moo4AGZETA22 Regular Location: Tasmania Registered: April 2003	Re: TA22 Engine Conversion Questions Thu, 09 October 2003 05:58 I've done this conjversion, so here goes:- 1. Get your engine 2. Get a Sprinter T50. Oz spec ones have clutch fork on passenger side. Get a Jap one if you can. Get the bearing that goes in the gearbox. Cut the floor so the shifter will go through. 3. I used Sprinter engine mounts, and the standard engine mounts 4. The standard mounts will have to be cut of the cross member, and cut till they line up to the Sprinter engine mounts and the cross member. Engine was in and out 6 or seven times for this 5. I have a AW11 4AGZE, and they have the heater outlet pointing straight out of the back of the head. It's about 15cm long. We had it cut, with the outlet now facing straight up. This enabled us to sit the engine further back, but still with the ability to replace the hose at the back without removing the engine. 6. The thermostat sits near the supercharger. I used the FWD thermostat. 7. Radiator outlets are on the opposite side. Either have them switched over, or run some hoses across the front of the engine to the standard radiator outlets. I would get the hoses switched over, and get it rebuilt if you want a better set-up. 8. Get the tailshaft shortened 9. Get a nice big exhaust fitted. I collect my car from the exhaust shop on Saturday, with a nice 2.5" mandrel bent system with a muffler and resonator. Get your intercooler piping done now as well (If your going to run a front mount). I'm using a GT4 air-to-air intercooler front mounted. 10. Do your fule system. I'm just running a VL external fuel pump. If I suffer fuel starvation, then I'll get some baffles put in the fuel tank. 11. Wire the computer. I'm using the factory ECU. It hasn't been wired yrt though (Tassie Toymods guys, who's good???) 12. Hook up a boost gauge if you want. I have used the clock as my gauge "holder". A little bit of file work and it fits nicely. 13. Cry with frustration as the expenses keep mounting, and the money runs out. 14. Replace all of the hoses and the timing belt. 15. Put a Big pulley on . Replace the key whilst you're at it. I wouldn't want to pay anyone to do all of that, because I imagine that it would be quite expensive. You'll also need a mechanic brother, and a welder uncle who will let you do the work at their place. If you can't/won't do the work yourself, then I suggest you buy one that has already been converted. Put some good suspension in. Brakes will be up to your local transport authority, as well as the engineering requirement. Have a look at the conversion in the tech section on this site as Oz-craig has highlighted, as well as conversions into Sprinters. For $$$ for a wokshop, look at Sprinter conversions and add the costs of tailshaft and engine mount mods.I know this post is long, but the engine doesn't just magically fit in.
