a better use for my alpina rep alloys from my bmw? next on the list is some gsi bumpers , lowered a tad at the front and a new tailgate.
is the principle the same with a turbo diesel, can i shorten the actuator rod a tad for a little bit more power? will a 2wd cossie intercooler make any difference as i have one in my shed ...

 

what wheels have you got on the bmw now?

 

The wheels are cool.

 

i was led to believe its a fuel increase you need to go quicker on a diesel but could be wrong.

 

the bmw has vauhall 14" steelies with plastic wheel trims....ill be getting a new set for the bmw soon.

 

Wheels look cool.

I think its the amount of fuel that limits the power of a diesel.

 

there is a screw with a locking collar on what im told is the fuel pump. i need to give it a turn and a half apparently...

 

Sleeper look then, nice one.

 

i wonder if the engine will also fit into the van....

 

That sounds about right. A mate had a Nova TD and he had to weld the overboost valve in the inlet manifold shut once he started getting some boost into it.

 

You havent been over to migweb yet then?

There's a guy called RC who's been doing the same model van as you, he's had the 2.0 redtop and the 2.5 v6 engine in his.......

 

ive just shortened the actuator rod about 4mm. im not sure if its the arse dyno effect but it does seem to pull better up to 60/70. i might tyr another few milimetres.
the fuel screw is jambed solid and wont budge, ill try some wd40 over night.

 

What Engine is it, is it the izuzu lump?

If so it might be worth a squiz at this..
