sorry another epic to bosh conversion question

[oddjobsion]

my turbo has to go it cost me £20 to go 25 miles on thursday and it is smoking and usless it feels like it has 10bhp.i bought another transit yesterday with a bannana type engine which runs sweet as a nut

my turbo engine leaks oil like a hospital drip so i thought id bolt on the turbo and inlet manifold and i heard in a serch my 100psi injectors would be better but what about the loom inside the cab would i be ok if i just changed the engine loom?

im handy with a spanner but dont fancy changing just the pump

so basically need a bit of a guide to what i need to keep and what to bin

thanks

So you want to put the turbo and injectors on your bananna engine?

Go for it you will need to change the sump, all the manifolds and downpipe over. Given its a turbo'd non turbo engine you set the timing with the pins and that should be spot on.

You will need to increase the fueling (screw on the back of the pump under the backplate cover) to get it to run its best, but just bolting the turbo and putting the 100PS injectors on to a 'nana engine releases more horses

I have put a turbo and all the gubbins on to my 76PS engine

sump rite.why?
and would i need to touch the timing if i leave the bosh pump on

[MinorMatt]

no need to touch the timing...

To stop the turbo seizing up its fed by pressurised oil, the oil is returned straight in to the sump... have a look there is a pipe from the bottom of the turbo going in to the sump.

Its not a difficult job to swap sumps with the engine in situ, I did it on my van, but you do need to move the steering rack to be able to get at the back 2 bolts.

rite with you what about the loom can i just plug in the new one by the battery.id like to keep the rev counter and i no i gotta change the pedal

[trigger]

Don't need the loom or your pedal if you are using the Bosch pump, the rev counter clocks can just be swapped over with yours but you may need to run an extra wire to the alternator

[oddjobsion]

but what do i do with the wires that go on the inlet manifold.a sensor and egr i think

or do i leave the turbo loom in

[trigger]

If you are turboing a banana engine the parts you need off the turbo engine are....

exhaust manifold

turbo

front pipe

sump

inlet manifold

turbo injectors

the exhaust manifold and turbo can be removed and refitted in one piece, you can do away with the EGR as this improves performance, if you are using the Bosch pump you don't need the loom, ECU, or electric pedal

[oddjobsion]

what are/do i do with the wires at the back of the bosh pump

[oddjobsion]

what i mean is where do i connect the cut off wire ant others.im not the best when it comes to electrical systems.
i have taken out both engines now and my new gaskests and filters will be here in the morning so i can build one up and hopfully fit it

[trigger]

If you are using the Bosch pump from the banana just connect it back to where you disconnected it, i assume you are using the same pump/engine

[oddjobsion]

yes but im using the turbo loom

[godderidge]

Use the engine loom of the non turbo engine and plug it in to the plug next to the battery and it should run.
You will not need any of the wires that go to the turbo engine as they all go to the computer and you will not be runing the computer

That's what i tried telling him, you don't need the turbo loom unless you are using the EPIC pump but he is using the Bosch so he only needs the existing loom from the banana

oh right sorry trigger ill be getting it in over the weekend now hopfully thanks for all your help
