BlakeJ Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Hey guys im just after the current value for some parts as im wrecking a buggered bodied PI (in New Zealand) and using the engine and dash etc (and live Pi plates) to convert my Mk2 2000 into a 2500PI. I already have put a overdrive box in my 2000 so this one along with other bits is spare. Whats a ballpark price for a good overdrive box these days?Also the PI engine i will be using has been sitting for 15 years and now apprantly doesnt start, which im not surprised as im guessing all the seals in the injectiors and metering unit are toast. Father in law is trying to convince me to slap some 2" SUs on it but i think i like the coolness and rareity of the PI, where is a good place to get rebuild kits etc. Any opinions on my plans speak up too im always keen for constructive criticism and advise.CheersBlake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nang Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Blake,O/d boxes seem to go for around $300. Where abouts are you?I think Collett and Fleming in Auckland know their way around P I's. You'll need other bits if you're going to use a standard 2000 car.Our Pommie mates will know where bits are available.Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlakeJ Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 ive got the whole PI car so i should have everything i need there is regards to pumps etc, will go down the bosch pump line i think. Will swap rear diff and then the pi specific interior bits. I already have power steer etc in the 2000. WIll obviously need to put the pi tank and lines in etc to but buy having the whole parts car it should give me everything i need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nang Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I'm up in Wairoa. Got plenty of Triumph bits but nothing P.I. Have a look on Trademe. Quite a lot of P.I. bits there if needed.Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrapman Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 BlakeIf you get stuck for PI specific bits in NZ, there is a guy in the UK who is very helpful, Neil Ferguson, who will ship you a complete set of seals for the metering unit etc I am sure. He also does rebuilt MU's etc, but getting bigger bits shipped might be prohibative mind.CheersColin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruza Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I have done the conversion before and it is reasonably straightforward. You will need the tank etc. If you are using the engine as well why not try and get it going in the donor car. Rebuild kits are readily available and people like Collet and Flemming or Darryl at Economy autos in Chch will sort it all.
