B23A to B230FT conversion
Hi members,
After a while browsing this forum I have found you all to be very helpful.
So...I am now in a position to ask a few questions, please excuse my lack of certain knowledge and don't hesitate to point me in the right direction.
I have a 1984 240 GLE B23A.
I also have a 1996 940 turbo B230FT.
The 240 is my daily driver and has been somewhat 'rat-rod-ed'! Not to everyones tastes but I love it. Due to a lack of power and poor MPG I decided to start an engine swap.
I purchased a complete 940 turbo as a donor car. I drove this 200 miles home so can attest it's fully working condition.
So far I have pulled the engine and box (auto) from the 940, the wiring looms, ECU's, etc, and other bits from the engine bay.
I hope you will watch this project with interest, though I know I'm not reinventing the wheel by any stretch of the imagination.
I ask kindly for advice on mating the new drivetrain with the aged 240.
What am I going to come up against?
First thoughts are:
- Fuel pumps needed
- Gauge/clocks compatibility
- Speed sensor (diff mounted? My 240 does not have this unlike the 940)
- Custom downpipe/exhaust will be fabricated
- Wiring looms in general
Obviously I will do a full 'stage 0' tune up before starting 'stage 1' mods and the install itself.
All advice appreciated.Thanks, Matt.
