    Edging ever closer to doing a 6.5 conversion.
    Will probably make a call within a week or 2.
    If this goes ahead, you all know what this means right?

    cheers

    which motor/drivetrain have you decided to go with Ralph? Are you doing the installation yourself or someone else?

    Phil it would be best to get the new alternator then the pipe sizes and go to pirtek (or similar) with a list. What we done with marks was a back and forth till we found right fitting. The only issue was the oil drain which was a custom made jobby by the local pirtek in wodonga but it is something that could be made at home if your handy with a Oxy or something.

    I'd be happy to help you with it but I am a little bit away from you for a quick sunday arvo help lol. I'm out near gisborne.

    Thanks Mat, currently in Stanhope during the week. No flat out hurry as it still gets enough charge to keep things going. I need to do a quick check to ensure there is nothing wrong with the battery also, but the alternator was charging at circa 14.2- 14.3 when first put in, now 13.8 seems the limit.

    Will be the P400 with the uprated injector pump : DB2833-6284, and 6L90 as the transmission.
    Just spoke to the VASS engineer, and it is all good for emissions compliance, much to my surprise.
    The conversion will be done by "my guy", not Brunswick Diesel.

    Shit hot Ralph mate, can't wait to see you blokes work your magic on this :-) Reckon you might be the first P400 Patrol beast in the country with a super custom sump as discussed at AB's donk party mate.
    For others benefit here, the P400 was the bulletproofed 6.5 having an entire additional cast girdle between the block and sump strengthening the hell out of em but obviously making them quite a deep donk potentially hitting diffs at full travel @PeeBee GQ :-(

    Hey Ralph, according to the US military manual a stock rocket 6.5 achieves maximum torque @ 2,000rpm. I believe I have heard and read that around 1,800rpm or slightly lower is their most efficient highway speed. Mine being a 6.5NA manual and originally 3.9 diffs on 33's found that below 2,000rpm would suffer on 100kmph highway hills. I believe you're looking at a centre mount turbo and auto so would imagine you'll blast over the big hills.
    FWIW, now running 35's through 4.3 diffs and still the manual box finds around 2,250rpm ish for me at 100kmph. If I bring it up to 2,500rpm @110kmph I loose 50km per 80L tank. Great for the mountain roads and tracks though:-)
