GU TD42t

[Jamesw64]

Hi so I was thinking of buying a TD42turbo off of someone with an engine bay that looks like this

Is this how a GU TD42 turbo engine bay should look like or does it mean it's engine swapped
Cheers

Looks like a TD42 N/A manual transplanted into a Ti 4500. Just look at the VIN plate on the firewall, it will show the original engine.

Yeah. 100% is a converted patrol. It would have been a 4.5 Ti spec patrol prior to the conversion. It has a Silvertop rd42 which was available from 1988 to about 1994. So not a factory turbo but will handle a decent turbo setup.

Yep, it's a conversion. The dead giveaway is where he's written in the vehicle description "It has been converted to 4.2 diesel 220000 on motor 5 speed, 190000 on gearbox"
The car is listed as having 350,000 kms on it, so the conversion was done probably 6 or 7 years ago.

As above. Note also it looks like an NA. No Turbo in thoulse pics.

Being originally a Ti model I would have expected it to have an Auto originally too. Check that it has been registered as a TD42. Sounds like he has not finished the conversion. Priced pretty well though.
