Re: Help with a 245Ti! 200 1984

Hello,

Well, if you don't need the car right away. I would say take your time and

do the swap. Mine is planned for the nicer weather. Maybe in a month or

so. The idle motor will need to be remounted. If you check out the photos

Stu used the bracket from an 82 K-jet car and mounted the motor on the

side of the manifold. You could also make your own bracket pretty easy.

The K-jet idle motor bracket is a one year only part. You do want to mount

the motor with some type of vibration and isolation. Thats why the rubber

mounts. One of the other posts the guy used the turbo throttle body to

simplify the change over. I want to use the LH throttle body.

The only vacuum connection that needs special attention is the one for the distributor. This has to have ported vacuum. It should be teed into the

small vacuum line on the throttle body. Also if you have a 83 or older

with the vacuum connections to the CPR then you also need to connect to

the same spot with that. The newer 84-85 turbos don't use that type of

CPR. All the folks that have done the change report positive results.

A smoother idle and more power. One of the posts I read said 10 hp. I

don't know about 10 but any help is good. Happy Rolling!
