Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 how much work was involeved in swapping that into your wagon? do you know if can be done in the older wagons or hatchs It took a lot of effort and time... It started long time ago, and the work is still in progress... First you need a XT6 Donor... I got a Loyale almost identical to my Daily Runner, (The White Weberized EA82) it was in very very bad condition, just FWD, burnt engine, electrical stuff, etc... and I brought just as a "Parts Car" for the white one... Then A friend`s XT6 got hit from behind and almost destroyed it`s back... My friend gave me some parts of it Then, in the beginning, it was almost a nightmare to fit the ER27 on a Loyale, but it can be done... I think it can be done in your hatch too... A lot of Effort, work, patience you`ll need. Mine is a "Still Project Car" due to the fact that I still can`t fix the Overheatin` Issue. The Radiator doesn`t fit, so I put on a pair of some sort of small radiators, interconnected with electric fan... at one side of the engine... it overheats if I drive it hard... Also, I need to upgrade brakes... due to the extra weight, the stock ones aren`t enough... also due to increased speed So, I use almost everyday the white one -Weberized EA82- and the Yellow one is on the Island, at my Dad`s House... I use it on Weekend short trips... Is very nice but unfinished yet... Also, I can`t put a turbo on it yet, due to the overheatin` issue, and to put a turbo on it, we need the Pistons of the EA82T and a whole lot of other small / Big things to do... it`s a Nightmare for now... and I don`t have enough money... So I`ll leave it as is right now, it runs, maybe someday I finnish my Project... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * If your EA81 Runs very Good, -specially with the Weber- Just change the Oil at adecuate intervals, with the best oil you can find (I Personally Use "MOTUL" Brand SAE 20W50 `cos its Mineral -Non Petroleum- Base) The Oil / Air Filter, the Gearbox / Diff. Oil (85W90 GL-5) tune it up, change spark plugs, and That`s It! It`s Done! Nice Car you Got, I Like it... Could you Post Pics of it Here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
