Shopping list...
 
Not sure where to post this so...

Could anyone point me in the direction of what I need to source for the T16 conversion? As some of you know I have a full Ti as a donor ready to rock & roll, what else would I need?


Many thanks in advance,


Mick

Check the Thread in the new posts section by carmadbaker. Everything you need to know will be in there. Its under my Zs Turbo

You'll need a set of bubble 420 engine mounts, drive shafts from the same or a 45 diesel.

Dan (cableguy) on rt can do you a loom, for the clutch hydraulics I'd try and swap the ti m/cyl into the zs.

The rad and i/c may swap from the ti into a zs, try and avoid using a 220/420 turbo rad as they are expensive and hard to source.

There's probably some other bits that I've missed.

pas pipes from a 420 bubble.

Brilliant. Thanks alot guys. Once I've sourced everything I will start a build thread.

don't try and use a 180 radiator like I did, it's a total nightmare to make all the pipes meet as it is totally the wrong way round for the T series

I really struggled to get drive shafts that would fit with the PG1 box too, after trying just about everything a set from a 600 diesel fit nicely!

You might need the gear change linkage off a 420 as well, but only if the ti or 180 ones can't be used.

Maxxed_Ross 25-01-13 05:14 PM

if you're fitting a PG1 box then the 180 gear linkage works fine.

The lower engine brace needs to be modified slightly though
