hey guys my conversion is almost complete, just need to fabricate a bracket for my alternator.
this is the setup:
i'm using 7afe rods and pistons, which i had ceramic coated, the reason is the 7afe piston is a low compr piston and the 20v has a high comp (ading a garrett gt17 once the motor is run in)
using 20v head gasket slighyly modified and a reanault cambelt with 116 teeth. my tensioner is modified. the motor turns freely by hand. dont know how toplace pix here otherwise i'd have shown you guys. and i'm running a locally made aftermarket stand alone management.
keep your fingers crossed that the conversion is gonna be a sucsess

How smooth was your head swap? I'm not doing the 20v, but the 16v. Did you change the wiring harness? And what water pump did you use, the 4age or the 7afe? Let me know please so I can move on without screwing up!!

Thanks,

Dan

head swap and smooth... never in the same sentence. Getting the timing right alone is trial and error. You HAVE TO rewire the engine/ecu/sensors... there's simply no real way around it. The waterpump is bolted onto the block, so if you're using the 7A block... use the 7A waterpump.
