A commer with boost

Its all go here at the moment had to put it on hold for a short while as im building an extension on my house. But at least i will have another double garage when its done;)
Dont worry it will get completed i havent spent all this time so far for nothing:D
Im also getting married in about 6 weeks and my camper is a guest at my wedding so the original engine needs to stay firmly in place for now;)

Just blowing the dust off this thread as its been a while! Now my wedding is out the way and the house extension is nearly complete ive been mulling over a bigger diesel conversion. I pick the donor up next week. Im going to try and fit a 2.4 turbo diesel Isuzu lump and gearbox in my camper and carry on with the 1.8tdi for my panel van as i think it will be a nice conversion but power and torque wise the 2.4td should be great.I will pop some pics up of the donor when I pick it up;)

It got about as much power as a 12volt hair dryer. They belong in boats not cars or vans. hows the perkins running mark?? the rear crank seal any better now?;)

Nice little compact unit,the blocks are very short and compact for the CCs of power. Snotted off a few vw type 25s on the way home;)

Anyone know what its coming out of?? (Steve and Rich cant play) lol

Nissan Caravan / Isuzu Fargo / homy... Oh they are all the same! :) .........

I have the 3.2turbo diesel which is a fantastic van. Goes anywhere ( over anything ) ...
Also have the 2 lithe twin cam turbo petrol 'Z' engine version which is pretty good too.....

I just need a good rootes...
 
Your all right really its a vauxhall midi van but hardley any of the 2.4td models had a floor mounted gearlever,they were all colum change. Cant wait to pull it out and pop it in my engine bay jig to suss it all out:)

You will have to hold it a good while longer yet as im still bob the builder. Not much left to do now on the build besides hang a few doors and tile my garage floor;) Then ive got to finish off my resto on my mk5 transit 150 before the camper can even get in the garage.But before that ive got to do a lancia delta integrale evo resto. There all in the queue. Got to squeeze in a mk5 transit halmark for a front and rear valance replacement as well;) it flustrates me as I really want to get on it now. Fingers crossed should be in and running by end of the year. But you never know whats round the corner;)
