Now I know that you are all taking this VERY seriously but really, what kind of a shoehorn am I going to need for that! :animierte-smilies-f
The difference is exactly as you say... there are heaps of LS conversions and there are no, well I would imagine there are no Terry Trols.Quote:

The LS has a lot more gains than the Terry as well
That's why I wouldn't consider putting the V6 in a Patrol
Okay, enough reality... I am still going to look into it further... I guess I'll start with Marks and see what happens from there.
ROFL... and therein lay answer all along.Quote:

There is certainly no wide spread issues with the engine itself.
Keep us posted how the investigatio turns out
The LS is nice, but itis not diesel, hence why I haven't been considering it.
Duramax is awe inspiring but I didn't want to spend that much.
Diesel Chevs are new to me but I heard of them just recently.
Anybody else know about them?
Thats what I have in mine... Chev 6.5 litre turbo intercooledQuote:

ok the territory engine is not a ford engine it is a citroen engine which is used in the peugeot 607, jaguar xf 2005 - 2010 (twin turbo), landrover discovery 3 + 4 2005 - 2011 (single turbo) and range rover sport 2005 - 2010 (single turbo). It is a bit under powered in the discos and sports but still better than the rd28 in a patrol, if you were considering doing this you may want to look at the 3.0 v6 used across the JLR range (XF Jag to RR Vogue) which is twin turbo and basically the same motor with huge improvements.
It is a ford engine......Quote:

OK... who the F#$@ is the smart rrse that hacked Clunks account?
There is NO way a post that is coherent, relavent, accurate and doesn't have porn was EVER keyed and posted by our Clunk...
Cut and paste my man, cut and paste

No need to get to Fisticuffs here... But there does seem to be some sort of disparity here...
I like the sound of a twin turbo version of anything, especiallly if I can get my hands on one.
I just get the feeling that this will be more expensive than what I am prepared to pay!
The looking continues!
What are your wants/needs for the patrol?
>>>tappin from tassie
Looking for another engine in case mine goes bang... I like the idea of a V6 cos they are generally smaller displacements (smaller capacity means better fuel economy) and smaller in physical size.
If there was a 5 litre (or smaller) V8 I would consider that too...
Oh, and a DIESEL...
I kind of ment; what type of driving/use do you want out of the patrol? Different engines suit different tasks.
>>>tappin from tassie
I want to be able to do a trip to the cape and some other top end destinations, do some local tracks and use the car for touring/camping.
I have got the gear to lift it either two or four inches and want to be able to make it capable in some of the harder stuff (vic highcountry)
I haven't been 4wding for a long time and I want to experience a whole gammut of 4wd types of terrain.
Average price for an LS or Chev conversion to be professionally done is anywhere from 10-15k, thats with commercially tested off the shelf bolt in kit components.
Unless you have mad fabrication skills, any engine you try to slot in that doesn't have a conversion kit already out there is going to run you a lot more.
I was going to go v8 conversion but decided it'll be cheaper to turbo my petrol donk instead, will definitely give more power and might help with economy when freeway driving.
A new member, @LostBenji mentioned plans to beef up the internals of his zd30. Would that be an option for you? I would guess it would come in a lot cheaper than a conversion and with a lot less hassles.

The only reason that I have started this post is to see if anyone else has considered putting a different engine into the car if it went bang.
From all the magazines that I have read i can see that there is a tried and true way (good and dependable if not monotonous) and then there are the few that thunk "outside the box" and made something that worked really well. I like the idea of airbag suspension (2 to 4 inch lift at the twist of a dial and good ride comfort always)
and I like remotely disconnectable sway bars (pull a lever and it flexes like a sick giraffe) I don't mind doing things a bit differently...
You can bag me for trying something new, but I would rather be remembered for being the bloke who broke new ground and paved the way... (ironic in a 4wding scene)
Lucky last, anyone have any ideas of what might be a good engine to replace a ZD30? (think V config (or anything else except an inline four(or six)), less than 5 litres, DIESEL engine)
:feedback:
One from the dark side for you...Quote:

Basically you want to do something different for the sake of doing something different? To be remembered as the guy that did something different. But you're asking people to recommend an engine. Basically if you want to break new ground then you really have to go it alone otherwise you're just copying. Don't worry, no one is bagging you out!
If you look hard enough there are more 4wd conversions than you can poke a stick at. Everything from a twin turbo rb26dett frying 37s to 6.5 diesel chev torque monster (as mentioned above).
Maybe just make a list of all the v configuration diesel engines under 5 litre and work out the pros and cons?
Just remember, doing something completely different can turn into a big headache and possibly be more trouble than its worth.
>>>tappin from tassie
You are right Taslucas, I will have to go it alone as anything that anyone tells me here wont necessarily be what I want.
Yes Hodge, I had considered the toyo V8, but after driving one for three years, its too heavy and I may as well put in a chev for all the electrical hassles.
Do you know much about the 3.0L v6 eco diesel from dodge?Quote:

Go for it Biskit!!
Attachment 66898
I will document anything that I do, just don't be disappointed if nothing shows up for a while...
and yes, the Jeep V6 is very inyteresting!
What about the V6 Diesel out of the Navara ...... 3.0 Litre and 170kW before Chip & Exhaust ..... much betterer than the other options.
Im guessing thats out of the NP550.....Quote:

The 550 navara uses the v9x engine which is a Renault built unit. Fark it has some balls. Don't know on its reliability though.Quote:

There you go, I didn't even know that Nissan were already putting V6's into their cars!
Plenty of BMW powered GUs in EuropeQuote:

However the Ranger with the 3.2 has a towing capacity to 3.5 ton which is interesting.
I think this would be a very good option!
personally not sure I'd be buying a Ranger or putting a Ranger motor into anything let alone a Patrol.....
why? I was under the impression they were bullet proof? UK guys have been pulling them out of transits and installing in Defenders etc. Thats the 3.2 engine.
