Can i use the stock oil and coolant lines from a lnf or do i have to do custom?
Is there the same ports in the 2.2 eco as the 2.0 for the feeds atleast?
huh.....

Since no one has used the LNF parts on a L61.......your kinda on your own.
I may be able to compare my brothers LNF to my L61 to see, but that wouldn't be till this weekend at the earliest.
Please post findings...

Will do. I was just wondering if any one has used the stock lines, Im thinking it shouldnt be a problem besides the oil return. But any info will help.
There was a guy about to do this but he decided to sell his car - Bonnet i think? I would ask him.
If you already have the lines from the LNF the worst case is drilling and taping or T'ing in. Why buy new lines?
What are your power goals? Be prepared for massive low end torque and a powerband that goes limp dick at high rpm.
Not really any power goals.... but deff trying to max out the turbo. Were going to see what we can get out of it before the motor pops.
Ok i'm saying this will all due respect, but if it's tuned properly, the LNF turbo won't make enough power to pop an L61. You'll kill it by running too much boost (maxing the turbo) and getting a @!#$load of hot air in there along with heat from the over spun turbine, or with poor tuning. Running the LNF turbo in its efficiency range should put you in the high 200's for whp.
On the LNF (2.0 w/ VVT), 20-22 psi is where you really start maxing the turbo and extra boost just turns up the heat. I would expect it to be similar or less on the 2.2 eco.

I think it would be worst. "More heat" on the L61.

I meant the boost at which the tiny turbo will be efficient would be less.

I was saying that the combustion chamber design on the L61 would generate more heat than the LNF at the same boost levels.......in theory.

Ah gotcha. In any case, between the higher displacement, higher static c/r, lack of direct injection, and combustion chamber design, he should run out of turbo before reaching power levels that will break stuff.

coolant lines should be cake, aswell as oil feed, just tap the side of the oil filter housing(on the block) and run it from there.
use the same line off the lnf and your golden

I'll help as well, since I'm about 45 minutes away.

So, has anybody on here done this lnf turbo set up on a l61 j-body? I am also considering this set up but have not found anybody that has actually done it. From what i have read,
I know i need a waterpump tube from the lnf to clear the turbo manifold. The question is will it fit the l61 with no problems? How about the stock oil/water lines? If someone out there has done this set up please share some info. I bought a turbo manifold and turbo off ebay to do this swap. I understand the turbo is tiny, i am just looking for some extra power, nothing record setting..lol.
i dont know about the waterpump tube, havent heard that.
as for the turbo, isnt it bigger then the saab ones?
