B18FT for engine conversion 440/460/480Turbo
 

Hi all im after a B18ft (Manual) Lump to do an engine swap
thought the best place to ask is on a Volvo forum


I need
Engine with all its ancillaries - or the ones enough to make it run (fuel rail injectors temp senders MAF)
turbo & turbo downpipe
Engine mounts
The 2 Ecus (engine and fuel ecu)
The loom
fuel pump and regulator - if its got one

preferably a low millage engine with a history
im based in north devon but am prepared to travel for the right item

or a car that i can strip for all the bits i need .

i have found a contact willing to let me have a loom, ecu's ,and maf. if that opens up more options

Please email me on
pete.cort@btinternet.com
or PM me here
Many thanks in advance
Pete

Is it to go in a Volvo or a Renault 5? Always wondered what a b18ft powered 5 would be like. It would also be worth asking the Volvo 480 forum (not sure what it is called)

volvo 480 club europe

this has been done several times successfully go opn and do a search also place an add for the engine there as well.

Yeh it's for a R5 gt turbo Raider
It's such an easy swap even the engine mounts are the same !
Hence why I'm going to do it
Electrics are a bit of a challenge but nothing out of the ordinary

Still looking ..…

I have a B18FT that I may be persuaded to part with.

Full engine, all ancillaries, fuel rail, etc.
Currently attatched to an auto 'box.
Can't remember now, but mileage was about 80k when removed from a 440 Turbo.

Let me know if you're interested.

I've not long finished this conversion(into a Mk1 clio) , had help with my wiring but now I've seen it done its easy and if you need any help if your on Facebook add me and drop me a message.
I do need a new boost ecu tho as where I've mounted mine it took on water and ****ed it up :( borrowed one off the person who did my wiring for the time being)
Like I said if you need a hand find me on fb (Martin Walker and I've got a matt black Mk1 clio as my cover photo) or email me Martin_walker_1983@hotmail.com

It's a right bunch of smiles and well worth doing the conversion

Hi mate, what turbo dud you use or did you just stay with the original? I've got a t25 from a saab but I believe I need bigger injectors, any idea what injectors to use?

You can use 940 turbo injectors iirc
