skydog Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Need qualified advice for the following task. I have D1 200Tdi with poor body and possibility to get for low money D2 3.9 auto transfer (2000 year). The questions are: -will 200tdi engine sit on D2 frame and fit with auto transfer box? This is one variant. And the other- -will D2 front and rear axles fit to D1 frame ? The idea is : D2 is in good condition but the consumption of 3.9 engine is unbearable for me at least. Thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
q-rover Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 200Tdi will probably be underpowered, I find the Td5 inadequate. The autobox won´t work properly with the 200Tdi as it is set up for a V8, power and torque regarding shift pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlechorus Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 In a nutshell I would say no. TD5 body is much heavier than that of the tdi models so you will be underpowered and the auto box setup will not work with the 200tdi motor very well as mentioned above. D2 rear axles use a watts linkage rather than an A frame so adaption will be needed. Personnally I would sell your D1 for parts i.e. engine/gearbox/axles and then use that cash to put the D2 on LPG, job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honitonhobbit Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Driven a couple of 300Tdi to D2's and a TGV D2. All nice vehicles. Both 300Tdi motors were in a light state of tune. All were R380 'boxes 200 Tdi has more available grunt. 200Tdi with an LT77 would work as would an R380. WOuld be a nice truck but would cost a bit to do For the cost of the bits get an LPG kit and sell the 200Tdi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skydog Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 And the last possibility as I see it. Can both 200Tdi engine and manual gearbox from D1 be fitted on D2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
