td27 ????

[slide]

So I found this image of what appears to be a td27 (even has 'td27' on tappet cover).
But I noticed the intake manifold is way different to any I've seen before. Not sure if pipe across tappet cover is original, seems good quality mounts off heatshield rubber vibration mount etc.
And the oil filler is centred in tappet cover, all others seem to be offset closer to intake side. Appears to be alloy cover with raised lettering to (possibly just a sticker tho?)
Going by the tempsender plug it'd be late (94-) model, also got plastic radiator which confirms late-modelness.
I'm tripping balls here

Anyone got any idea what its from??

London taxi maybe, they also come out in the caravan as well

[kiwipete]

Looks like it's non turbo and the dip stick is in a different but more accessible place too?

[tweake]

also the atlas small truck, not to mention forklifts etc.

Also powered a lot of Austins too,

The london taxi images that I seen had the pan air filter like the non-turbo navaras. Those images do look like it tho, wonder if someone has cut and changed the forward facing manifold to be a cross over type
Also does look to be in a navara or similar (terreno, hardbody etc), but that could explain it if it has been modified intake

also the atlas small truck, not to mention forklifts etc.

Atlas Is very similar looking to the caravan engines, with the front (and many rear) facing intakes. I havn't seen any in forklifts, so don't know what they'd look like but good point

Ah, worthy of investigation. (not that I need to know, I'm not buying an austin , just interesting to find more td27 history/applications/differences)

Yea good point. make it easier to check oil level. not that td27's seem to use it between changes....

It looks like a d21 layout under the bonnet

Ah Ha I think I may of figured it (partly) out.
It looks very similar to the BD25 engine.
Which seems to be an overseas engine only, and so hard to find any info on. Not even mentioned on wikipedias list of nissans engines...

Manifold is different (bolted flange part on top, and smaller plenum).
Hard to tell as yet, but it may be a variant of the td27 (like the qd32, which is very similar yet a different series name)

Hmm, interesting.

[tweake]

the BD series looks like a TD/QD series with a DI head on it.

[wax]

Im thinking one of these on my qd32 would be a good thing. Direct injection, big power compared to indirect injection

[callum007]

Unrelated to previous question, but can someone tell me what the diaphragm in the photo is for?
On a mates truck. apparently its broken. Anyone got one spare for sale?

Cheers

[Crash bandicoot]

IT's for the EGR system.

undo the intake pipe, grab a phillips screw driver and undo the butterfly's plate to remove the restiction,

[callum007]

Cheers, do you need to remove anything else?
He wants to buy a new one, but if its the egr crap, I'll suggest he just remove it.

On another note that is a bd series engine and yes they are cool I have one to go in my nav soon. yeeha
