Here is the latest update. Finally got to the point of a permit and a test drive. Got some high egts to resolve yet. Pump timing tool on order as I know that's probs not right. Hopefully didn't buy too big of a turbo as it's reverse scroll and limited options

I like what you have done with the rear quarter panel box and guard over the tires. Who's box, length and the guard as well? I am up to this part in my conversion but yours looks just what i need i think. Also where did you source the rubber blocks half way along the guards to no doubt support the edges of the bonnet?

Apologies for ‘snippet’ @OL1978 Mate…..but that is seriously impressive in my Nuffy eyes your custom intake plenum

Seems like it would completely/hopefully solve far/front/back end OEM cylinder intake air pressure issues like I have previously carbon buildup found. Best of ALL, you’ve ingeniously found a way to not need a 3” body lift to close the bonnet Legend

Bonnet blocks from patrolapart. Genuine ones. Boxes and guards from MW Toolbox. They are the 750mm ones. The guards from the same mob they were double sided I just cut to length

Alot of careful measuring went into that! I'm a performance petrol man mostly but I have rebuild a few td42s. Every time poor air flow damage is present. To me it was wildly apparent! I refuse to even use the common style high dollar RB intakes. I've not got it wrong in 18 years

Hope you don’t mind if I attempt a copycat on your Top-Plenum setup in times to come Old Mate
Mines a recent W2A PWR top mount rebuild/setup too, happy with time poor efforts myself although way too many Nuffy silicone bends/clamps to get adventure rolling



I promise to reflect/acknowledge back here on the world’s greatest TD42Ti Plenum design I’ve personally seen to date

I'm not at all fussed mate. I just play around in my machine shop. I built both manifolds as well as spent considerable time in the cylinder head20221223_135204.jpg20221223_135216.jpg20221119_163721.jpg20221017_141743.jpg
