TD42 rebuild time
Hi everyone
The time has come for me to begin the strenuous and exhausting task of rebuilding the old TD42 I have sitting in the garage. It came out of an old gq non turbo. This being said I need your guys help to get brands for all the bits and pieces for the build.
Things I know I’m getting are
Borgwarner turbo
12mm pump
CC intercooler
Fatz fab air box
Patroldocta snorkel
What I need help with is stuff to do with the motor itself.
Ceramic coated internals
Heavy duty internals
New ceramic sleeves
Etc basically the strongest internals around.
Throw some names at me and I’ll investigate.
Cheers
Jack

I purchased the engine kit for my TD from Engines Australia in Dandenong. It was their top kit with ceramic coasted pistons and the best in quality of everything. I can't remember the exact details on the build but I had different exhaust valves used and different valve springs. If you need a new head, genuine is the best but they are hard to come by lately so im not sure what the next best in that regard.
Other bolts ons you will need is
- Engine loom, I sent mine to Killa Kustoms, came back all done an with some tacho jigger so the tacho would work.
- TD42 crossmember. Mounts the gearbox about 10mm forward, so the TD doesnt rub on the firewall
- TD engine mounts and chassis plates
- Acc pedal and cable
- Fuel filter head, you can use the ZD one though
- Radiator, again, you can use the ZD radiator setup
- Clutch
Air box. I have the Fatz Fab box but when I can afford it will be changing it out for a custom box that uses a flat paper filter. Im not convinced the K & N style pod filter is filtering as good as a paper filter. That statement will probably open a can of worms...
Snorkel, just dont get one that has a rear facing inlet. You will regret it because of the induction noise.
Intercooler, the CC Ultimate cooler maybe the better top mounts but again, its fecking noisy when the motor is under load and the boost is getting up there.
Take it all with a grain of salt. You will be told otherwise in many different ways. So pool it all together and think on it.
Have fun.

You can get a paper filter with the same style to suit the Fatz mate.

Also another thing I need to iron out is weather to go to a 5 speed manual or go with the Wholesale automatics 5 speed auto.
Or to stay with the zd30 4 speed auto

Its 20k for the 5spd auto from Wholesale autos. I inquired about it when I saw them at one of the 4x4 shows. The ZD 4spd auto will be good I guess. A member here used the TCU from a TB45 I think with their TD/ 4spd auto. @jff45 was the man. I want his air box too he made. Lol.

So if I go to keep my 4 speed I need a trans mission control unit and a bell housing adaptor for the td42

You will need an adaptor yes. I believe you can use the ZD30 TCU. jff45 used a different TCU which made gear changing different, or something like that. Hopefully he sticks his head in and clears it up.

I read somewhere that you can’t use the auto zd30 tcu because it uses the throttle position sensor to determine gear changes etc and going from fly by wire to cable you loose the sensor.
