Hi im thinking of putting a turbo engine into a n/a car is there any thing else i should change apart from the ecu?:stupid: any advise would be great.

 

Many thanks paul

apprantly its a lot of work to do. and its not just a pop it in job. and its alot cheaper just to buy a turbo zed.

 

Well thats what i have read??

Installing all the pipework for the turbo's and intercoolers in stock location ain't gonna be fun either.

smithy

If you do think of going ahead with it i have all the pipework and intercoolers and stuff to help you out :)

Hi all thanks for the info but what it is ive got a turbo auto with a rottern shell but iv been offered a n/a manual with a good shell but a shot engine so you can see what im thinking lol,so i was waying up my options.

 

Thanks paul

if you have all the parts, id go for it, the shell is the same, its just going to be fun when you come to sorting out the inter cooler pipe work.

Hi thanks vodkashots but is the wireing the same? and i have a big front mouting intercooler to put on it to lol

Cheers paul

just use the wiring from your TT and you will be fine. may as well do a hicas elimination as well while you are there. just remember as yours is a auto, you will need to change the pilot bushing in the crank at the flywheel end. just take your time, catalog everything you took off, put them in bags with a bit of paper saying where it came from, take loads of pictures and go slow. and if you get stuck just post a thread up we are always here to help matey

NA's don't have HICAS mate :wink:

But is'nt there a difference butween the auto loom and the manual loom with regaurds to the gear box? and some thing i have learned today didnt know n/a's didnt have hicas lol

 

Thanks guys

NA's don't have HICAS mate :wink:

 

i know they don't. but would of been a waist of his time trying to move that all over to the N/A shell though wouldn't it lol

Got you now. lol think I've had a brain fart.

put the intercooler pipework in from the engine bay first before engine goes in

So in all its quite a lot of work lol ill have to change just abuot everything then

satisfiying when it starts and you know you done the work though

use the n/a front loom, the tt engine loom and the manual box loom and everything should be ok for wiring

The shells are different,the intercooler pipe brackets are missing on an n/a and the rad mounts are different also.keep the same loom as its identical apart from the wastegate solenoid plugs.Buy yourself a boost controller to sort that problem out.

Ok guys thanks for the info but the n/a has fell through now so iv bought my self a tt manual instead :) but thanks for all your time you have spent answering my question's.

 

Cheers paul
