Oh mate that is Soooo Not a silly question... The question should actually be though => Why have Nissan NOT got a twin Turbo V8 diesel into our market yet to compete with the tojos as theirs have been on the market for nearlly 5 years i think and it is a smashing engine WTF!!!

id like to hear from anyone that has put a chevy v8 diesel in their 'troll....especially if it was done at Bullet Cars....and has the supercharger.....

Trying to convince myself it is worth the conversion.

I have heard average feedback from the Chev as its a big donk and heavy, dont get me wrong its a killer!

It appears that for diesel, a Duramax conversion is the way to go if your going to pay for the conversion to be done. Big Bucks but 300rwkw and Blissssss.

f your happy to stick with Petrol then an LS1 or LS2 and your kicking butt.
