Fans are switched so on all the time do I match the gauge to the rrc sensor then? Don't have old sensor as engine gone now so I'll just have to either get gauge or sensor but not sure which one? There is a slight kink in the bottom hose where it doesn't quite fit right could this cause high...

Hi am in need of the following for conversion which was a 2.5 n/a to 3.9 v8 efi located in Hampshire but can collect: V8 temp gauge V8 gearbox cross member V8 engine mounts for chassis V8 radiator & coolant hoses Ideally someone breaking a v8 90/110 which is normally unheard of...

Hi there, have just fitted v8 into my 90 and not ever have owned a v8 have a couple of questions: 1) the v8 seems to get very hot very quick I'm currently using the old diesel rad with 2 8 inch fans do I need to use a v8 rad as rrc rad doesn't fit width wise? 2) temp gauge goes to just...

You guys were right again tried fitting rod with clip for ages but just gave up in the end and fitted rod without clip and she works fine I now have a clutch so no need to split box and engine..........,result! Fitted fans today used 2 Honda civic fans that run really well......however does the...

Top thread Landy looks awesome too proper job!!!!

Ok cool I shall have a go tomorrow and will let you know how I get on very near the point of booking MOT :)

Oh ok so I should be able to refit the rod as is without splitting ill give it a go thanks james

Got her running just had leads in wrong order so all is well had problem with the clutch as I used the existing slave cylinder from when it was diesel is this ok to do? Went to drive her and clutch did nothing after I bled it 3 times took slave cylinder out from bell housing and the rod to the...

I've also got exactly this problem as y piece hits gearbox mount and goes through where cross member would be will keep a look out to see what the fix is

Go v8 all the way

Hi guys, havnt been on here for a while so thought id post a picture of further progress. Very nearly got her running this afternoon but came across a problem i cant quite diagnose. Obviously used to be a diesel so flushed the tank twice with petrol drained and replaced and same again...

Go v8instead loads more fun

Thats the one for another couple of quid i can have a new one now i have the part number so thanks for that. Just need to locate some flexi hose to go from that to the port on the Snorkel from the AFM. Cheers guys!

Guys where can I get hold of new pipe that joins plenum to air flow meter? Do they do a metal one as an elbow?

Dom it sounds like you might have earth issues still as this happened to me before I connected the efi loom earth leads. How many leads do you have on the block of the v8 as dedicated earths? Does the remaining black wire have a tab or a bare end on it? Have you tested it for voltage if nothing...

Hi Dom, Hopefully i can be of some help even though James's advice on here has helped me hugely, i know how frustrating it is when all you want it to do is fire up! Here is a list of all the connections i have made, bear in mind that these are all new connections and the only existing...

Just put a wire from + coil to switched + ignition and bam she fired straight up will dress all wires in properly take some photos and will make a write up of it to continue the conversion Thanks James

Yea it's got the 2 for amplifier and the single one near maf do I need to put in a live from ignition or starter to the + then?

James you are a star I found 2 black wires on there own in plastic conduit with bare ends attached them to the head and bam main relay clicks and fuel pump relay clicks fuel pump runs when cranking then fuel relay clicks 4 secs later can't believe how 2 wires make a huge difference still have no...

Ahh I wonder where these are then? I only have engine loom from rrc will this still have the black wires then? I know I'm sounding really stupid James but struggling big time, is it these wires from the loom that provides the earth to the ecu circuit?
