Turbo compatibility from 5LE to 5L motor

[jamesr]

Hi

I'm looking to install a turbo system from a 04 LN167R with a 5LE motor to a 98 LN167R with a 5L motor. 

 

Are there any differences between the models with the piping, oil coolant lines, exhaust etc? 

Are the exhaust systems the same?

Anything i should look out for? thanks i'm a bit of a novice when it comes to turbos.

I think u have to rotate the header pipe 60degees.  Watch temperature closely.  You'll easily cook it.  I don't recommend doing this.  The 5L must be in very good order, reconndition if doubts.

Thanks manxman, i will get the engine recoed if there's any trouble.  do you know if the air pipes are the same between the 5L and 5LE motor? any other differences? thanks

My 5L. 1999, didn't have air pipes into the exhaust.  the intake plumbing is readily connected once you swap cam covers.
