1y conversion

[kit]

Hi guys, long time no post but I need advice again is there a definitive guide to the 1y conversion, I know there have been many many posts on the subject but I was hoping to find something I could print off to show my mechanic mate before we start, thanks in anticipation

Hi Kit, looking for exactly the same information myself so will be watching your post with interest. Ive just secured a 1Y from a Seat Ibiza off ebay, changing up from a very smokey JX.

What engine are you converting from?
Are you intending to leave it n/a or turbo it?
If n/a, are you looking to use the 1Y inlet manifold?

I like the idea of keeping it n/a but my mechanic is a bit worried about the mods required in the engine bay to make room for the 1Y inlet manifold. In an earlier post to my thread, Caveman made a very sound recommendation for the 1Y manifold to get the best power from it, much better than keeping the JX manifold set up, gets more air in.

I also understand however that the 1Y off the Seat is likely to have the oil squirters like an AAZ so I might be tempted to use my JX turbo.

Well it is in, the CS out and striped the 1y in place connected up, now how do I get the engine lid down

The sticky up bit needs modifying. Dead easy to do with a grinder and a welder - or just buy this if welding isn't your bag...

What is the grinder for, cutting a hole in the lid?
