Re: Complete pinto turbo setup

Would you swap the intercooler for a bigger front mount one?

I have a 2.8 turbo, and the intercooler I bought is a bit too big, and i can't squeeze it in with the fuel distributor etc...

WANTED 2.8i fuel tank.

As title.......

Is anyone selling a 2.8i tank that isn't leaking?

I stripped the underseal off my tank and it seems the underseal was what was keeping everything inside, and it's now like a collander!

I'm in Salisbury, so collection within 50 miles or so/postage.

TIA

2.8 Turbo technics exhaust.

Does anyone happen to have the pipe that links the manifolds for the 2.8 TT system?

Also the down pipe would be handy if anyone has got that too....the only 2 pieces i'm missing from my turbo puzzle

Been quoted £500 to get it made up, and that just ain't in the budget.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Turbo Technics Parts

I bought the complete engine, but it only has the standard vac capsule on it, and the pipe is rusted out unfortunately. Many thanks for that link though, just spoke to him and even though he couldn't help with parts, he was more than happy to supply me with info, and all the things I needed to know....

Thanks in advance.

Re: Capri 2.8i water getting into the oil

I've just had this problem, I found that the timing case wasn't sat properly, as the gasket was folded. But you could be facing the coolant jacket being corroded.

Re: Checking Exhaust Manifold Leaks

And a land rover viscous and fan will fit on a 2.8 (unsure of pinto) and it gives an extra 2" on the diameter, meaning better cooling.

Re: Checking Exhaust Manifold Leaks

Its a piece of piss, 27mm fan spanner on the back, 10mm on the front, and its left hand thread for the 27mm.


Putting it back on just put it hand tight and the engine spins it tight.
