Another newbie with an awesome Terrano

Post by ChurchurDan »

Hi, I thought i better introduce myself. Im Daniel and I have a 1990 Terrano that I have had for 8 years and it has been the most reliable thing I have ever owned. It has been the wifes car until I brought her an R50 Terrano, now it is mine.
It is a TD27t 5 speed, I just put a subaru intercooler on it and removed the egr system. Next is a bigger exhaust and maybe turbo upgrade. I am doing upgrades as money allows and when i get motivated. Long term plans include 31 tyres, maybe a winch and some lockers. Nothing to serious as I will be keeping it road legal and just want it to take the family camping off the beaten path and maybe a bit of hunting.
Also im an auto electrician and am no stranger to modified vehicles as I have modified nearly all the cars I have owned in the last 15 years.

Yes, they're good aren't they? Only the gearbox thats let me down so far, but always been able to drive it home still..
I can see why you went for a R50 after having a good run with the d21.

The water pipes are not connected as I don't have a radiator for it, hopefully get one this weekend. I only finished it today and need to get some better pics as my phone doesn't like glare.

Welcome Daniel

Tidy intercooler install.
Still mucking around with mine, but after queens birthday the motor pretty much comes out. Gets a bit of a birthday itself.
Just have a number of changes to make to it such as the new top mount turbo headers, then I can realign the intercooler and snorkel.
