[urq] MC-2 Conversion Update

Sounds like you are getting closer...? Are you using the?


mac11?or the mac02 box?? If the?mac11 you need the IAT from the MC, it's different than the mac02.? Either way, use the boss already in the front of the?MC intake, drill and attach, like 10 minutes.


?


WRT to the oil cooler, I'd use the MC if at all possible, or just go for a aftermarket.? You can't use the water cooled turbo?lines to the dual filter boss anyhow.? On my last k24 swap into an 83 WX, I used the MC single oil filter boss, lines and oil cooler.? You might have to bend the lines around a bit to get it to fit the same spot, but it's really-really close using just the stock MC stuff, btdt.


?


WRT intake plumbing, if you use the stock IC, you only need to change the igloo to turbo routing.? I'm pretty sure the IC to tbody hose should snake ok, esp if you are using the WX alt and A/C mounts.? 


?


The vacuum hose routings should be easy enough.? Either get the sticker for a MC engine, or route the rogue?vacuum hoses behind the firewall and come back out with what you need.? IIRC, just about everything on the MC is also on the WX vacuum-wise except the ISV, just located in a different position.? The key for CA emissions will be the PCV and the gas tank vapor system, both of which are almost identical on the two motors.

Hopefully DA222 has the engine out ... so we know what got screwed up with the   clutch ... I'll check by later today.  I have a line on a flywheel in Ohio,   still hoping to find something local.      I think I've got the wiring interconnections to make the engine run figured out   ... there are only a handful of connections that need to be made ... and that   will even make the ISV functional.      I have the fuel distributor plate from the MC bolted on to the WX airbox cover.    The igloo fits right over the MC-2's airflow sensor funnel just fine.  I haven't   spent much time figuring out the fuel plumbing, but since the fuel distributor   seems to have the same fittings in the same locations, worst case I can swap the   WX lines onto the MC FD.      Since I'm using the MC's intake manifold and the urq intercooler I'll need to   find a place to attach the intake air temp sensor.  Anyone have any   recommendations?  I have an intercooler that came from an urS6 which looks   similar in size to the WX ... and it appears to have a port for the temp sensor.    I think I'll take it along just to try it out.      I'm having secong thoughts on the oil cooler.  The MC has different attachments,   so I'm thinking it might be better to try to mount the MC cooler in the WX   location.  Any BTDT on whether or not it makes sense to try to mix and match?    Probably the biggest outstanding item is the intake plumbing.  What will I use   to connect the outlet of the intercooler to the throttle body?  How am I going   to plumb all the vacuum lines for all the functions that need them ... ISV,   WGFV, Crankacse Vent, vapor recovery, etc?  I found a drawing in the 200 manual   and one in the IST and will see what I can noodle from them.  Here again the   goal is to make it look like the drawing on the hood ...     Steve B  San Jose, CA (USA)
