EFI to Diesel conversion.

Awesome. Good to hear you're getting somewhere BA! Exciting times ahead...

I have to thank Matty as he has been very good to me with advice and not passing judgement upon me... lol !!!!!

Also Winnie for finding my engine and gearbox... your finders fee will come at the next trip mate !!!!

Is there any mod/compliance plating or engineering that needs to be done before Vicroads will accept it with a TD42 donk?

Nope .... I have to let Vicroads know of course but it is a 4.2 being swapped to a 4.2...

Only for the turbo...

Because the TD was an option for the gq it can be swapped without a hassle aslong as the emission control adr's are being met

WOW! Exiting stuff Jono. After going down the conversion path myself I can assure you will not regret it one bit, everything is a positive - power, TORQUE, economy range AND RELIABLE!! And they sound awesome.

If you are getting it out of a car stuff you will need is - Bell housing, starter motor, radiator, vacuum reservoir and the lines that run along the firewall, fuel filter assembly and the lines that run along the firewall. Depending on which way you want to go with the eclectics, there are a couple of options, but at least you will need the instrument cluster with the tacho. I didn't put the full loom in mine, just the cluster and simply wired the glow plugs up to the factory relay via a momentary on switch in the cab which works fine, but if you want the full factory finish you will need the loom as well. You will also need standard tank to replace the gas tank, fuel lines should be fine. I would just hook it up to this, then worry about sorting out the belly tank later, but it's definitely worth keeping. Don't forget Patrolapart are very good with parts and advise and do heaps of conversions themselves.

Awesome stuff, looking forward to the project.

So what's the go with emission control and ADR's?

When you do and engine swap like this firstly everything the car came with from factory with the diesel need to be swapped over into the petrol motor ( which i think isn't much ). Emissions on the other hand are a little different, as per all engine conversions the emissions ( intake and exhaust ) need to meet the criteria of which ever is newer for example if the motor was made in 2000 but the car was made in 1990 you need to make the car comply with the exhaust gas and emission adr's of 2000.

As long as Jonathan makes it look factory he shouldn't have a problem

So hypothetically if I were to do the same thing, if mine is a '97, at a minimum I would need to comply with emissions standards from 1997 or later if I used a later model engine?
