Any idea how difficult a 2.4 TDCI 140 into MK2 Di would be?

[BEHEMOTH]

Like the title suggests, i'm wondering how crazy the idea of putting a 2.4 duratorq MK7 engine into a MK2 relly is? Obviously there'd have to be a fair bit of custon engineering done but does anyone have any thoughts on this?

[BigNeil]

why not do it the other way and put a Mk2 body on a mk7

[Guy88]

Transitgeoff has a MK6 TDDi in a MK1

[Luke]

anythings possable and like guy says geoffs fitted one so you know it will go in

[Neil]

go the easy way 2.5 di it will last longer too

[motorwise]

go the easy way 2.5 di it will last longer too

let me see - clean quiet, refined and powerful against gutless and noisey - I'd stick with the duratorq

[madmark]

wow if i had my mk6 engine in the mk1 it would leave the shell behind at the lights

your right but the di will be noisy when the duratorqes long gone

I agree with you there Neil. Three little letters - DMF.

that can soon be changed for a solid flywheel

OK, three more little letters - CPU. Then sensors, heat sesitivity, fuel pump, the gearbox it's attached to........

not a great duratorq fan then

[FredTransit]

no.

[School Boy]

Can you elaborate please, sounds interesting.

Which bit? Mk2 running a duratorq? Sticking with the DI? DI V Duratorq? Duratorq relyability (or lack of)?
