HoSS Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Hi, dont come here often but i need the help of you boys! I'm putting the top end of a Thor engine into my defender. I need to know a few things about where the hoses go etc Could someone take a few pics for me? I'm particulary interested in: - Cooling hoses in gerneral. - the 2 hoses from the end of the plenum opposite the throttle body. what are they? where do they go? Also, if you have an Auto - Is there a kickdown cable? how does it attach to the throttle? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Few pics for you The auto is electronically controlled from the throttle pot so no kickdown cable AFAIK, you presumably either need to plumb the whole lot in as a job lot (engine and autobox ECUs talking to each other) or as I think Ashcrofts did with their Td5 Defender auto conversions, use the older hydraulic auto and add a kick down cable.

HoSS Posted June 17, 2007 Author Share Posted June 17, 2007 Cheers matey, magic Of course the D2 uses the ZF4Hp22-24 so electronic control of kick down. Ok i will fab something onto the throttle for kick down. The 2 hoses that come off the opposite end of the throtlle plenum - i presume its the vacuum to the brakes servo & vac to ECU? you couldnt take me 1 more pic looking down at the thermostat could you? thanks, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
