i was just wondering if there is a difference in the accessories mounting holes on the 9000 2.3T block. i know that the a/c unit is mounted where the power steering pump normally goes on 9000 blocks. is it just a bracket that changes the position or is the block holes actually in different places.

just use the whole 9000 engine u will be much happier and it will be easier.

i would but the guy want to charge me more for the accessories than the engine itself.

to fit a 9000 engine to your car you will need to strip it right down to just the crank case with the head on, every thing else is differant, so all your ansilleries, including the timing chain cover and sump will need to be swopped over


edit: depending on the age of your car the head could also be differant where the inlet manifold bolts to it

i am also talking about useing the hole motor but the timing cover and the sump pan are differant so need to be swopped

Seems more spacious under there b/c of the brake equipment on the near firewall. Is that a rhd thing I guess? I never noticed the difference in Haynes.


BTW, doesn't Nordic have a 380 or 390 hp stage 6 option? Not like I'd refuse to drive a 900 w/ a paltry 300 hp, though.:cheesy:

What about the transmission? Will a 9-3 gearbox bolt on to this engine?

yes as long as you use a 9000 engine from 94 on its ecentually the same engine as the ng900/93

 

[rktek]

is there a 6-speed manual gearbox that would fit?

 

[ricot83]
