The intercooler size is unknown at the mo but im lookin at a 24x6x2

And yes I will have a turbo - thus the intercooler!

I just need to know if it is possible to bend the pipes? Since I dont really wanna be damaging the Power Steering if you know what I mean

Jon

I am planning my engine swap/turbo upgrade.. on investigation of where I would put the intercooler I need to move the power steering lines behind the bracket that is there, is this possible? Can I just bend the lines? Also if i was to bend them behind this bracket would they be ok closer to the rad?...

I have found a J-Spec KLZE with 33,000 Miles on the clock for £550 (inc delivery) is this a good offer? Or should I be looking for lower mileage?

Thanks

Jon

About 10psi with the turbo!

Do you know how much would the ZE cost?

Btw should I be trying to get a MX-6 gearbox for the swap or should I keep the MX-3's?

Thanks

Jon

I see!

Would you happen to be going to any shows down south this year?

hmm... i dont know whats worse, yell.co.uk or 118118.com! lol

Jon

I had a look at your worklog, it didnt look like it was that hard to take out the existing engine, or is that just a clever picture arrangement? lol

Jon

Lol, well looks like I have some research and some phone calling to do!!

Thanks for the advice BADMX3

(I assume its worth doing various engine mods to the 2.5 while out of the car lol)

Jon

Where is the best place to get a KL-ZE? Off another car? Do you know any for sale?

Is it a straight swap or is there any major mods to be done?

Jon

So you would recommend swapping it out first then doing a turbo install on that?



Jon

What pre turbo mods would you recommend for a stock 1.8 V6? As I want to build it up strong ready for the turbo! (Dont wanna risk adding boost to completely stock engine! :S )

Thanks

Jon

Any idea when the kit is gonna b ready?

Kool, I will definately be at Donny South, I still need to think about the others!

Was you at last years?

I didnt see any MX-3's

Jon

Who is going to what shows this year?

Maybe some of us can meet up at a few!

Jon

Only one!

Do you know how much it cost and how much PnP etc cost?

Jon

Thanks for that, ok well looks like I may be in if I get the money

Did you have to make any mods to get the air filter in?
