The older blocks hat 3/8 NPT fittings in the block while the later ones hat 1/2" NPT As far as routing goes the lines should go the same. It's helpful to be able to secure the lines to the frame near the motor mount like it came stock. In @SnowDrift 's build thread he linked to a neat clamp to...

I mentioned it in another thread but my go-to for a vehicle that size would be a VW ALH TDI with a mechanical injection pump off a Land Rover 300. You could beef up the ALH with BRM rods and pistons. Or go further by boring the ALH out to a 2.0 (81mm bore) and drop in a BEW engine crank, rods...

Bilstein looks to be the most expensive of the bunch at close to $100/ each leaning towards these for the front: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=451801&cc=1053302&pt=7556&jsn=551 and these for the rear: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=503661&cc=1053302&pt=7556&jsn=547

Seems the main difference in performance/ price is whether the shock is "gas charged monotube" or not. Non- charged AC Delco heavy duty on RA are around $45 a piece, while the Ranchos or AC Delco monotube units are between $57- $64 a piece So in anyone's experience is the extra price/ monotube...

I have a new in box crank gear and chain that came off my P400. Chris installed timing gears so no use for it. Also have a timing cover with the hole for sensor in it. If you'd like either for getting this to run I can give you a good deal.

I see nothing wrong with putting the transmission in 4th or 5th gear to hold it in place for torquing. Also, if you don't have a torque wrench that goes up to 200 you can use an extender tool to reduce the amount of force needed at the end of the wrench to reach 200 ft lbs. Explanation here...

Need to get both front and rear shocks for the '93 1 ton dump project. What was on the rig appears to be original. Don't need anything fancy, just something to work as designed for the truck's use. All suggestions welcome

I've always wanted to swap an ALH TDI into an old 2 door blazer. Folks drop them into Tacomas all the time and I think Leroy put one in a S10 years ago on here. Pretty stout little engines, you can convert them to mechanical injection too, and get 25+ mpg out of them in a Tacoma. Sorry if this...

I don't know the housing size offhand. Not sure if Unique Diesel would know either. My 35/40 going on the dump truck has a 14cm housing. I thought that the 14 was the ideal size for our pickups, but another fellow with way more time in these things than I ever will asserts that he can get a 16...

@Will L. the basic specs that I have (and all I have) is that it's a 54mm compressor and 64mm turbine. Six blade compressor wheel, never had it apart to see the blades on the turbine wheel. It's a shame they're not available anymore (at least at the moment from Unique Diesel) as it seems to be...

Sold

I'll compare the outlet on it to a gm8 in the shop to see if they're the same size. Pretty certain that all the downpipes be it stock or aftermarket use a 3" vband clamp. The exhaust outlet is clocked to the right angle for a side mount setup. I'll see if I have a stock downpipe in the hedgerow...

Selling my Penninsular towing turbo and all intake piping plus aftermarket upper intake. Direct drop- in for factory side- mount turbo setup I purchased this turbo brand new back in 2019 and it's worked flawlessly on my P400 without issue. Selling because I need the money more than I need the...

Music to my ears! Haven't driven a diesel in over a year and I miss that rattle. Can't wait to put it to work 🤘

Looks like you may want to swap the stud and bolt on the passenger side of the tstat crossover. In Glagulator's picture it looks like the bracket that holds the turbo oil feed line is bolted to the valve cover side/ outer side of the tstat as opposed to where it is now on the valley side Engine...

The controls on a mini excavator can get really touchy when running the throttle at anything above half. I never run it that high, usually only at about a third of the way up from idle. All the engine is doing is running the hydraulic pump, everything on the machine is powered by hydraulics...

I never modified/ repurposed the bracket for the 2 different turbos I've used. I can see why making another brace could be helpful as Husker described but I just tossed it and forgot. I know lots of other folks have used other turbos on this engine, would be curious to know whether they made...

The model I pictured is the same I own, a KX91-3. Roughly 3.5-4 ton machine. If you can get one with the angle blade feature it's well worth having for pushing stuff around. The newer model equivalent would be a U-35 or KX-040 Have you run a mini before? Few small tips to make the job easier-...

It seems only the aluminized systems have the ball and socket design If you're set on stainless and want an easier disconnect at the downpipe to 4", your likely best bet is to get a stainless 3"-4" coupler and a set of 4" vband clamshells to mate the downpipe to the rest of the exhaust. You...

The front blade on a mini excavator is very useful for grading. It has a float function just like that on a loader. Some have an angle blade feature which is extra nice for grading a taper. I've done numerous driveway jobs with the excavator. Plus a 3' wide smooth edge bucket is amazing for...
