c20xe to turbo

[daleNOVAbrennan]

Hi,planning on rebuilding my xe, and while doing so fit let pistons, exhaust cam, turbo+manifold,drill out oil return,fit oil feed, throttlebody, loom and ecu.
Is there anything im not thinking of, and dont want anyone saying just buy a let, im rebuilding this anyway, and not in any rush to get it built so dont mind waiting for a bargin, cheers Dale

thats about all you need mate you can use the xe cams/throttlebody to save money just a vacum hole in the side of a let throttlebody but can mod the xe one easy

[daleNOVAbrennan]

cheers, how do they mod the xe throttlebody ?, will i need fuel reg, rail, injectors, got cream injectors now

[turbojolt]

dosnt the let have extra sensors on the inlet/tophat, seems to remember reading that on a simlar thread to this one

[daleNOVAbrennan]

couldnt find much on search, thought best to ask before i get half way through an realise im buggerd because it wont work

[turbojolt]

dont think i read it on here, might have been migweb someone was banging on about extra sensors and diffrent looms, will have a look for you

[daleNOVAbrennan]

cheers

[turbojolt]

never mind me I'm a pleb, it was just on about running a vacuum from the inlet not on about sensors, i will go sit in the corner now.

[daleNOVAbrennan]

haha, so u can use the xe throttlebody ?

Fuel reg should be a 3 bar one, if your current XE runs creams it's only be a 2.5 bar

And yet a set of yellow injectors

Mind the Amal valve and ecu too,

[daleNOVAbrennan]

ye got a diagram for the pipework,amal.Will get some yellows and fuel reg aswell, what size should i drill out the return oil feed?tap size? what works best on the lets a recirc or dump valve? sorry for all the questions best to know everything before i buy anything, cheers

[chambers1984]

ye mate sorry you will need injectors. prob best to put a aftermarket fuel reg on aswell so you can set it to what you want. you can run it without an amal valve just fit a boost controler.

[daleNOVAbrennan]

sounds like a plan, just set it to a safe level then it cant overboost
