Hi guys,
We started Jontys B18FT conversion this weekend and made good progress.
The C1J was pulled out and the B18FT fitted.
The front C1J engine mount was re-drilled to fit the F block.
We fitted the Prima Tubular Exhaust manifold.
Had issuses with the T25 interfering with the water outlet from the head so had to fit a small T3 on an extension bracket which has given the required clearance.
Its all in and bolted up nice and tight so now we need a little advice and some bits and bobs.
Can you help.
Firstly what fuel pumps do you guys use for this conversion?
With the Power Steering pump removed and the alternator running in the std position what length aux belt is required?
Do you retain the original alternator tensioning bracket?
Do you run the brake servo from the port on the windscreen side of the throttle body or the one under the ISCV inlet?
Using a std gtt radiator does anyone one have any helpful tips for the water pipe run? or is there a better rad to use that is easier to pipe up?
If we want to use the gtt sandwich plate does anyone know if the threaded insert that is in the block (that the oil filter spins onto) can be removed?
Right now for the bits that are needed....
Throttle cable.
Water pipes.
Volvo alternator & Aux belt.
Turbo oil feed pipe to suit a T3 (think its 1/8" BSP)
Oil return to suit a prima racing manifold + 2" extension.
Fuel Pump.
Cheers Chaps...
I will also PM Haz as I see he has loads of bts up for grabs
