jad Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Does anyone have a 200tdi engine sitting around with the flywheel attached that they can measure the depth/protrusion of the face of the flywheel from the flywheel housing? I would like the measurement to be pretty accurate if possible. Thanks for your help Jad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejparrott Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Measured at about 11 o'clock on my disco 200, it would appear to be 12.91mm. How accurate do you want, I can borrow a depth mic on monday if you want? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jad Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 Hi That is plenty enough accurate thank you very much. Can you tell me why you specified 11 o'clock? It should be the same at any position surely? and I assume that it is recessed by 12.9? so the flywheel cover comes further towards the rear of the vehicle than the flywheel? Thanks James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejparrott Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I wouldn't trust LR to have the housing and flywheel exactly parallel all the way across..... The flywheel is 12.91 below the level of the housing mount face yes. The flywheel is not exposed. Whats the reason? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jad Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 Thanks. Im making an engine/gearbox adapter using a short r380/LT77 setup for the gearbox with standard clutch and probably custom flywheel. That measurement will allow me to work out the overall thickness that the engine/gearbox adapter needs to be to position the gearbox the standard distance away from the flywheel, therefore putting the clutch in the correct location and making sure the splines are fully inserted! I hope..... I will put a build in the members section at some point..... Cheers Jad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 a stumpy R380, it should bolt straingt on. the clutch parts are same as the LT77 uses except the release bearing has a shorter overall length, part number UTJ100210. stumpy R380 had one in my 200tdi powered 110 since mid '94. it doesn't have any adaptor ring just the engines standard backlate/flywheel housing. before the R380 was fitted it had a bog standard 110 LT77.

jad Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 Its not a standard engine thanks for the info on the shorter release bearing though didnt know about that..... Jad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 LT77 release bearing if used with a stumpy R380 will cause the clutch to slip. as the 380 shaft is shorter.I found that out the hard way, what are you doing to the engine then ?

jad Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 Is there much difference to the release bearings apart from length? I was thinking of getting the all ali release bearing from rakeaway..... Im putting a 1uzfe in from the lexus ls400 in a 109. I bought it off bowie on here. When hanging the engine, standard lexus gearbox and toyota tbox in the rear propshaft was at a horible angle that would have not worked. Therefore last weekend I decided to go manual with lt230. I thought it would be easier to mate a different engine to gearbox than the lt230 to the auto lexus gbox. It solved some problems and created some! The r380 should be able to cope as the 1uzfe is max 350Nm (260lbft) although it produces ~270Nm (200lbft) from 1000rpm. I do have a gearbox cooler which I will be fitting.

western Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 just overall length when I compared the UTJ100210 item alongside a old FTC5200 LT77 version, bearing diameter & gearbox carrier internal diameter are otherwise the same engine conversion sounds interesting.
