Cary Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 I now have this 1986 505 Turbo 4 speed automatic, I very much so dislike automatics and feel a 5 speed in this car would really liven it up. I have a 1982 505 Turbo diesel 5 speed parts car with everything there. What on that car can I use? I can get a 505 turbo stick rear diff, but other then that not to sure. Fill me in.

Cheer -Cary My old 87 Auto Turbo was on the slow side. The Ford E350 tow van I have with a 460 would leave it behind. The torque tube and driveshaft you'll need,as they are different legths. Im not sure of the gearing for either, but I think they're pretty close ratios. If I'm ever out your way I'd grab that 4 speed auto, the Xd3T intercooled engine I now have in my 81, with a 3 angle valvejob, mild head porting, extruded intake, polished injectors, and had the pump turned up 15%. With the 3.78's it's actually peppy now , but buzzy after 60 mph. With an overdrive, it would be much more relaxed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cary Posted June 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Hey Pugsley, I think a friend of mine has stick shift dif that came out of a turbo car, I need to figure out if the Torque tube out of my 82 TD stick will work in this 86 turbo?? Its not an if, but when I do this, if you want to come out and get the 4 speed auto, let me know. So gotta figure out what else I can do here. I am really interested in your XD3T conversion, sounds really interesting. Cheers -Cary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest italiogem76 Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 i wouldnt do it - you got a hell of a deal on a really nice turbo peugeot i have same car with a V6 instead and it has the ZF 4 speed auto transmission - it is fast enough for me and i really like the smoothness of the auto plus in the traffic around here a stick is no fun - contstant shifting/chutch because of the bumper to bumper sometimes Hey Pugsley, I think a friend of mine has stick shift dif that came out of a turbo car, I need to figure out if the Torque tube out of my 82 TD stick will work in this 86 turbo??

Cary Posted June 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Yeah I can understand that, But where I live you can take full advantage of driving a stick and enjoying it. I truly despise automatics and feel this car would just come to life with a stick. Its going to get a Front mount intercooler BOV Bigger exhaust Play with the turbo. So thats the plan. And a side not. Found out my 5 speed will work, friends diff is the right one, pedals will work, So now i need to find flywheel/clutch/pressure plate. This should be fun!!

Guest italiogem76 Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 i put a large intake on my peugeot v6 and next im going free flow cat and larger headers along with a performance muffler Yeah I can understand that, But where I live you can take full advantage of driving a stick and enjoying it.

Bean Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Pugsley - I think something was wrong with your 87 auto or your E350 was really FAST! I had a nice 86 Turbo and doing a brake stand before launching meant it was a freakin rocket off the line. Rear wheels would slowly start turning and when it hit full boost I'd release the brake and the car would launch hard with a fair bit of wheelspin and full boost. If you are just hitting the go pedal with no boost building - then of course it's slow. My current 505T's are 5-sp - and if you launch on boost it's pretty impressive. My 86 was quite the handful with stock sized tires in auto-x's - so that was the incentive to plan an upgrade. Course the upgrade is now absurd - so it's taken WAY longer to do but should be damn impressive. Back to Cary - swap should be pretty straight forward. Best thing to do is measure the torque tubes to see if they're close enough to work. There's a fair bit of adjustment in the diff mounting so you can get away with a bit of a difference. Like you mentioned - the rest should bolt right in and you'll just need the clutch and pressure plate. You also need the brake resevoir as that's also the clutch master resevoir. All that stuff will work off the 82... Good luck and have fun! I've swapped a 504 auto to 4-sp and it was cake. Cars were built for both and they left everything in place for it to bolt right in if you have all the parts. Rabin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugsley Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 i put a large intake on my peugeot v6 and next im going free flow cat and larger headers along with a performance muffler Just take the old converter and hollow it out, it was free and made a world of difference. And what's a "large intake" and where do you get "larger headers?" Pugsley - I think something was wrong with your 87 auto or your E350 was really FAST!

Its just a junk hauler workhorse.

Im happy with my XD3T, it's great for around town driving, I just don't do much highway because of the 3.78 gears, that and I work out of my home, so I dont drive alot of miles.

89peugeotV6 Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Hi I just did an auto to 5 spd swap on my 89 v6 very easy. Redo the shift linkage I changed the linkage around so it would have shorter throws it worked great use hiem joints. make sure you get hiem joints with the bronze bushing so they won't melt like teflon ones when welding.

Sweet upgrade! The V6 with a 5-sp makes for an awesome combo. Rabin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
