I just finished my 1a to 1b swap, things to remember are: Use the 1a inlet manifold/throttlebody unless you want to solder 1b injector conectors on then use the 1a injectors(i just soldered the later connectors to the 1a loom-10 mins work) The TPS plug has to types, check which is on your existing l...

Hi folks, I have the fuel tank off my car at the mo and before i put it back on tomorrow i want to tidy up the small rusty bits on it, i think i remember reading somewhere that you should not paint fuel tanks??, dont know if thats right or not, cant think why you cant but i thought i would ask. I ha...

i think i have a good earth to the engine, everything seems to work except for it not running?

I am using jump leads on it at the mo, so hopefully the charge is good, will set the cams to tdc and the try the dizzy, i will check the spark to and also wether the fuel is present.

Any tips on testing if the injectors are firing?

Ok, so it seems i may have counted a little fast which means it has not stored any error code, i will try to refit the didtributer, do i need it at tdc in order to remove then refitt it or can i just take it of and refit it..... or should i just be adjusting it a little every time i try to start it....

Hi guys, I am wondering if anyone can help me start my car after its engine swap. It is turning over fine but does not start, prtty sur ethe fuel is getting there as i had a leak at the filter which is now fixed, Any procedures that you could suggest for sorting this out. I have bridged T and E1 in ...

I thank you for it mate, i re read it all before i went out and that was the first thing i checked so many thanks, i owe you a beer at a show or somthing

indeed one is much longer, they do however fit in either side and the drive shafts do still fit on....teach me to take things a little slower!!

I am such a fecking tit! :oops: ...i recently posted about a gearbox/driveshaft problem i had with my mk1, the whole thing was locking up when i fitted the output shafts I went out today with the sole intention of fixing this problem :? .........took me 10 minutes \:D/ Turns out i had put the output...

My location was definately there this morning ...i didn't change it, you must be like me in the mornings....

I have solved this problem now...see my other thread

The right hand mount is completley different, i have just put a 1b engine into my 1a and i found out all to late :mad: In the end i just chopped off a little of the 1b mount to make it narrow enough to fit the 1a. It also is a flat plate where it attaches to the engine hanger where as the 1a has a r...

Location is as it states in in my posts box next to this post :D I have just replaced the seal :thumleft: The main query is are the output shaft different between the 1a and 1b box as i have a 1b box with 1a output shafts and it was a bu88er to fit the short one! seems like it was too long to me.......

the rings are still on the shaft as they should be, i have 1a shafts on the car with 1a outer cv joints. are the driveshafts different lengths at all as i had a right job in fitting the short driveshaft, it seemed stupidly tight!! if i buy a set of 1b shafts then i should be able to put the 1a cv jo...

Hi folks, I am now at my wits end with this f***ing car! Basically i have a 1a with a 1b gearbox/engine, my driveshafts are from the 1a. I have go to the stage of fitting them and when i tap the output shafts into place the bloody things wont turn, it feels like the car is in gear(It's definately no...

Ok so i filled up my gearbox with nice new oil today and then sat in a depresed state as i watched it drip out of the output shaft oil seal. My question is: whats the easiest way to change it, driveshaft of at the out put shaft and the knock the output shaft out....thats the easy part, whats the bes...

I am gonna have another look today but i am pretty sure it id missing!
