kingdong2 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Hi guys my mate has decided to go 200 tdi does anyone know if the exhaust conversion kits you see on ebay connect to a std series exhaust or do they connect to a larger bore exhaust its just my mate doesn't want to go the steve parker route as i did with mine as he won't have the funds to cover it aswell as doing the engine conversion and he has just recently replaced his petrol exhaust with a new one. cheers graham ______________________ 1962 2a swb 200 tdi.

Jon White Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 The petrol exhaust will be too restrictive for the 200tdi - look at the peashooter tailpipe on one for example! No idea if it will match up with the standard system or not - I just made my own up out of the old discovery exhaust. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdong2 Posted January 28, 2010 Author Share Posted January 28, 2010 ar yeh i forgot about that i got mixed up with di and tdi as we where talking about going di before we decided on going tdi and still had it in my head as reguards the exhaust going di. right ok how about these kits joining to a disco 1 tdi exhaust my idea is to use a disco exhaust and make it fit the s111 swb has anyone done this. cheers graham _____________________ 1962 2a swb 200 tdi.

Rich_P Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I wouldn't have thought that putting together a system would pose a problem, if you got it right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spongie2a Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Out of the turbo you want an adaptor to clamp the disco front section into the turbo. then a 90 down and over the chassis rail, sweep the front pipe from the disco down the footwell, below bulkhead outrigger, flatten out under the floor into discovery back box and out just below the door infront of the wheel. Job done, 1 Front pipe and 1 back box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejparrott Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 My 88's exhaust is built out of Steve's front and second pipes, and a mixture of 90 TD parts from there on. It all works reasonably well...just got a few rattles which I'm gradually clamping. Now, I'm no expert on exhausts or the design of pipework. But somewhere I read - possibly on Steve's website - that the angular ebay ones do not last as long, and cause restrictive turbulance, Steve's properly curved job doesn't. If I find the site again I'll post it. But there is a much easier way, and I wish I'd done it with the 88 before - Fit a 300TDi turbo/manifold assembly, and use a 300 front pipe. It fits perfectly alongside the Series engine mount, points downwards so is easy to get at, and allows masses of space at the rear next to the footwells to get the air intake in.

MattMatt Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Steve Parkers downpipe is the best really - I made up my own from a KwikFit parts bin raid but it never worked particularly well so I bought one of Steve's orginal down pipes for the 90 conversion and modified it, few ago that was. Steve actually came down and looked at it before he designed his own. The original Series exhaust pipe is small and the silencer will restrict the gases getting out of the engine quite alot. It is a completely different design to the 200 I think so may best to change it (or just leave it out). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

picpoki Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 So if I use standard 2.5 petrol exhaust on 200tdi conversion my engine will be overheating? Is it possible to solve this without changing the hole system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejparrott Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 well I dont know about overheating, but strangled it deffinately will be. My exhaust is 2.25" diameter and flows well enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ludylandy Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 The engine shouldn't overheat but you'd be down on power. A free flowing exhaust allows the turbo to spool up quicker and hold boost further up the rev range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spongie2a Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 not so much overheating just really down on power. The idea is to get as much air and fuel in fast, burn it and then get it out even faster. Seriously change your systen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picpoki Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Any advice how to solve this problem without changing the hole system? Thanks for the info. D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejparrott Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 You cant, the Series exhaust is too small a bore for the TDi, it will strangle it. Your best option is to fit a 300TDi turbo and exhaust manifold assembly, and then run a 300TDi defender system, adjusting as required by cutting and welding.

picpoki Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I hoped that I only need to change the silencer and not the hole pipe... Are the pipes the same? Talking about the diameters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdong2 Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 no the tdi exhausts are 2 1/2" at the joints the series exhaust is a lot smaller something like 1 3/4" i think but not sure. graham _________________ 1962 2a swb 200 tdi. 1997 disco 1 300 tdi.

picpoki Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I just mesure the diameter. Defenders external diameter is about 53mm, 300tdi is around 60mm. Thet exhaust from 200 and 300tdi are the same I belive... Now I`ll have to make the hole system new Cheers Dejan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
