Have we already discussed this? If not why? It seems like all he has really done (engine wise) is bigger turbo and modified pump. Maybe other small things but as far major modifications that seems to be about it.
Would it be that hard to build something remotely close to this?
And by that I mean build it the way we often do... by Modding the pumps ourselves and taking turbos off other vehicles etc.

Ugh nvm. Just read that other thread about these hunks of ***. I will return to my slow 1.6 TD head hung low and filled with shame for considering such a headache.

Too. Hard. Can't hack together with junkyard parts. I hate it.

yup, an oldie but goodie... one of the tracks is in Finland and the other in Latvia (I've been at that track). The long winter nights in northern Europe just lead to endless tinkering in their garages in order to enjoy the nearly endless summer days.

Late 80s body, early 80s nissan SD-22 diesel swap.  Never before have I seen such a great concept with excellent parts so poorly executed.

Despite the lack of turbo, thats pretty darn cool. Do you have any installation pictures? What transmission do you use?
