Good stuff Andy.... would be good to see it one day.

Woohoo! Congrats mate!

Brilliant stuff mate....... the hard part is over and now its just a bit of fettling to get the small things sorted, oh and of course the never ending maintenance ...lol

Andy, further to the PMs I sent,
My computer screen is so stuffed
that I can't get clear pictures of
the TD42 wiring.
I have looked at the Haynes
Manual and on Page 12-18.
It is vague about...

Get onto Mudnut I think,He's the man to PM
Is there a resistor or anything that you solder in line to
help convert from 2.8 to 4.2 diesel?

Hey mate I can't help at all but just letting you know I have been reading this whole thread and following your little journey...
Stick with it mate, you are too far to throw it in now haha!

What you're describing with the petrol tacho is what the TB45 conversions seem to experience when they connect the TD42 sensor to the petrol tacho. Nothing below 1000-1500 then shows normally.

Sounds to me more like a faulty sender....... If I still had the other engine here I could have ripped it out for you.

See if you can at least loan one... some shops charge a re- stocking fee for...

See........ happy days mate.. yes another expense but one that should have been part of the build.

My clutch was only new when I did my conversion so was not needed.

Glad its coming together......

While i was going through my build i kept thinking the worst at every turn and sometimes it was justified but many it was just me being stressed and down on myself..

You have done very well so far...

Mate I am not sure if you know what I went through but it was hell..... To me a gearbox is a huge pain in the arse but by far the end of the world.

I am sure right now you want to put your head...

Very much look forward to it mate.... as will many.

I hope you plan on joining us on a trip at some point mate.... will be good to see.

I am bloody loving this thread mate,
Makes me want to go nuts in a garage and build something.
without these threads it would end up just a pile of stripped parts on the floor, but with threads...

I have an air hacksaw if you have a compressor. No sparks. Clean cut. Easily controlled. Cut my snorkle hole and easily follow a line or shave 2mm off at a time.

If that doesn't work, just right click my name and choose to see threads I started..

Andy, if you want to take a quick look at my TB45E turbo thread in DIY, you'll see the Navara style scoop I put in my bonnet.
I cut it with tinsnips to avoid the sparks spraying everything and...

I cut two holes in my bonnet for two GU scoops on my troopy.
not hard but you need to hold cutting tool tight or it will dance across the bonnet

Looking sexy mate.... until you get the bonnet done it is one big heat soak sitting on top of the engine.

Finished my swing away jerry can holder... just need the number plate light and it is complete.

Will make some different brackets that slide into the back of it to carry different things..eg...

If you're interested, I put up a few pics of how I did mine in my TB45E turbo thread in the DIY section..

Good stuff mate..... look forward to all the news..!!!!

Did you happen to open your D1 Spec catch can? I bought one on Ebay and found it empty inside so no baffle or medium to condense the oil vapor.
I made a baffle for mine and put some curled alu...

Getting to the pointy end. Take a video for us when you first fire it up I'd love to see it. Very exciting for you
