Thread: 300tdi into a rangie

G'day all,

Well if I don't go the supercharger idea on my Rangie I would be keen to fit a 300tdi, or possibly buy a disco with one in it.

I have a really nice low kms (70K) 300tdi in my Series II comp rig (un rego) and I would use this motor for the conversion, I would either fit the 3.5L EFI or find another 300tdi (even a clapped out one, and prefered) to the series II.

My 89 RR has a ZF Auto, Am I able to keep this and is it the prefered option? Or am I better of going to a R380?? Car is for big trips and towing a car trailer around, but could become my daily drive if it has a diesel in it.

I assume I would need an engineers certificate??

LRH, You used the whole driveline out of a disco didn't you?? I would be keen to come check yours out and have a drive if possible

There is a reason behind not using a V8 trans behind the 300TDI, someone told me but I cant remember, might have had something to do with vibrations but for cost factor, I would give it a go if they fit.

It may have been Andrew from LRA but Im not sure.
