mk2 petrol to turbo di hopefully

[Luke]

Will be selling the 5 speed pinto I paid £100 ands that's what I want back it's perfect box and a transit box not a sierra box

it's the same box as the Di - do you know the one on the tourneo is any good

[tonypastie1]

So u saying the di turbo engine will fit to my 5 speed pinto?
IF yes I got 2 spare di boxes one with the tourneo and one I had from another scrapper

[tonypastie1]

Ford etis says tourneo has mt75

[MinorMatt]

The diesel should bolt up to the pinto type 9 box - but you will need a diesel pinto clutch...

Personally I would keep the tourneo gearbox on the engine and use the propshaft off the tourneo too (but you may need to get it modified & balanced)

[Luke]

oh sorry is your 5 speed a type 9 i thought it was an MT75

if so then yeah sell it ........... if it's an MT75 with adapter plate to fit a pinto - it'll be the same box thats in the tourneo

[Luke]

yeah i agree with matt keep the MT75 if you cut this bit of floor out of the tourneo it'll fit like a glove on your mk2 floor then you'll have loads of clearnace and be able to change the clutch without removing the engine

[tonypastie1]

best cut my disc cutter out:)

do any of you guys no if the turbo engine wiring loom is seperate from the rest of the loom in the tourneo?

as i am think possibly using the whole loom and the epic pump as it runs well at the moment but i do have a bosch manual 146 pumping as well just in case
anything i need to consider before i jump right in !

[MinorMatt]

The epic loom is integral to the dash loom - however I expect with quite a lot of time and patience it wouldn't be too difficult to split it out?

Bosch pump is definately the easiest way to go though!

[tonypastie1]

bosch pump looks a winner but what about the sensors on the pipes and all the vacum things hanging about? or just leave them un plugged?
seems a shame to dismantle something that works fine (still want the bosch matt)

[MinorMatt]

none of the sensors are needed so leave them unplugged.

When the engine comes out there will only be 1 boost pipe which needs to be unplugged and this just needs to be blanked...

Feel free to ask any questions when I come and visit... its often easier to show than explain...

[tonypastie1]

will do
dont worry shall be asking

[MinorMatt]

I can't hang around for more than a few hours...

[Vandalism]
