G'day all
I'm looking into a TD42Ti conversion for a 2005 ZD30 Patrol. I can get the parts at a good price so I'm planning to source a new bare motor and build up from there with new components, whether that be OE or after market. The objective of the build is for reliability over performance, as the rig is used primarily for remote touring and towing a 2t off-road van. But if there are some efficiency gains to be had along the way I'm keen to explore those avenues. Economy and safe overtaking capability are equally important.
At this stage I'm thinking of a TD05 16g turbo upprade, tune, 3" exhaust, cross country IC, maybe the larger bonnet scoop and boost/egt gauges. Is it best to revert the Ti pump to mechanical? Not really interested in a pump upgrade at this point. Are there any other things I should be looking at and budgeting for? I'm in SA, so not sure how much scrutiny it will cop from the roads authority over here. Suggestions?
Like the NADS mods with the ZD30, are there any other must dos for the TD42Ti?
Thanks for the input!
cheers
Mike
