FAO: 2.0L 8v converters - anyone got a pic of their plumbed in block-to-breather?

LOL at that.
i.a.n.b im sure you know you're stuff but if you need an extra pair of hands fitting the 2.0 let me know. its rather addictive and i dont in the slightest mind helping a fellow dubber out if im in not abroad on work.

 

Cheers chap, may give you a shout, fitting it at my cousins workshop which is in Daventry if all goes to plan so I'll let you know when I'm over.

 

oh yeah i remember you telling me about your cousins place when i came to get an ecu i think off you at work, the one on the left in Drayton fields ind. estate? im less than a mile down the road so deffo give me a shout if you need.

 

theres going to be a fair few hands helping out with that engine conversion then!! Should have t done in a couple of hours! The paint wont even have dried in the bay!

 

Yea thats the one, myself and nealey are doing the engine and hes going to refurb the engine bay for me inbetween.

Yep and I can't wait to crack on.

 

i left a couple of inches or so of the standard non-flexi plastic hose that comes out of the block breather housing, then sleeved over that with some large pipe, which i then connected to a plastic T-piece, and plumed into the hose connecting to the UFO thingy. I went to an industrial hosing specialist opposite where i work, showed him what i needed to plumb into where, and he was very helpful, and sorted it for me.
i'll try and get some pics

 

I'm liking what you did there Rubjonny. Looks very neat the way it's routed round the front of the block.

 

Sorted mine today, cut and shut 2e breathers with a small length of hose inbetween, 2e ufo on top. Easy and looks very oem.

 

looks like it ready to drop in ian. good one

 

hi guys,
am new to this conversion, i am doing a 2e at the min just got the lump to put back in i am using the mk3 2e cam cover which has the oil cap and breather ufo the opposite way round to the pb so using the standard 2e plastic pipe from the block which takes it to cam side where its needed for the mk3 rocker cover and am using the mk3 ufo whch has 2 outlets on it so only small amount of alteration will post some pics when its in so you can see it lads

cheers adam

 

ive got a 2e block that i want plumb into my pb head. i was wondering would i be better off installing a catch tank as well...something like this:

also, how do you attach the hose into the 2e crankcase breather? do you just push a rubber hose in thatll make a snug fit?! what hose sizes will i be needing to successfully plumb this all in can anyone tell me?
cheers

 

awesome, would the dealers be the only place i could get this from?

 

how necessary is installing a catch tank? i was thinking of trying to install something like this:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350178327417

but it stands 160mm tall with connections! thats alot of catch tank to find a space for under the bonnet......looking in this thread most people have just plumbed it straight into the rocker cover breather! advice please guys....not sure how to play it!!!!!
cheers

 

hmm, the thing is if i was to install one id want to find one much shorter than 16cm!! do you know somewhere you can get smaller catch tanks from...im not sure what the smallest size is!!
can anyone roughly tell me how often they have to clean out their throttle body? e.g once every 10k miles etc.... and when you say clean, is that just pulling off the air intake pipe and giving the area in front of the butterflys a good old clean?
