first of all sorry for my english im french ;)

 

I'm swapping a tt engine into a n/a car and i ran into a few problems

 

This is my first project car and i dont know much about car mechanics, ive learn much since i started the project and solves a lot fo problems myself but now i need your help.

 

My n/a car is a 95 L/H 5 spd

My tt engine is from a 90-93 R/H auto

 

 

mechanical issues

 

the oil cooler mountings holes doesnt seems to fit anywhere where should it be mount (a pics would be appreciated)

 

electrical issues

 

on my 95 harness i have a connector that goes right next to the egr valve

and i dont have this connection on my tt engine... im using the tt ecu do i need to do something about this or just leave the connector unpluged?

 

Vacuum issues

 

1

 

I bought a manual boost controller and I removed the stock wastegate solenoid... there was a hose from (before turbo compression piping) to the wastegate solenoid. It seems like I dont need this connection with my aftermarket boost controller is that correct? Do I plug those holes...

 

2

 

I also bought a boost gauge i plug it right on the balance tube... will it work properly. if not where i should plug it

 

3

 

With the egr & prvr valve solenoids i copy my n/a engine plumbing but i really like too have a diagram for this since the service manual is not clear about those connections

 

4

 

I removed the (wheel well) to find out there was no AIV :confused:

is this critical??? my n/a engine was working great :confused:

 

5

 

Where is the boost jets goes (does it matters if there is any, if yes, why)

 

6

 

Where the right throttle chamber vacuum (pointing the front of the car) is plugged to...

 

7

 

where recirculation valve top should lead (where on the intake manifold)

 

That's it for now

Thanks for reading this

I hope you guys can help me out ;)

>> the oil cooler mountings holes doesnt seems to fit anywhere where should it be mount (a pics would be appreciated)

 

depends on what oilcooler you have.

if you have one from a TT, the cooler should be mounted under the nose panel in front of the elec. fan. (you will need to remove the stock airbox to be able to reach this area)

 

>> on my 95 harness i have a connector that goes right next to the egr valve

and i dont have this connection on my tt engine... im using the tt ecu do i need to do something about this or just leave the connector unpluged?

 

it's probably for a EGT temp sensor.

you can leave it disconnected if your engine doesn't have this.

However you will need a '90-'93 ECU (VERY important).

you won't be able to use your NA ecu

 

>> I bought a manual boost controller and I removed the stock wastegate solenoid... there was a hose from (before turbo compression piping) to the wastegate solenoid. It seems like I dont need this connection with my aftermarket boost controller is that correct? Do I plug those holes...

 

with a manual controller it's best to leave the stock configuration as it was, since this will retain safetyboost (for in case something is wrong) and since MBC's have a tendency to overshoot/spike the boost it's better to be safe then sorry.

If you have an electronic controller you can remove all that stuff and connect the controller's solenoid straight to the wastegate actuators.

 

>> I also bought a boost gauge i plug it right on the balance tube... will it work properly. if not where i should plug it

 

will work fine on any hose taken from the balance bar

 

 

>> I removed the (wheel well) to find out there was no AIV

is this critical??? my n/a engine was working great

 

is not critical, but again you will need a '90-'93 ECU programmed with AIV removed otherwise the idle may be a little erratic.

 

>> Where is the boost jets goes (does it matters if there is any, if yes, why)

 

boostjets AND a manual boost controller ????

I don't think the engine will last very long.

 

>> Where the right throttle chamber vacuum (pointing the front of the car) is plugged

to...

 

it runs to the carbon canister using a small pipe on one of the intercooler pipes

 

>> where recirculation valve top should lead (where on the intake manifold)

 

both recircs run to the balance bar/plenum

Sorry i cant help too much with your questions - but theres no need to apologise for your english, its a damn sight better than this!

 

Hi, Im new to da forum. Every1 calls me B. Im from Hounslow and have a 300zx twinturbo. Ive had it for almost a year and have modified da exterior and engine all myself. I thought its about tym i join da forum as my best friend Zee here too. I would have joined along tym ago but i sold my zx to a friend 'BIG MISTAKE', I missed my car so much dat I looked into buying it bak after 8months of it gne cz i realised im always gna be into Z's n ders nothing else dat will satisfy me, so nw dat its bak into my hands n wer it belongs i thought id join da forum as it wont eva be goin newhere. tk ppl spk to guys soon.

There is a very helpful video on this site that shows where pipes etc are routed and how the water bypass and EGR stuff is routed etc. I referred to it before I did some of my fiddling at the weekend. However, it's 128Mb so broadband only !
