Re: help need a td27t motor
I'm about to do this swap soon so I'm really keen to hear what was the hard part and what you would do differently. also about the wiring the alternator look like to be just a straight plug in job but the diesel pump has different wires on it how did ya get on with that ?
Re: help need a td27t motor
ok this is how it went. First of all i cant realy think of a easyer way todo it. Ive been told you drop the front diff down. But i think its better to take the whole thing out then you have plenty of room. apart from that its a staright bolt in.I do have a plug that comes off the td27 injector pump that my ute doesnt have a plug for but its running with out it and runs good as. The only thing is my rev counter doesnt go anymore.
Oh yea i had to use my power steer pump as the bracketing for it didnt suit the td27

Re: help need a td27t motor
the diesel pump wires at the back of the pump pluged straight into my mine. the wires ontop of the td27 pump you wont beable to hook up i dont know what the are for someone may know. It does run so mustnt be important??

Re: help need a td27t motor
That's awesome thanks for that, in adding a intercooler to mine as well as a new dump pipe as the terrano one is the shittiest one Ive seen. its only about 35mm deep so i think it quite a restriction
