1Y Arrives tomorrow !

Post by peilneters »

My 1Y arrives tomorrow, I think I've got the necessary bits for fitting it into me crewcab, sump oil pick up, inlet outlet manifolds,air filter from my 1.6 CX. However I read in this forum a flywheel swap is required. Why and :D has anybody got one they would like to convert into cash ?

Cheers

Neil

Yes - you need a T25 diesel flywheel!

Where is the 1Y from ?

I think that's diesel!

Best of luck. Sounds like a bargain to me.

They come up now and again on here, brickyard or fleabay.

I wouldnt pay more than £20 for one - but then im not in desperate need of one (just got one off a guy on Brickyard :) )

Be wary - im sure some flywheels advertised arent actually off t3s - you need to be sure the one you get is.

Just to let you know, i just finished installing mine this past weekend. Wasn't a 1Y though, it was an ADG industrial 1.9 . Do you know that the intake manifold will need to have some of the body bashed out or cut. I used a CS manifold which i had welded up so i could then match port it to the inlets of the head. Was worried that it may not flow enough, but after some tests it is sufficient. The next thing i did was to put a larger head on my injection pump. The one that came with the motor was 8 mm which is way too small for a truck. Found a 10mm which slipped on fine. Had to fiddle with the throttle/ governor lever , fuel screw and idle stop, but now goes like stink. Pulls past 5000rpm easily and lots more torque than the 1.7 KY i took out.

Thanks for the info, I'm going to use my CS manifolds, lacking a flywheel at the moment, any ideas ?

Cheers NEil
