Will a 2.5Di fit into a Mk6 ?.

[john leeman]

Just wanted to know if a Di will fit into a Mk6 chassis cab 350, which gear box & prop plus rad & hoses ?. There was a thread on here but cannot find it. John L.

I thought the Duratorq was supposed to be a good engine with 4 valves per cylinder

We've still not seen any proof of a running Di MK6, only half completed bodges. Still a stupid idea

[ripbuster]

Maybe a stupid idea but if you ain't got a pot to pi$$ in and you wanted to keep on the road it would be perfect imo

The irony of the whole subject, I have 4 good Di's in my sheds, but need a 125ps duratorque. Just wanted to pick some one's brain. Only wanted for local work so a slow Di would do. John L.

I'm pretty sure that if Bazw can fit a Di in a Sprinter, then fitting one in a MK6 would be childs play to him

I would certainly love to own such a beast, just to be different

[bazw]

bring me a mk 6 and leave it with me a week or two and i will see what i can do lol


you want it fwd or rwd or 4wd ? lol

[jay]

its been done a few times on RWD mk6 transit but doubtful if you can make 1 FWD easily(bet someone will use the old 1.8 engine)
and you would really want a turbo Di.

I`ve seen one in a RWD ! we mot`d it,has the early `86? TURBO engine,they`ve even plumbed in the mk6 intercooler,used the mk3/4/5 MT 75 box,a combo of different mk`s to make engine mounts.
Everything used is transit,so spares easy.
Probably around 100PS with reliability

If you were a bit nearer to me, I would do just that

Nice idea,I have Di engine's MT75 & prop's ,gearstick, rad's etc,many engine legs, the vehicle is not moving at the moment on SORN & head off. Its a 51 reg LWB chassis cab with a dropside body with a crane on, anybody wan't that. John L.
