NA to Turbo shell - clutch swap problem - I have no nuts!

Ok, went to swap the clutch cylinder from my NA onto my turbo shell.

 

I know TT's have a pump, so knew I'd need to swap.

 

I removed the cylinder from the engine bay, then got under the TT dash and thought ok, tight, but fine...

 

Went to check out the NA (which is already stripped down) only to find there are no nuts! There are no nuts in the engine bay either.

 

So how do I get the NA clutch assembly off?!

As baz says pretty sure you do that from the engine bay 2 nuts top and bottom it's also what holds the clutch master cylinder on.

undo the Top Bolt where the peddle is and the two nuts on the Master cylinder in the engine bay ..

I should have considered that the same nuts for the cylinder would also be for the cage...

 

Cheers, it would have taken me ages to realise! Which is worrying!!! :blushing:

Why you using the na pedal anyway?

 

Don't I have to?

 

I'm putting my NA engine into a turbo shell. The turbo shell has the clutch booster, but as I'm not putting a turbo engine in, can I use the booster? Do I just need to connect it to the vacuum?

 

Sorry, not to sure howt he booster works, but I thought I wouldn't be able to use it as it connects to turbo bits that I don't have.

If You have the turbo pedal and booster you can use that system. It has a different Master cylinder.

The NA pedal is a fifferent ratio and works without the booster.

If You dont use the NA pedal then I know someone who will buy it off you!!!!!

I've been looking at clutch booster diagrams, and I'll need to check that I have all the relevant pipes and vacuum bits before I give it up, but are you saying the NA clutch won't fit anyway?

No Im not.

Both TT and NA systems work well.

But you need to keep all the NA bits working together IE pedal and master cyl

And likewise the TT pedal needs the booster and TT master cykinder.

 

The slave cylinder on the box is the same I believe.

TBH I dont think you actually need all the extra bottles/reservoirs. No doubt someone will give you an answer on exactly what you can do away with

Yep, I understand, I know I need the NA clutch cylinder with the NA clutch and the booster with the TT. I thought you meant the bolt alignment was different, or something like that.

 

I'm back over to my Zed's on Saturday, so I'll see where the booster pipe is leading too.

 

If someone could tell me whether I need all those vacuum canister, it would be really useful! (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/546/ce0.gif/)

You can use the na pedel box on your tt clutch, and you can use a tt pedal box and booster on a na, the only thing you need to do is use an additional 1 way vacuum valve when you T into the brake booster vacuum to stop the clutch bleeding vacuum away from the brakes, the rest of the vacuum chambers etc is redundant so not required.
