    Diesel 200SX Conversion

    Hi guys

    Anyhow 200SX + Diesel engine = Sensible fun

    How it starts:-

    One BMW 525TDS (Manual)



    Picked the beemer up on Saturday, it drove lovely and the engine seems to have enough power to make the big beemer move fast enough, so should be fun in a S13

    Queue engine conversion:-

    Engine in and on it's new mounts





    Gearbox mounted up, using the original gearbox crossmember



    All thats left to do is the following:-

    Diesel Pump in the tank
    Wiring inc Speedo Cluster
    Propshaft
    I/C set-up
    Radiator

    and then ready to rock and roll

    Will keep this updated as I get on

    Certainly different! lol

    What inspired you to do the conversion? Is the engine staying standard?

    Absolute Quality!

    I started a flame war on here about a year ago now maybe, talking about a 200DX

    Can't wait to see how this turns out. If only I had more money....

    Erm, am I going bonkers, I may have had a stroke but didn't I see this exact thread started about a month maybe more ago? Yet here it is with Yesterdays date on

    Not that it isn't a cool idea.

    nah there is one in the Projects area on the main board.

    Seeing as I have this new layout on here, I thought I would include it on here

    PAS lines are sorted


    all I need to do is the electrics, exhaust, I/C
