20v turbo project

[adamgardiner]

yeah gonna put it all in at once, don't mind having to cut stuff away to make room i guess the engine will be in and out like a yoyo to make sure it all fits well.

 

[adamgardiner]

Got rid of the emmision control crap 2day and fitted the new turbo manifold roughly got to work out where to positon the turbo once i get the engine in the car

 

[adamgardiner]

just to keep people informed i have now got most of the ecu loom complete just got map sensor, crank position sensor, lambda sensor and knock sensor to connect as i'm not joining to the factory wiring for these and a 2 multi plugs to connect up for 1 for the supply to the ecu and shift light out function and the other to the engine with, oil sensors, coolent temp sensors and feed to coil packs and injectors on, will hopefully be taking my old car a mk3 astra sport MOT this week or begining of next so hopefully can start the tripdown the start of march

[roly]

it's coming together nicely, good work

have you trial fitted the turbo yet ?? be interesting to see how much room there is when it's all in

 

[adamgardiner]

Not yet as the flange needs to be fitted to the manifold so i have a good choice of how to fit it, will hopefully get it all sorted this week then sent off to be machined and welded, by some mates. also looked at moving the radiator back today so i can get an intercooler made asap also, then when all thats being done i'm going to start removing the original engine loom

adam did you have to make the engine mounts or was they in the right place already?

 

[ibiza_95]

standard mounts as long as its the same subframe the 2l 16vs use

 

[big phill]

so will my 2.016v cordy be ok?

 

[ibiza_95]

yep

 

[big phill]

i see you've done tis conversion do you have a build thread did you keep air con or fit it etc?
also did you change the clocks or keep the standard one.
