Omega General Help / Newbie here, a project question!

« on: 08 September 2007, 09:06:01 »

hi all

ive just joined and i have a question about a project.

I have a 98 3.0 V6 elite which you could say is a bit tired in the engine department , the bottom end is knocking there is a water leak from a crack in the block and oil leaking from most places lol.she is an elite tho and the spec as you all know, is awesome, she even has the carin sat nav and original cd changer, cream leather and all the rest

anyway, i also have a 2.5TD with a superb engine and rubbish interior and bodywork.

i would like to have my elite with the diesel engine!!! i have looked around for an elite TD but to no avail and i have done loads of work to the V6 (brakes, suspension, tyres etc) so it would be a shame to give that up. Problem is, the V6 is an auto and the TD is a manual and i want to keep the auto!!  I am lucky to have a VERY good breakers yard and motor factors about 10 minutes away so extra bits is no problem. i realize this is a lot of work and i am doing all the research i can before i start, has anyone done this or know anything that will help me along? i will be taking photos throughout and maybe post at the end if anyone is intrested. any info would be very much appreciated.

Many Thanks In advance.

Nick

General Discussion Area / 3.0 V6 to 2.5 TD conversion! We have started!

« on: 16 September 2007, 18:11:33 »

Hi all, this thread will follow the progress of the conversion of a 3.0 V6 Elite to a 2.5 TD.

The donor car was aquired last friday (07 09 2007)

Here they are, on the drive.......



The strip down has begun on the TD and so far the exhaust, radiator and engine to gearbox bolts are out and the engine lift out is planned for Saturday. Fuel tank and lines are coming off tommorow (Monday 17TH)



The quest continues for a wiring loom from a 2.5 TD auto and a Torque converter.
Updates will appear as the project moves along.
