200 TDI from a Discovery in Defender using a 19j turbo
I bought the engine from e-bay. Shipment 95£. It is a 1993 J-reg. discovery engine and it has only don 93.000 miles. With the engine came radiator, intercooler, hoses, air filter, fuel filter and lines, also got the pas-pump and alternator.
Why use the 19j turbo setup?
The Discovery exhaust manifold is in the wrong place. On the Defender engine it sits on top of the intake manifold. But on the Discovery it is poisoned below the intake manifold. This position will get in the way of the left hand inner wing, and on LHD Defenders the turbo is also in the way of the steering link. If the Discovery setup is used I’ll have to make another exhaust front pipe as well plus altering the clutch bracket on the bulkhead. Therefore I wanted to use my old 19J turbo, which is in an excellent condition.

Note! Grind the surface flat on the manifold to the same height all three places so that the small angled brackets will fit perfectly. |

Three pices of angled irons drilled and cut to hold the manifold firmly on the cylinder head. Look at the grinded surface behind it. |

Kenlowe fan works fine, but the radiator seems to be large enough not to turn the radiator on at any point. The temp reads a little high due to a higher working temperature then the 2,5NA |
| This is a perfect setup.
The 200tdi is really worth plugging in. It is far more smooth and the noise
is reduced. It pulls like a train up hill in 5'th gear. This is the best
thing ewer don to this Land Rover. The 2,5 NA was just an to old design
witch cant really cope with the modern traffic, but would be perfect in a
series 2a or series 3.
I'm thrilled with this engine, the 19J setup seems to work as it should. |
