Adding a turbo to a 240 with factory slant. Pictures.

Nice work.

It's difficult to tell from the photos, but will you have any issue with clearance around the alternator?

Well I forgot to update this thread as I started a build thread. The 244 D24Tic is now finished with it's engine swap. It is running and driving great. I'm very happy with the results in power. The scavenge pump works great with the TDR. If I where to do this all over again I would try to do it with the D24t pan and have the engine more in the upright position as in the 7xx cars. There is no clearance issues with the alternator. Here are some pictures.

Oh I did not install the oil cooler and remote oil filter as I had room to keep it in the factory location, but I will be adding a oil cooler and or temp gauge to it. Here are some more pictures... I rebuilt a 82 d24t engine and installed into the car after the previous engine kept burning oil. It is std bore and crank, with KS bearings and Deves rings, ARP head studs, gasket matched and polished runners on cylinder head, intake gasket matched and polished runners, rear cap on intake welded up ( I blew off the rubber cap at around 25psi). I only have 200 miles on this fresh engine, It's great not having to add 1 qt oil every 50 miles!

Very nice... Sounds alot like my build, even down to the deves rings... Did you do a NA cam?

As i know there is no difference between NA and Turbo engines camshaft.

Any info ?

I used the D24T cam. I didn't even think about putting the D24 cam in, I just wanted it to be running ( I was hoping to get it done for the swedish car show but did not make it

)

Still have this car?

How is it running?

Anything you would do differently?

Any videos or comparisons to other vehicles? (can you keep up with traffic?

)

Yep I still have the car. It's my daily driver with 16000 miles since adding the turbo. I don't have any videos of it, yet.. The car runs good, I need to rebuild the head since it was barely in spec as far as valve seating surface being to large and the guides being worn.. I'm currently building another engine to drop in.
I think I would only change the turbo drain configuration. There's a member on here that had "grafted" a d24t drain onto a d24 pan that looked great. I think the members user name is Eli. The car has more then enough power to keep up with traffic, it's faster then my e36 318 BMW. Not saying much but it gets better mileage and is faster then b18 powered Honda.
