Disco 200TDi into Ninety....
« on: December 15, 2007, 15:37:30 »
Any pics of your engine bays?  A Mate has bought a Ninety already converted to TDi from N/A, it has the airbox on the wing top and he would like to relocate it under the bonnet but is struggling for space....... :?

I made a bracket up by welding some small plates together and mounted it to the holes in the timing case this places the air filter just above the fuel injector pump. all very neat and give you options as to which wing you want to use to take a snorkle feed from.

Steve Parker makes a downpipe that solves the Disco problem pretty well.  I also turned the turbo snail housing round so it pointed up rather than straight at the wing.  This saves cutting the wing about and makes the piping easier.

I used the air filter out of Peugot 307 and mounte dit on the air con pump mountings.  It is plumped round to the turbo using some hose I bought from a motorsport supplier.
It's not a real car unless it's over 30 years old!
Classic cars are the ones who's owners wave to each other. I just bought a pretend car! F plate 90!

Any pics of your engine bays?  A Mate has bought a Ninety already converted to TDi from N/A, it has the airbox on the wing top and he would like to relocate it under the bonnet but is struggling for space....... :?
