Re: 1990 Singlecab II

I never got to it, I was hoping the knowledge would come to the thread from the elders, as you are. It needs resolving but it'll take time if it's trial & error, that's my ethos anyway. The elder* in this case being Stanley Evans (aka AngeloEvs).

* A compliment for being wise.

Re: 1990 Singlecab II

I really enjoyed this build; bringing things back to life is very rewarding.

I sold this today for £5000

A nice chap called Barnie bought it, he’s from Beaulieu, SO42

Pierburg 2E3 Idle Setup

£25 on the bay of flees, but alas I can’t see any reference to those measurements in there. Good book though. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240612/93bb98b0d9d6877c09be10d096a3f9b5.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240612/ab2e66b7682e4c082fcc4af706da3cc4.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com...

Re: 1990 Singlecab II

No, it’s variable unfortunately.

30 = 50
40 = 70

Re: Crisis may be looming?

Could be the green head gaskets in the head. My best guess. Hopefully just a failed clip. The expansion clips are far better than jubilee clips as they expand and retract with the hoses warming and cooling. Get some. Jubilee clips don’t expand and thus bite into hoses and split them. https://uploads...

Re: 1.9DG to 2.1DJ engine swap

It’s a noticeable improvement both in torque and speed. What were slow 65mph motorway journeys with second thoughts about over taking lorries becomes a care free pleasurable experience. Like it should be.

I took my 2.1 MV to 95mph & a DJ has more horses.

Re: 1.9DG to 2.1DJ engine swap

Yes, the DJ will run on a Pierburg 2E3 too. Just need to add the oil warmer/cooler. All the other accessories from the DG, just put them back in. Air filter, air intake, it’s all the same. Don’t need the ECU if you’re not adding fuel injection. A 4-spanner difficulty upgrade.

Re: Rear Wheel Bearing Type

Take it for a 30 min run before you go in.

1, the bearings will heat up & expand and won’t wobble so much

2, your emissions won’t be rich either as you’ll be fully off choke.
