How come my combo uses small block CV's and driveshafts then? I know this for certain because I bought the car with a gearbox on the verge of failure and replaced it with another 1.7 combo box.Originally Posted by burgo
I also know the astra's diesel box is bigblock as the inner CV's are much larger.
i dunno. i just know the 1.7td's i have worked on out of cavvy's and astras are big block.
yes that's correct, It would be much easier to use the smallblock 1.7 combo box on the TD engine but I suspect the clutch will tell me to sod off
quite possibly. easiest way is to try it as your not loosing anything as youve already got it
This is very true, if it can't handle it I will fit the (I am assuming) larger flywheel/clutch and use the bigblock gearbox with a big block conversion kit.
yes i think they are bigger as i know someone once said you can use the small block boxes on the 17td but you have to run the 1.5 flywheel or something
Has anyone any info on this 3.1TD Isuzu trooper turbo conversion? I have found one for £60
no point in fitting a bigger turbo, the stds are more then enough to power it
how much boost can the standard one generate? From what I read it's 1.2 bar
thats all you need
