I so need someone like you here Wax so I can do the same thing to my truck, the poor wee '27 is just not big enough for pulling the caravan :cry:

Its a bolt in procedure to put the 32 in there so its an easy fit.
Other than removing the engine which is a pain in the butt. The td27 goes well with a bit of boost in it as well

I know about added boost, mines pushing 17PSI but it is too gutless on the hills with the caravan in tow.

Finding a good engine would be a mission as I am not too mechanically minded in that region :? I am considering on trading in for a R50 Regulus and starting from there.

Was pretty close to the same with regard to the gearing. The qd32 gearbox is a bolt in. Not changes at all

Making the exhaust manifold was the hardest thing on the turbo conversion on my truck. But boy idid it make it get up and go

Hi,
Just wondering if that QD32 manifold will fit under the hood of a WD21 with no body lift? Planning to add a Bighorn intercooler to it (which I already have).
1995 LBYD21, 31" ATs, 2" lift, 2.5" exhaust
