Wanting to put a v3/4 manifold on a version 2 block and reuse sensors?

[tydon]

Its probably been covered her somewhere but i cant find it.

So what im wanting to do is change the intake manifold to v3/4 so i can run a straight inlet turbo and mount wastespark.

I know the manifold will bolt up fine to the block.

But will the sensors?

ICV im sure are diffrent so that wont work. what if i was to use v3/4 ICV?

Throttlebody im sure i can direct bolt the v2 one to the version 3/4 but because the throttle cable runs on oppistite side will have mount it upside down. have heard it may foul though and a spacer is required for throttlebody?

anyone been down this road before?

im sure people are gunna say why do it lol but hey haha

why not upgrade to better coil on plug ? the bh + coils stand up to everything much better and there pretty simple to change.

doesn\'t help for the strait inlet tho :-\

whats that involve ?

if i was to use v3/4 manifold and just use the v3/4 sensors ICV and TPS would it cause the ecu troubles? would have to rewire TPS but have seen thats been done here before

just there 3 wire so splice the power and signal and the third cable just needs to be earthed to the bolt that holds the coil in with a lug.

so you just need the coils with plugs.

i couldn\'t answer ya question about using v3/4 gear on v 1/2 manifold

The TPS for v3-4 has one less wire than the v1-2 which is an idle switch. The car will run fine without it, but will throw CEL while you are idling. Depending on which power steering setup you are running you may need to change that, but just about everything else is bolt on and go. I wouldn\'t bother with wasted spark setup though, just use coil on plug

so i could use the v3/4 ICV with the v2 setup? and the ecu wont throw a hissy
