CA18ET into another car

AA Alananglia · #1 12-08-2008, 17:26

Hi Has anybody out there put the 1800 turbo into a diffrent car?
What i am after is how to wire up the ECU.
My 1800 is in a 1960 ford Anglia fits really well with the box and should blow away those Xflows at about 1/4 of the price,
So if anyone out there can help me it would be of great help.
many thanks Alan

Found this site through the wonderful world of Google. I see AA AlanAnglia is also planning the same conversion as me.

Alan - have you any pictures of the conversion ? how far have you got with it?

I've just picked this up to go in my Anglia estate

Concerned about where the gearbox lever is gonna come out

And a picture of the car it's off in

Now i've managed to find most stuff on the web but could do with a manual fly wheel and a starter motor - think thats all i'm missing. I have a full loom although this is out of the auto car and i've got the manual box (is this gonna cause any issues ?)

I can't trial fit the engine yet as I need to cut the front panel off first and I dont want to do that just yet as it's a bit rotten and I need to put some strength in it - but when I do i'll post some pictures to show. I've measured and measured and fairly confident I can get the thing in

Any help along the way would be greatly appreciated --
