My C20LET conversion thread

Cool, cheers.

Benn I will give you a PM if I don't find any locally tomorrow.

Any reason why not SS?

[Benn]

Ss isn't as strong. The ones i have are +8.8 and comer in a finish that's nice and silver.

I'm having difficulty taking the sump off

Undone all the bolts but the sump feels like its stuck to the engine, any ideas?

[craig green]

It is stuck, find a scraper & ease it in, do not lever it off with a screwdriver. Risk of bending the sump edge or even cracking it.

Just perservere.

Couple of questions:

1- anyone got a diagram of turbo coolant pipes and does anyone sell these or have to make your own?

2- what turbo to afm pipe can you use if you don't want to cut and bend the slam panel?

[Benn]

1, yes. Roose make them in Nova fitment.
I was told the front on (pointing at the rad) goes to the small out let on the rad.
The one front the rear/side of the turbo goes to the header tank.


2, if you dont wanna cut the slam panel then you'll need to cut and weld the turbo inlet..

[Mieran]

cheers Benn

£106 for 2 pipes is a bit pricey imo, any other alternative?

[Benn]

That want 50 for the front one i've just ordered.. No where else i've seen do them. Cheaper is to make your own.

[Mieran]

might end up using the standard cav/cali ones and extend them if need be

[Mieran]

Two small issues.

1. In the digram below is says there should be a pipe going from the turbo to rocker cover which also linked to top of amal valve. (pink line)

The 2 breather holes are 15mm diameter and the amal valve is 4mm and I can't find a T-piece with 2 15mm ends and 1 4mm end

So whats the trick there?



2. The turbo oil feed is clamped down by a nut but I didn't get that when I bought the engine and Vauxhall don't sell them no more.

Where can I get one?
