Club 80-90 Forums

could anyone point me in the direction of some photos of a jx diesel engine bay? Cant find any anywhere. Im swopping my df engine & box etc, I have all the bits required but its a bit of a jigsaw at the moment. Im specifically wondering where the battery tray, fuel filter and airbox fit in.

from my engine swap , years ago

ah thats just what i wanted. thanks steve. did you find the wiring straightforward enough? thats the bit im most concerned about.

the wiring is dead easy, you only need to unplug the loom in the engine bay, and plug the loom that you got with the engine in, or if you didnt get the loom, a diesel only needs the live that did go to your coil for the fuel ct off solenoid, and the gauge wires that went to the petrol engine to the derv( you also need the carb heater wires to go to the glowplug relay, which lives in the black box where all the electric is- you need the glowplug relay from the donor van)

you wont have a glowplug light in your dash, so you need to change the dash, or live without it.....

assuming you have the derv gearbox too, or you need to change the input shaft on your petrol gearbox to the shorter derv one

tis should really be in tech, ill move it there.

Ive got the clocks out of the donor vehicle so hopefully I'll have the glow plug light. Took all the required parts off the donor vehicle. Gearbox, linkage all the cables etc. My airbox is a big metal cylinder type thing not the same as yours.

Thanks again steve.
