diesel to pinto

[wole]

hi all i have a 1998 mk5 diesel camper van so due to the emmsion rules that will be coming not too far off. i am going to fit a 1993 2 litre transit pinto. engine code nba. the mechanical part is no problem to me. my question is will the petrol engine wiring loom fit onto the camper loom. or should i get a distributor with points and a standard weber carb. thanks dave

The emission regs won't apply because of the age of your vehicle.

IIRC, the 2.0l Pinto kicks out more crap than the Di anyway....

Are you meaning the London LEZ?

[wole]

hi yes the london lez which will apply to all diesel vans and trucks 1.2 tons and over if registerd before 2001. this is planned to start on 3 jan 2012 unless they change their minds again thanks dave

Rover is the man to speak to about this...

Im guessing you have an EFI pinto then? I believe the wiring can be adapted and you will need to bypass the immobiliser (which would only affect the starter motor). If you can find the engine loom for a mk4 petrol transit it may just be plug and play

hi its not efi it has a weber but with quite a few electrics on it. i think 1993 was the only year they used this carb

Sounds like the servo controlled tickover?? dump all that and get an older dgv weber, though you may need a simpler ignition/dizzy setup off an older sierra, less wires, easier to plumb in.
