Well that would mean no timing signal, wrong shafts, wrong gear linkage, wrong mountings, wrong size (possibly, since the pg1 does look longer), oo that's enough things to fix. On the flip side, once I sort the flywheel t to zt box everything else is easy... |

He's probably talking about the plethora of zr / zs conversions. With a cat I don't see you having a problem. Don't forget, the t series were still being used when the 75 came out.
With regards to gearbox, if you used a pg1 there's the problem of drive shafts and gear linkages not fitting. You could get a flywheel made and sweat the ring gear on like standard but you'll not get the trigger pattern used from factory.

Which is what my Rover 75 has. Or are you fitting the Rover T16 Turbo?

If you are using the Rover T16 Turbo engine then this is a good read on gearbox etc.

I would have thought that the title of the thread would have told you that. Are you going to give me the courtesy of a reply to the question that I asked you, or should I just rubbish your opinion as you did to me?

But you can still fit the T16 engine and it still doesn't make any difference to emissions so long as cats etc are fitted. As it has 197bhp as standard it will fly. But if you think I should apologise then I will, I'm sorry. However I wouldn't bother with a Rover engine, I would go down the Honda route but that's a whole new track to take.

Calm down now....
It doesn't take much time to read less than a dozen posts, but I suppose its easier just to type... Anyway, from the top, I have all the bits, except the starter, yes I could look for a honda to turbo, but why? If I wasafter changing engine maker I would go for a vw 4 pot, which the yoofs are boosting to silly numbers very successfully, but it wouldn't bolt up t o my box, and the insurance man would be rubbing his hands ( as he would with a honda). So stop suggesting alternatives, and winding each other up Oh, also, I won't need a bloomin cat, except for the casings, lpg you see guv... |
