Spy Shots – 300Tdi and 200Tdi Variable Geometry Turbo.[

[Happyoldgit]

To be honest, when i post on here it takes 5 days for it to show for some reason....Ada

That's because even though you have been registered on here for over two years your post count is only just into double figures so your posts still have to be manually approved by a moderator, it's an anti spam thing and you will find there are sticky threads about explaining the reasoning for at the top of most of the sections here.

I have now removed the moderator approval for your posts although doubt it has regularly taken 5 days for your posts to appear in the past.

All,

My apologies for the delay in replying – unlike a lot of companies I am only a one man band, and haven’t had time to be on here much lately.

But – here we go:

Turbos:

300tdi is custom made for this application. It is not a turbo designed for another application bodged to fit, and it is not a TGV turbo.

The turbo is based on our very successful Td5 Variable Geometry Turbo, so uses a Td5 spec compressor housing, but the exhaust housing has been specifically designed and cast for the 300Tdi application.

The only parts that you need to reuse are the ‘horns’ from your old turbo set up.

However, if you don’t think you’ll be able to get you old manifold split into its 3 sections, I do usually have ‘horns’ available on an exchange basis.

You also need to fit a new oil drain pipe – but this is supplied in the kit.

The turbo is a direct replacement, and unlike using the TGV turbo, you can keep your standard exhaust down pipe, standard air intake, standard intercooler hoses etc. Meaning that any spare parts are available off the shelf – making life a lot easier.

Being based on our Td5 Variable Geometry Turbo, means that the turbo will flow more air when fully open that a standard 300Tdi Turbo – so you get massively improved low speed pick up, and a mid-range and top end increase when fuelling is matched to the characteristics of the new turbo.

If needed I can offer a race version of this turbo, but if you were going to these extremes I would also look at inlet manifold and head modifications.

I also offer different fuelling pins etc. etc.

I do have a 300Tdi available for demonstrator purposes.

200Tdi – See spy shot.

This is the first picture of the turbo fully fitted. The turbo has been done for a while, but we have only just had time to finish the installation off.

The kit will come with new oil drain and feed pipes, and an exhaust adaptor to allow the turbo to fit a standard down pipe.

Again, this turbo will offer a massively improved low end, and a good mid-range and top end increase.

As with all of my conversions, the kits are a simple bolt on conversion, and all none standard parts (which we have reduced to a minimum) are included in the kits.

At the moment, we have only done a Defender kit – however, we will have a Discovery available soon.

Price wise (all based on exchange for your standard turbo) – A 300Tdi Turbo only is £895 + vat. There is an extra charge for horns etc. if required.

200Tdi – TBA – but should be in the same ball park as a 300Tdi.

And I also have a full range of Td5 and Tdci turbos' available.

Regards

Ian

Has anyone fitted one of these yet ? they look like a good upgrade would like to hear from some one with one fitted, prefer a 300tdi. WOuld be good to have some sort of miny review.

James,

I have a demonstrator available if required...
