just got a 850 turbo in for scrap

[stevenb]

where i work we just got a 850 turbo in for scrap. it doesnt say t5 but opened the bonnet it has 20 valve turbo engine but looks different to mine as the turbo is a lot more accessible and i was wondering if the engine turbo etc is the same or did they do another version with different engine. This car runs sweet as a nut and has an excellent 5 speed box its a 1994 wityh 138000 miles. Mine is a 1996 with the newer obd2 plug and different switches inside the car. Any advice much appreciated as if the the engines the same i will remove and rebuild it for my car.
If anyone needs any bits let me know as i will remove any bits anyone wants and sell very very cheap but be quick as the car must be crushed soon. THe car is burgandy with all good panels and the old type abs module with no tracs but works fine and has no air con

The earlier cars were only refered to as turbo, not T5... I'll have the intercooler piping if it's up for grabs...

[stevenb]

not a problem mate i am starting to strip it tomorrow will let you know when its off and if you pay the p+p its yours

[Tomcat]

Cheers, does it look like this one below?, i.e. where the pipe goes across the top of the engine rather than around the side?.

[stevenb]

yes thats the one.
Do you know if i can fit my air con to this none air con engine. Im guessing i can but confirmation would be nice. Also let me know do you want just the rubber hoses or all the intercooler pipework

[Tomcat]

All of it please. What are you wanting to do fit the engine out of it into your car? If so then yes you can, all you need to do is swap the compressor over onto the engine and use the longer driver belt.

[stevenb]

yes i was gonna do the usual like forge blanking plate replace pcv and all belts. I was thinking of rebuild but it runs so good i might just replace all seals gaskets etc that usually fail then put into my car and when funds allow rebuild my old engine with performance crank conrods pistons etc etc then see what bhp it pushes out. The good thing being car wont be off the road for any length of time so i can take my time save the cash and buy the best parts.

What wheels does it have on it? If any :)

Looking for some cheap 17's

If it's running well and the PCV doesn't need changing then just throw it in and run it for the time being. These engines will go for a loooong time if they're well looked after.

[stevenb]

standard 16s but im gonna get them refurbed and painted the same colour as the wheels on the r and the nice previous owner put 4 brand new tyres on to scrap it which saves me a couple of hundred quid

[stevenb]

very nice walter im impressed

[Tomcat]

Oooo Eeeek!, caught out Copyright infringment!!!..

[walter leever]

Oooo Eeeek!, caught out Copyright infringment!!!..

Well i supose i could let you off with a warning this time:P

[stevenb]

i could throw it in but i thought if i done all the things like pcv maybe crankshaft oil seal and check things like clutch wear and replace while engines sitting on a pallet its a lot easier and it gives me peace of mind cos im looking at taking maybe a year to rebuild my old motor cos i want to get the best bits but aint got the cash to do it all at once

[Tomcat]

Fankyou very much....:biggrin:

It seems we all suffer from the same problem:slap:

so you want to built an high output engine(conrods,pistons the lot?)
