TD42Ti Conversion & Modification Project

[florix]

Hey. I just went down this path with my Rf28t. It's a very straight forward job if its from a zd30 as they have more in common than the rd28. If you do happen to change the box over then the crossmember from a zd30 won't fit I believe, rd28 didn't. As far as mods go. Yes I am going to look into it and hopefully change turbo and go towards a front mount. There isn't much room under the bonnet for any fans to suck the air through the intercooler and if I do get a bigger scoop plus an intercooler it's going to be as if not more expensive then a front mount. In regards to engine mounts all I can say is just get the plate that bolts onto the engine made up as this is the easiest and strongest way to do it the RHS has 6 bolts and the left has 4. One thing I noticed with the rd28 is the turbo sits lower then the td42ti so I have to get a custom made exhaust to suit my 3" mandrel. I did take the butterfly out and once it's plated I'm blocking the egr. I am 100% happy with the power gain and I have gone from third on hills to 4th and even changing up a gear earlier (1.5 gears better). Even going around a roundabout is smoother and I keep it in third for turning into streets now. My wiring loom was done by Killa kustom kables (0404811498) it was easier then taking out my dash. If you want to know anything just hit me up as its all still fresh in my head.
