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

Ok people, move along. Nothing to see here. Thank you, move along.

Re: The wax terrano
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

Re: The wax terrano
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

Re: The wax terrano
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).

Re: The wax terrano
What are you after. Im wrecking the whole thing
Re: The wax terrano
looking for an intake. not quite set on it fully, but ive got a Subaru intercooler going in mine (still isnt finished lol,) and think it would be easier with the qd32 manifold.
Re: The wax terrano
qd32 manifold is so much better than the orginal
Re: The wax terrano
nice job on your truck mate. Im moving home back to bendigo ozzie before the end of the year and probably bringing my truck with me and will be looking at doing alot more upgrades what kind of money are they after for a qd these days over there i found a jap import place where i can get one landed in oz for around 1200. Im probably stupid bringing it with me but the terranos are a good size
Re: The wax terrano
Qd32 are hard to find in Aussie for some reason. I don't think they break enough and so the ont end up in the wreckers
