Great thread covering most of what is involved with the conversion.

Engine mounts I am now again making new brackets for turbo clearance.

Clutch I do have a few kits available for turbo use and also now have a new flywheel and clutch kit with a much lighter flywheel than the dished one and being 240mm a higher torque capacity with a less agressive clutch. With any clutch upgrade the 360 bellhousing can need some grinding for clearance

Loving the details, but I'm still confused why the slimmer flat flywheel can't be used? It looks like it easily could be with a drilled flat flywheel or TTV unit.

Yeah, Dai's comment above sort of threw me off as to what can be used and what cant. I have been told that the dished flywheel is the one to use and I'm yet to see any other flywheel being used for the conversion with the 360. I'm hoping @DaiBrace will chime in and clear this up for us all.

The dished LH2.4 flywheel had been the only real option for turbo use keeping the LH2.4 system.

The TTV with 850R cover has been used but needed a lot of grinding of the bellhousing. I have now had TTV make some flywheels with an alternative bolt pattern to use another cover that is more curved giving less clearance issues

hello , I am doing the swap atm

and have been following this post

having a few issues with getting started (power/spark)

I have the loom from classic swede but I can’t figure out ignition wiring

is it the 6b cables that need to go to the ignition

or do you have any diagrams you could send me Thankyou Dean

The Red and yellow wire (B2) needs to go to the fuse near the battery. The pic below is showing the arrow pointing to the Red and yellow wire which is wrapped in conduit (bottom)

The A1 and A2 wires need to go to the main fuse box. I connected mine to fuse #9

Once you've connected A1 and A2 to fuse #9 and the Red and yellow wire to the fuse behind the battery you should be good to go. If you still don't have fuel and spark then check the Crank Position Sensor (CPS) is positioned correctly. It needs to be within 0.5mm - 1.5mm from the flywheel to pick up signal. If the CPS is not within the required range you won't get fuel or spark. I hope this helps. Good luck.

ALVO360 sent you a PM.

I’m running a separate fuel pump so I have fuel and fuel pressure

I can’t seam to find the A1 and A2 wires that I need to connect to fuse 9 .. ??‍♂️

I'll be starting this swap soon and I can assure you there is no chance I would have completed it without this tutorial!

Thank yoU!

Andoria I've just changed my setup because I want to run more than 20psi. I have a 90's manifold, 19t turbo, 3" dump pipe, intake + turbo to intercooler hoses and piping if you want them?
