440 Si conversion to 440 Turbo - Page 2

Didn't have aircon did it Simon? No idea which 400s did and didn't, though memory says it's about as rare is it was in the 300! I'm after an AC pump bracket for that block.

It does Chris, it's near the battery is the aircon on the picture i attached on the first page. Don't think i've the attatchments for it on the turbo engine so your more than welcome to it all but it needs regassing does the cylinder or do you just want the bracket?

Interesting project...

Will be good to watch this one take shape....

Good to see another turbo been created... plenty have given their heart to the Renault fans...

Check your turbo block Simon, there is every chance you can swap the brackets over if you want to keep it, the blocks are effectively the same and I'd be surprised if you didn't have it!

Bracket is my main want if you do get rid of it, though pump would be useful if postage isn't ridiculous! I'm fitting it to a 340 with a Clio engine, same block again.

I'll be watching the project, hopefully it won't be too difficult.

No i don't use it anyway Chris your welcome to it. I'll weigh it and let you know the postage cost on saturday. Thanks 244T and your right, much better in a 440 bay rather than a renault!

Hi Chris sorry it's been so long, it weighs 187g and the battery plate it mounts to is 250g. Do you just want the a/c mount or both? Took the rest to weigh in before i seen this message again over the pump

Chris_C · Feb 4th, 2014, 22:12

Hi Simon, would make sense to have both, I know I won't be short a piece then! Thanks for grabbing them, let me know how is easiest to get pennies to you and how many you are after!

Swap going ok or hiding from the weather?

Sorry, Looking to find a better example unfortunately, the old girl needs quite a bit of welding. Might just buy a 440 turbo and keeping a spare engine, i didn't realise the insurance would be so sky high as well when you upgrade or modify a car

But i'm definately not giving up!!
