[Sort of Feeler] Need a Kickstart on my +T project

calvintibia001

I just saved up some spare cash (actually not a whole lot), and decided to start hunting around for parts and get a better idea of my budget Things I need: Turbo ECU + Turbo EZK (preferable chippable) Manifolds (Inlet Manifold and Exhaust Manifold (preferable 90+) HOES ! (From Turbo to IC, IC to Intake Manifold) Intercooler + Intercooler Mount (Don't mind if its stock or not, preferably with the mounting alrdy fabed) Oil Cooler + Oil Cooler Mount + Oil Filter remote mount Turbo Downpipe (Actually I want one that is at least 3", don't care if its stock or you weld it urself, as long as it doesn't fall off) Bigger Injectors ? (Actually I have no idea do i get high z or low z)

I'll stick my VX3 at the moment, but anyone is goina let their T cam or anything better to go, throw me a price : )

I think thats it, if anyone knows what I should have got and didn't, just tell me : )

One more thing, if anyone have a spare pair of 960 corner Tailights, I want the one with the Red White Red, instead of the Red Orange Red ones, shoot me a price as well : )

Thanks a lot guys : )

I might have to hijack some inspiration from this thread also, I think i might be taking on a very similar task..

James had made a list of stuff that I will need for +T on my B230FB,

Turbocharger (TD04-15G, why get anything else? )
Turbo ECU (be careful to get the right ECU - is your car LH-2.2 or LH-2.4?)
Turbo EZK (I think it's different from N/A one)
Intercooler
Air box/pod
Hoses - intake to turbo, turbo to I/C, I/C to inlet manifold
Turbo exhaust manifold. Try and get a 90+
Turbo downpipe
Oil filter remote arm with oil cooler sandwich plate
oil cooler
Oil cooler mounting brackets
I/C mounting brackets
Engine gasket and seal kit (about $120)

You can take it as a reference : )

I've got at least two spare -89 exhaust manifolds. One is cracked and is VERY cheap (usable, no worse than half the 740Ts are currently using, but I've struggled to justify fitting it to a car... You probably will struggle too...). The other is good. Has a healthy 12B on it, if you wanted the turbo.

Definitely have spare EFI intake manifolds, with fuel rails and injectors (etc), but I thought only the injectors & FPR changed?

I think I have the oil cooler stuff for a 740/940.

A good mate will have the ECUs, IC and injectors from his 91 945T donor car. He is highly likely to want very little money for them.

I think i need a quick lesson in LH 2.2 vs LH 2.4?

Spac it would be great if you could get those parts, I might just skip the -89 manifold and the turbo, I want the fuel rails, injectors, intake manifold, (do u have the fuel regulator as well?), actually how much of his engine and stuff is still there ? when will you come to Adelaide next time : P

Calvin, he bought a complete '91 945T for the block and manifolds for his 240 rally car - he has rebuilt the motor, fitted a different turbo, a ported 531 head, KG cam, PWR IC, and different injectors. His car already has an Autronic.

Logically, this leaves the original head/cam, ECUs, injectors, IC and turbo.

I have intake manifold, fuel rail, and (I think) turbo injectors and FPR.

I won't be in Adelaide for ages, but Ethan will be up here soon, and is generally happy to cart stuff back with him.

I consider myself to be pretty knowledgeable about the capabilities of LH-2.2 and 2.4. I've also converted a 740 from 2.2 to 2.4 which is itself a PITA.

The main thing to take away is that 2.4 learns your configuration better than 2.2, and will accomodate various injectors and turbos and so on (it is "closed loop"). Thelostartof on Turbobricks also sells fuel chips for 2.4.

What turbo does it have ? I have a 531 head, so ill skip the head, what cam it have a T cam ? should i keep my vx3 ? ill have everything else, could you send me a list of stuff and price ? The reason i ask you are coming down is coz i think i need someone to look at the shocks and how to make it work

Can you send me a photo of the top of the strut insert?

I'll talk to Petey about his left over bits, and confirm what I have.

His turbo will be a small one. I suspect his turbo will be buggered, as the car had been hugely neglected (to the point of needing a sleeve put into two cylinder). I'll get him to confirm it all and a price.

I'll send you a pic when I get home, I'll get my own Turbo then, awesome bro : )

Spac thats the front strut top thingy

Hey Calvin, if you end not getting the IC, IC brackets and the hose to the intake manifold, I think I have those lying around from when I was going to +T my 240. I also have an exhaust manifold but it's pre 90 and it has had the egr hold welded up so probably not good for your needs.

Thanks for offering anyway, exhaust manifold I am really hoping to get a 90+ and I might chop the flange off and stick a stock T3 Flange on it, or port the mf out of the 90+, anyway if ended up not having the IC and IC brackets, I might grab if from you : ) Thanks : )
