Nigelw Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Is it possible? Googling helped as far as telling me that on a 200 the bolt holes were out and needed fettling, but what about fitting on a 300? And does the ladder frame stay on if swapping to the TD flywheel housing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 ladder frame stays [only fitted to 200tdi] don't think a TD manifold will fit a 300tdi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb78 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 There was a Danish website once that showed the use of a TD manifold and turbo on a 200tdi disco engine - no need to change the flywheel housing as they bolt straight up to the LT77. I cant find the website at the moment though. I don't know about the 300tdi, but I think folks use the 200 flywheel housing on 300 engines in order to bolt them up to an LT77 if that is any help?

Pepé le Pew Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 There was a member of the Danish serie 2 club that did that but that site has been of the net for a while now. It is basically the same as this dutch guy did fitting a 2,25 diesel exhaust manifold to make a 200di. http://forum.lrch.nl/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=6977 Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejparrott Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Fitting a TD manifold to a TDi is a bodge, you can't use the studs as they don't line up with the holes in the manifold. No ladder on a 300 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 A 300 manifold fits a 200 so no a td won't fit (but a 300 manifold and turbo gives you more room for the exhaust though the engine mount may cause fun). Why do you need the td flywheel housing if your fitting a disco 200tdi to a 90/110 lt77 then you just need to countersink 4 holes and fit countersunk bolts (the ones the long bolts go through on a disco). Also you may need to tap 3 or 4 drillings in the flywheel housing to move the studs to the correct position. Failing that you could bodge it like a lot of people do and not bother with any of the above and just leave the bolts out! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejparrott Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Don't countersink them - buggers you up if you need to remove the ladder frame. I drilled my bellhousing so they went through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Fair point mind it only means you've got to split the box first. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejparrott Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Not easy though, it's either lift the engine out or it's handbrake off, gearlevers off, props off before you can slide the box back....I hate doing all of the above anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
