EFI to Diesel conversion.

[Bloodyaussie]

So I picked up the new starter today and got a quote for an alternator also if it turns out it is needed...

I also requested quotes for seals from a few vendors and the only one to not get back to me is Patrolapart..??

One vendor got back to me withing minutes with all the prices and if available.

Just been going through all the numbers and parts sourcing and an overwhelming feeling of stress and anxiety has come over me..... weird..?

Still waiting to see if I have done the right thing or have stuffed up in a big way.

Life could be so much simpler ....he he.. oh god....

That starters pretty bad!! Can you take it up with the supplier or was it just included as a freebie?

Also forgot to mention, make sure you label all the wiring to save a few headaches re wiring. I'm sure Georgies got it all sorted tho.

Don't stress Jono, I thought the same thing. You'll love it, no regrets - Promise

I have a complete loom now I got on the weekend so it is all plug and play.. I have a brand new starter paid for today and will save the old one as a missile of revenge.

I need the car home so I can get on with this conversion as having it at Georges shop makes it hard for me to get stuff done with my little boy with me most of the week...

It will work out Jono. When's the compression test getting done? This should hopefully be a confidence booster when it reveals good results.

[Bloodyaussie]

Just got back from the workshop and everything is set up to go but we did not have enough battery juice to do the test..

George pulled the glow plugs out and thinks they are pretty much new and thinks the oil is also.

We cranked the engine over by hand to see that is does turn and all went well there.... how hard are diesels supposed to be to turn over by hand??

Sorry forgot to take pics while I was there.

Tomorrow morning we will run the compression test before I have to head to Toorak to do what little work I do these days.... dont know if I can stand another day without knowing...blah..

Thanks again to George for hanging around late doing this...

Are you sleeping?

Did you see my post earlier Bloodyaussie? I'm doing the exact same conversion. I'm just down in the road in Bundoora, we could probably help each other out if need be. I'm a little bit in front of you currently.

That's a great offer GQJett, don't worry about Jonno, he's a bloody stress head, when he pulls his head out of the bucket he will almost certainly touch base with you.
