its a .2.25P..

half a day out, drive it to the builder, a day 2 days tops at the builders, half a day back in.

Excuse my ignorance but who is ‘MR’?

Isuzu 4bb1 or if you can get one a 4ba1 but thats rarer than a new 2l block for a SI

Why a 200, Dave? I ask as I have a SIII, and a 300. I was thinking of putting the two together.

just some minor changes to adaptor plates and the like.

if you have a complete tdi200 and a 2.25 it all just more or less bolts together and drops in.

theres a bit of working to get the 300 in.

the 200 manifolds a little more friendly for the series layout as well.

Thanks Dave. I don't know if I've ever even seen a 200.
