Xu10J2Te Turbo Swap

[tommy gun 6]

I'm going to be swapping the turbo soon to a cosworth t34 and just wondered if it's as simple as extending to oil and water feeds and returns.

Obviously I will be using a different manifold, it's like a dp version where the turbo is positioned on top of the engine.

you'll need a different ecu most likely, unless you dont plan on running much boost, still needs mapping regardless.

 

why such an old turbo though?

 

I doubt that'll work particularly well on an 8v when it was made for a higher revving 16v of the same capacity.

Not to worry about the above,question was related to oil and water feed and return

Yes you will need to sort all the pipework, oil feed and drain, water, boost and air inlet.

 

I wouldn't call it a simple job and I've done a few turbo 205's, and I've machines and a tig welder to hand.

 

All you can really do is offer it up then measure and make what is needed.
