bolt holes in the same place Twizzle Quote
bow Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 NO.. 300 turbo is part of the manifold, 200 is a separate unit , you would need to use the 200 manifold ,turbo, and exhaust down pipe, not known any one do this, most of us go the other way, 300 turbo assembly onto 200 engine, so in theory it would work if you use the complete assembly . hope this helps, BOW..

cipx2 Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 May I ask where do you see the 4 bolts in your picture (actually they're studs) on the 300tdi manifold/turbo, 'cause I don't? Or how do you plan to "unbolt" the 300tdi turbo from the 300tdi manifold, in order to put the 200tdi turbo in its place, when there are no bolts? In case you didn't click on the link I gave you, let me quote what Les H said in the other thread: "You would have to replace the whole manifold. 200TDi is bolted to it,300TDi is part of it.". This is what I intended you to read. Quote

twizzle Posted October 26, 2009 Author Posted October 26, 2009 well i dont know what happened there twizzle Quote
MECCANO Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Nice one twizzle, i've always thought about this. Let us know when you've got it running. Quote
bow Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 so what you ment then was will the 200 turbo internals fit the 300 turbo housing, let me know how you get on, very interested, does everything measure up, never stripped a turbo, just swapped them when they die. all the best, BOW.. Quote
mattdrummond99 Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 hello all! just wondering how twizzle got on with turbo? did original 200 oil pipes fit? and how did you get around wastegate fittings? also would 200 exhaust bend fit onto, actually i know it fits, but will it clear chassis, to run exhaust under passenger floor? am trying to work out before fitting to lr, as use car every day and have to do a weekend swap and exhaust make up!
