haha its a tight squeeze in a 90 i can assure you mate
already cleared it with the insurance before i started ... though now ive got a time limit to get it done as they assumed it was already in... dozey gits... got till the 18th now though... price has gone up £20 a year and i need an engineers report by the 18th or they cancel my insurance for the 90 lol __________________________________ Thanks
Nick
well ive got the new pump on and cant get the timing right... anybody know how to lock the bosch VE pump in the right place with the locking bolt on the side of the casing?? __________________________________ Thanks

you remind of myself 30 years ago,then it was our old farm series 3 which i shoe horned a 4.1 perkins 248 4 cyl under the bonnet,with the fuel turned up she was about 90 hp but with as much torque as a chevy v8 .used it for years,was fast and very noisy.what your doing with the 6bt looks really good ,think i might have used the non turbo gearbox but thats not much smaller, all the best with getting the beast finished,Phil
thanks Phil
the thing thats ******* me off is the parts that should work dont haha
but i have a clutch now, will have a working injection pump tomorrow hopefully
the non-turbo spicer box is the same size... just easier to hook an lt230 onto it appears lol so the overall length is shorter
got a 160hp pump and +40hp fuel pin goin on the engine before the end of the week... and possibly a 3200rpm spring to follow.... so will be seeing a nice n easy 200hp soon __________________________________ Thanks

the transbox isnt the least of my worries... i think the Cummins is eying up the 10spline axles for starters lol __________________________________ Thanks

hi nick,looks like all that hard work is really paying off.theres nothing better than taking on a project that all the talkers say cant be done and making it work ......ive got a home made booster pump for an irrigation gun here ,iput an engine and box out of a dodge 50 in it, turns out the gearbox is a zf s5 24,dont know how that differs from your gearbox but this one has a dog leg 1st gear and 5 speed,its all ally even the bellhousing so really light,if anybody builds a mk2 cummins landy one of these might be a bit smaller and lighter keep fine tuning the beast m8
yea that box looks like an alloy casing one... probs a comparible weight to an lt77
would be interesting to see what the output shaft is like on that for mating to the LT230
need to sort some wierd vibes out (think its the slack rear diff input :/ )
need to make a good intake for the turbo and compressor (opinions needed)
needs to make my modded r380 tunnel sit down properly (i bent the seatbox abit putting the thing in)
then i want to repaint it so it looks smart __________________________________ Thanks
Nick
insurance is sorted now... got my engineers report... just got MOT next week... one tubular outrigger to replace and need to rip my trailer sockets off lol!
also need to replace my turbo now as its shat its seals just one thing after another... and for once its the bits i aint had owt to do with haha __________________________________ Thanks
Nick
however there i now enough torque to push the WORLD out of the way if he does sink so fit some tractor tyres and floor it XD
stunning conversion to be honest.. think you can make one fit in my vitara? __________________________________ I live by 2 sayings:

The feeling you get when you first smash your shaft out, is one you will never forget.. especially if you do it in front of 10 guys.
ill sit on top of the thing, and have it mid mounted XD, saves me doing a body lift then lol __________________________________ I live by 2 sayings:
