Now then.
Im just in the process of doing an engine swap for a customer in a VW T3 (Vanagon, Transporter, Type 25, whatever).
I am removing a 1.6l TD JX engine and replacing with a 1.9l TD AAZ motor.
Looking at the turbo's they look very similar except for the fact the the housings point in different directions.
To use the AAZ in the T3 I could do with using the JX exhaust manifold as the exit for the turbo is adjacent to number 4 cylinder, the manifold on the AAZ supplied has the exit between 3 and 4.
Does anyone know the specs of the 2 turbos and if they are interchangeable between engines as it would save me some work and the job would b a lot neater if I could just bolt it up rather than mess about welding pieces of exhaust together as in the fuure the customer can just use off the shelf parts, as he intends to use it in Europe quite a bit.
Can anyone see any obious problems I am likely to encounter?
Port shapes etc, I've got bothe engines on the floor, not got very far with stripping them yet!
