Sorry if this has been asked already but can you use inlet and exhaust from a AJT 2.5 tdi?

Cheers, mike

I believe so, check the 90 page mega thread it definatly been stated in there.

I'm away from home and having to Pay for wifi so not got much search time. Was looking at an exhaust mani and turbo from a AJT which is on my route home...

 

[Matt T4]

AJT fits a treat, same as ACV.
Manifolds are a challenge to get off then another challenge to get back on!
3" extension on rachet was the only way possible, strangely I liked the challenge, and remember Plusgas is your friend!!! Used two cans of the stuff and had no stuck bolts!

 

[mikeT485]

Thanks matt, does that include the AJT inlet too?

Thanks again

Thanks again

Inlet off an AJT will be stamped ACV as they are identical.

Out of interest for a new project, whats the max bhp you guys are getting ?

Think jont4 is up around 160 bhp mine is about 100 but needs a bit more work to get more but I have gained about 80 foot of torqu

Interesting thanks.

Do you know what he did apart from turbo to get that ?

I did my conversion a couple of weeks ago and have a couple of suggestions for Matt T4 and XSwind.
Matt T4 - Use an intake pipe from an ACV to connect the filter box to the turbo and you can then connect the breather to it with about a metre of 22mm silicone pipe. it looks just like a standard fitting when done.
XSwind - I put the exhaust manifold on and then the whole turbo. if i was doing it again i might split the turbo, fit the short turbo manifold to the exhaust pipe, before i fitted the rest of the turbo. You would then be able to get at those horrible exhaust clips from above. then fit the turbo on the exhaust manifold and put the four bolts back in to connect the turbo up. T:

He has a -
Volvo V70 Exhaust Manifold & K14 2267 Turbo (ACV Turbo is only a K14 2060)
Matched ports on head and manifolds
Lower Compression ( arround 20 :1 i think ) using two 1.3mm headgaskets
Modified Injection Pump (LDA Fitted)
2.5" Exhaust
FMIC Intercooler



i could wind the power up on mine but it will smoke like hell without the LDA fiited off boost , so i'm happy with the current power until i get the New Injection pump fitted.

i'm running 22:1 Compression same spec as the old D24TIC Engine which was 140bhp as standard

I have the pipe on the way, already using tdi air inlet pipe just need to link it up.

I had a right struggle to get the dreaded c clamps back on exhaust and thought about splitting turbo but it was too late by then as I'd fitted it complete. You just need spagetti arms!

Hopefully mine will be +90bhp just with turbo??? Got the bug now so intercooler next I:

this only works if you have the later airbox with square panel, mine the early cylinder shape and the position too far out to get the ACV intake pipe in...

 

[Brookster]

I have a spare Later Model Square Air box c/w a Green Performace filter Panel going spare if anybody needs it T:

I seen some Custom Turbo Flanges with 2 1/2" down pipe somewhere that would be a great conversion

Hi Brookster,

Could you tell me what you want for the air filter box, as I'm getting the bits together to do the Turbo conversion as well.

Ta - Nindy

 

[Matt T4]

Finished pic of mine

Just love driving it and hearing the turbo spooling away.

 

[nind]

Looks very neat !

Can we have some pics of how you connected the air filter box pls and will the 2.4d dip stick be ok to use in the 2.5 tdi dipstick tube?

Also some pics of all how the hoses are connected.

Sorry for the requests

T:T:T:T:T:T:

Very nice.

Mines started, taken almost 2 hours to get all but 1 inlet manifold bolt out, grrrrrrr ff ing horrid job

There is almost zero space/clearance on mine as mine has a fully fitted vegi oil conversion: so have teed off pipes, heated filter, heat exchanger and switching valves all getting in the way and scraping every last bit of skins from my for arms ;-(

Tomorrows a day of to fully focus on the right royal pain in the job.

Rant Time.

So called German engineering, NOT, they must have been of a heavy one to Amsterdam prior to designing that inlet manifold, FFS it would have been so easy.

On mine I have 4 holes strategically positioned above just 4 of the inlet manifold bolts.
These holes are 8mm in size, why not dill holes above every inlet bolt and make them big enough to use.

Expected more :*

 

[Rake]

You always do expect more big nose

German design doesn't always mean easy. It's more about how well it works lol

 

[xswind]

lol mr Rake

So the manifolds came of so easily this morning andly 10 mins work and they were both offski

Next removed the oil cooler plug only to find its a bloomin 16mm one, I have two hoses and both are the 12mm versions.
Off to "Pipe and Threads" and they are going to modify my turbo oil hose and replace the 12mm banjo end with a 16mm version.
1 new banjo and two sealing rings and it should be a goer.

Been told they will have it done this afternoon.
I am now offski to tackle the dipstick next, fingers crossed.

 

[xswind]

*** HELP***

So hit another snag, the hose cant be modified now I am told.

Any idea how I can fix this problem.

Oil cooler has a 16mm plug and all my hoses are 12mm banjos, what can I do?

A VW Parts order I guess, are there such things as adaptors or reducers?
