Hi..

I'm starting on collecting all the stuff for the T03 conversion..

I've read the conversion manual .. but i want to clear some things..

- Radiator position .. does anyone have some pics (before.. during .. after)
- Exhaust mounting (using a Magnex FRST exhaust and the standard ERST downpipe) .... pics wanted...

- Oil return positioning.... what to do with the existing connection ... ??
- possibly using the existing piece ..(with threaded bolt) and cutting off .. and using a rubber hose..
Any hints or tips..
!!!!!

thanx!!!!

Soon to be runing with a fully overhauled engine .. and a fully overhauled turbo .. guessed power..... 180 BHP and 250+ NM torque (180+ lb/ft)
running a 1.6 CVH T03 .. with al the other bits i used before (-:

Watch out for the killer aubergine !!!!!!

No pictures, but rad goes forward about 1" best

You need to cut the downpipe, best to fit the downpipe to the turbo and cut it and the exhaust until they just about line up and slot them together and weld

Oil return, the frst one is treaded, it comes out with a spanner.. then replace that with the one out of a ERST, about 99pence from FORD

Use the ERST oil return pipe, about £11 from FORD

thanx.. this is the info i needed (-:

the FRST oil return was already out.. but the ERST oil return looks very differen (smaller) could be wrong.. but i'll have a look at the oil return of a m8's ERST ...

The rubber hose isn't 'just' 11 quid.. over here it'll cost me 54!!!! euro .. (about 35 quid) that's a REAL rippoff..

the downpipe will not be welded.. but clamped.. (like my magnex is right now)

the rad movement will be the easiest part..

thanx again..

Oke.. that pictures i had (-:

i know how a -31 actuator looks like!..

but i mean clear pictures of the hosing (lengths of hose.. and tubes.. and where to cut etc

also the oil return .. (preferable the normal position used.. not the welded version to the sump)

The oil return plug is interferance fit so fits straight in and stays..

You'll find its best to weld the downpipe mate.

Pipe lengths are individual to each installation as they vary slightly each time

please .. english is not my native language .. please restate the next sentence please

IT's hard to weld a steel downpipe to a Inox (magnex) exhaust (-: (which is normally clamped to the downpipe of the T2)

i don't have a inox downpipe..

Ill get some close ups 4 u for next week if u like m8. Best 1 ive got so far:

No worries mate

The New T3 oil return port fits directly into the original hole with no need to hammering or bolting etc. It is a perfect tight fit

[Jur]

I've ordered the oil-return bit..

the dealer has got 10 for me now (-: ..

now just the oil return hose (45 degree bend)

new at the dealer 54euro (about 35 quid) excl VAT .!!!!!!!!!!

that's a fudgekin rip off..

The problem will be trying to fit a bigger intercooler in their as well as the T3!

Hopefully cutting into the bumper and putting it infront of the rad should do it.
