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. |
