Magna TR Engine swap for 2.6 Carb engine

Hi,

I have been hunting on the web for a "how to" on a Magna engine swap or an EFI conversion. I not only found this forum but a site with the same engine swap into a Scorpion.

I was wondering if I could ask for people's comments on the above build story. In particular I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on the highlighted problems and how they relate to the Pajero.

I have swapped engines in my own cars before but never tackled a conversion where I don't have a manual that I can refer to. So any links you can refer me to would be great. A search on here has lots of discussion but I am really looking for some hard technical detail.

Thanks
Matt

I haven't used the magna engine (completely) on my conversion. However I have seen the site which you linked on your post, and it seems to hold up.

I've done the conversion using Magna EFI onto the pajero engine, which is a *fun* task in itself.

If you're looking for a little more information try, www.sigma-galant.com. The site isn't pajero based obviously, but the guys on there have the best understanding of the astron engine.

If you search, you'll find my writeup on the inlet/efi side of things. Might help you out a little. (same username)

Hope that helps.

Oh and, good luck!
