Hey.
Thought I'd post my thread on how to insert a 95 '2.5 td engine in a 96' 2.5 V6. Both manual gearbox.

The faithful v6 started getting tired. (blown head gasket) and my patience to gasoline consumption ended.

So I decided to go over to Sweden and buy a parts car with diesel engine.

So here are some pictures during conversion.

This is the parts car i got in sweden.




Finely got it out 

Mine poor 2.5v6 soon to bee ready for a hart transplant 

Disassembly.

Motor brackets to the V6 is not the same as the R6
So then I thought to use the traverse from the party car.
But it was so rusty that I cut the engine mounts to the R6 and welded on the V6 traverse
A little extra work. but I am more satisfied afterwards.
This is the unwashed v6 traverse.

Nice and clean traverse with motor mounts very soon to be welded. You can see where the old mounts have been

The diesel engine has "drive by wire" throttle.
so when I cut up the wiring on the part car. so I got the plug from the electronic accelerator pedal. (5 wires)
that leaves us only 4 wires that I'm not quite sure where to yet.
I have not seen so much on it yet either then: P
The "new" throttle pedal assembly is installed and ready.


The plan to day is get the engine installed

To be continued ...

what? :p

How did U come to the conclusion head gasket on your v6

[Pera]

Oh that's what you meant.
Not sure that's the problem.
But the cooling water disappeared and the car went on 5 cylinders when acceleration.
Maybe I'm wrong.
But I also had to replace timing belt if I should keep it.
And I've had problems with a slight knocking sound (between 2500-3000rpm) and the lack of effect, which comes and goes.
I must admit that I was tired of this engine.
With gasoline at 1.75 GBP per liter is 2.5 v6 particularly economical to run with.
Also, I really want a diesel (1.42 GBP per liter)
With BSR chip about 170 hp;)

Besides having fun with some new challenge

Will the engine be able for the chip as I am thinking of doing mine??

[Pera]

There should be no problems with chip tuning
