sweet guide,
Only bit I'm confused about as regards using a R400 GSI (non turbo T series) as a donor car is that can that engine be easily converted into a turbo lump? If so what parts are needed? |
Technically yes, i believe the differences are the pistons, rods, cams , oil outlet in the block for the turbo, sump pan (oil return for the turbo) engine wise. It mounts exactly the same etc! They are the same externally and its only the turbo that gives it away, but there are differences beneath.

it certainly is some write up dan, very impressed, maybe some more people will consider the t16 route now

Thanks for the reply :) Hm so really if using a 400 as a donor car the only bits needed from it are the engine mounts and wiring loom? (from reading your guide) Also when dropping it into a ZS I presume the ZS would have to been a 180 originally or else some of the parts already on the ZS won't work if it started off life as a K engined ZS (driveshafts etc) Sorry for all the questions, just very serious about doing this conversion and trying to figure out the best way to go about it all :) |

ive not seen anyone with an aftermarket inlet manifold (except myself ;) ). most use an M series inlet with the throttle body re-positioned to open the restrictive part of the manifold. Drew |
