Those are very helpful piccys of the DSR install. Up in Canada we have been considering this new manifold.turbo for the TD42 but wanted to see more pics of the install.

1. if I pm an e-mail are you able to send larger piccys?
2. Did you maufacture your own dump pipe?
3. Why did you choose the V-band?
4. What bits did the kit come with besides the manifold and turbo?
5. Did you take the sump off to install the oil drain.
6. Do you think there will be a heat problem with the dump so close to the firewall.
7. too many questions...time for a beer.

Made a few change's to the back of the truck, touring and camping styles.

Chucked together a little cabinet that has some storage compartments below it and makes better use of the space in the back



It just slides in on the rails on the existing cupboards and clips in. It slides out and can be replaced with the bed if required.



Handy little storage compartments




Its a bit rough, but good enough

bit rough? man your the epitomy of perfecionist

was thinking the same thing

wonder if he will make me something like that for the back of the 80, I don't mind if its "a bit rough" just so long as he knows I will be paying a rough price for them

No back seat for the little toddlers seat? When is that going in?

[muskie]

any feedback on how the turbos are running now they have been in a while? also did you guys change the grade of engine oil you use?? i have bought the manifold and turbo etc which i will be fitting in my new truck i am building, which is taking longer than i planed

[MNC]

That is an awesome use of space. I'm guessing that the SWB doesn't give you enough room to sleep comfortably ontop of that unit?

As others have said it looks real tidy.

Pic's = 1,000 words

Engine bay


Room for future intercooler


Oil feed




Sump oil drain





Dump pipe




Injector pump with TD27 aneroid


Goes pretty good now

did you take the sump off to weld the fitting on or leave it on??
