Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 HATCHY said: 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...
