i was going to say the same thing...
plate would be easy enough to make up
|
|
WHY T3's.... because they are just so adictive, and having one just aint enough

Yeah i think becuase i was laying in the rain trying to eye these up it made it worse lol, figured i need to make a bracket.
Fresh head on today and i got quite a lot done, just waiting for shit plate to mate gearbox up then it can be put in. Wiring is all labeled up just needs cutting and soldering so im hoping next weekend it will be in and running. I made up an exhaust flange as well just need some mandrel bends to make a manifold of some type, ill post up some pics once its all done. thanks for the help! Jon

I'll join in this 'club' too then
I have also amassed 99 % of the metal bits needed to hang a 2e in the back of my bus. It is at the moment a 1.9gw so i already have the injected tank and inline pump. This seems to be more than capable of suppling the required pressure. My two 'areas of interest' are the exhaust and wiring. Like T3addict i have looked at the 1.8spi exhaust manifold which has a nice square 4 bolt flange and large bore pipe which I think is not too dissimilar to the 1y manifold i also have. The front pipe on this also includes a small bit of flex and the bore size looks to be very comparable to that of the jx front pipe. My thoughts are to splice the 2. On the wiring side, those who have fitted the 2e are you going with a modded 2e loom from the car the engine came from or where i am sort of heading which is running it on the stand alone Mk11 golf gti digifant ??????????? Enough rambling for now !! Andy

easier to go with the car's ecu and loom rather than trying to mod one of the earlier ones to suit! theres a lot of multiplugs wires to convert otherwise....

Got engine in today all bolted up! was a faff to get the mounts to line up with the bars not as easy as i thought it would be!
Noticed when i was putting gearbox mount back on to the chassis that there is 4 extra captive nuts. So you could if you wanted bolt to gearbox more to the left hand side of the vehicle. Any ideas if it should be to the left or right ? I solved the engine bar problem. Thanks Jon

i will have pics of the cooling setup next weekend when its finished, just waiting on some more parts.
I have a question for the guru's, i have a diesel dipstick tube but it seems to thin and rattles around in the hole where the gti one went? for now i have done a measure and cut down the gti one but its only a temp job. **edit** sorted it!** Jon

I see that you have sorted the dipstick now. the way i did this was to drill the bottom section of the GTi tube out to 7mm(?) to give a tight fit for the JX tube. Then cut the car one off just above the flange and fit it to the block before fitting the JX tube inside it.
Done right, the dipstick should still be at the right level to read correctly. Is that what you did? Garyd |

Hi, im leroy. Im new to the forum, and new to the scene (apart from having my Golf).
I currently have an 85 Carravelle Auto with a DG WBX which has been bodged in by the former owner. Ive decided im gonna go down the route of a mK3 2.0 GTi lump. Ive read this topic and so far ive come up with the following..... Things i need Diesel Bell housing Diesel Engine Bar Deisel Input shaft Mk3 Engine, Loom, ECU, Mk2 fuel Pump Mk2 Lift Pump Can i still use the auto box or is this gonna be an issue? Do i need to move the battery into the bay? I know im hijacking this thread but im just a dumb ass and need some definate answers. some help with this would be great. Ive got a mate with some experience on these vans, He's recently help to fit a sccoby twin turbo lump into a t3. So should be good to go. Cheers |

cant use the mk2 lift pump! use a facet / weber inline purolator. you dont need battery in bay but as the leads are all shorter it'll help with cranking over! if you want it auto make sure you have a good box first! should be right tho! my box had a mis match of box and converter so was quick as you like on level ground but died on hills! and no amount of power will make it better! as yours is already an auto you should know weather yours is a goodun! only thing i'm not sure on is the diesel belhousing/starter fitting the starter ring in the tourque converter? i made an adaptor for mine as i wanted the engine upright. have fun tho!

I don't think the bellhousing goes on the autobox - It only fits the manual box.

You can use an adapter plate - really depends what trans you prefer.
Someone will sell an adapter plate to do it - maybe Kennedy if no UK sources. Otherwise a different engine may be easier??? A good engineer could make one anyway. |

get a brew on then have a read!
in principal you can set the ring at whatever angle you want to re-align the box to the new engine! i have the adaptor for the tourque converter to fit any pre 95/96 inline four 1.6/1.8/1.9/2.0 you can buy off me if you want?
