I cracked the water pump housing on my T2 pump.I bought a new pump but its just the front section.Will my old SE rear section bolt to the T2 block?I can tee off a coolant line to make the line to the turbo

Yes, you can use the -SE housing! You can also use the pump if you have to.

https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif OK,Thanks alot. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png Time to put this beast together.

if not i see a trip to the junk yard in your future

I had to use the whole thing.The one hole is way off on the SE housing.So I get to use the SE pump for now. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png At least the motor goes in tommorow. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/happy.png Just need to find some way of getting a tranny mount made.Knowone here carries thick enough aluminum to make one. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png

Why aluminium??

Aluminum is a softer metal give some comfort during shifting.If I used steel to make the mount I would feel the car shake at idle then really shake during shifts.

how about somehting like delrin? or plastic?



mike

Wouldn't plastic crack?What is delrin??

or like urethane bushing material?



mike

I might have to try a steel one for awhile with some sort of rubber on either side of the mount.Either way my engine is in the car now.now the wiring mess begins. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png

I used the stock tranny mount, with the holes slotted. No spacer either. Fit perfectly.

It might be an "SE" thing, but I think that's what your project car is.

thats what i would have tried to do https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/dunno.gif

I'm still trying to figure out how you used the stock trans mount https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif or are you talking about the stock crossmember? You can just set the trans on the crosmember and it may look right but you really need a 3/4" spacer to move the trans up to stock location.

Where did you crack the water pump housing at anyways? When I had to drill/tap the coolant sensor hole to 3/8"NPT I think a cracked the housing a little https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blink.png but all I could see was a tiny hairline crack so I'm hoping the 565 loctite will fill the crack https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blush.png

I cracked it taking it off the block to get the front cover off.It was sealed to the block damn good.Oh well I have a SE pump on it and plan on redirecting the BAC coolant line to the turbo instead and do the throttle body mod at the same time. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

The stock manual SE crossmember works with the T2 tranny?I need to know by the weekend.My car didn't have a tranny crossmember on it when I bought it from the wreckers so I have to get one anyways.



Thanks
