00princey Posted January 4, 2017 Report Posted January 4, 2017 I have a mk 2 transit with the pinto engine, I need to swap it for a Di. The pick up is going to be used as part of my hotdog stall at music festivals, and unfortunately petrol is banned from most sites when they become live. Please help... Free hotdogs for life ++ chips Thanks in advance
macford Posted January 8, 2017 Report Posted January 8, 2017 Ford Sierra Diesel engine Should be an easy fit Or the p100 , same thing
eeb43 Posted January 8, 2017 Report Posted January 8, 2017 Ford Sierra Diesel engine Should be an easy fit Or the p100 , same thing wont be man enough for a transit
macford Posted January 8, 2017 Report Posted January 8, 2017 P100 Sierra 1.8Turbo Diesel And Sierra 2.3 Diesel, Remember it was built with a pinto 2lt So if that could pull it ,any of the diesels should
eeb43 Posted January 8, 2017 Report Posted January 8, 2017 P100 Sierra 1.8Turbo Diesel And Sierra 2.3 Diesel, Remember it was built with a pinto 2lt So if that could pull it ,any of the diesels should p1800 td is what you were referring to and no its not man enough for a transit a di would be the ideal choice but the mt75 gearbox will need the floor/tunnel cutting and lifting
macford Posted January 8, 2017 Report Posted January 8, 2017 So what Diesel engine would you fit, And make it simple to fit That's not for racing,an good on fuel
eeb43 Posted January 9, 2017 Report Posted January 9, 2017 So what Diesel engine would you fit, And make it simple to fit That's not for racing,an good on fuel turbo di and auto or di and mt75 all available at realistic money
macford Posted January 9, 2017 Report Posted January 9, 2017 A lot more work involved and a lot of wiring. Thought the Sierra would be an easy option,and if it's an old transit wouldn't be that heavy No airbag ,ABS, P/S , etc
eeb43 Posted January 9, 2017 Report Posted January 9, 2017 only a lot of wiring on a turbo di or change the pump for a normal di one and wind it up an eighth of a turn a type 9 transit gearbox would be ok but not very strong
macford Posted January 9, 2017 Report Posted January 9, 2017 Could do with that in my escort ghia Petrol prices are shocking again,at least diesel gets good mpg
