Hey guys
Just doing a build on a TD42 turbo conversion ,does anyone have a 30mm pin conrod out of a TD42T they could do a couple of measurements around the l/end pin eye for me ,i have a suspicion that they just bore the 28 mm pin non turbo rods for the 30mm bushes found in turbo rods ,any help appreciated.

nope. two different rods. same as td27-tengines.

Hey
Cheers the stroke and b/e are the same ,i have an engine reconditioning shop here in Tauranga ,just wanting to know if they have more material on the L/E to accomodate the 30mm bush than the NA rod ??easy job to pin bore the little end as it looks like it will take it easy ,just be nice to compare

cant help you with a pic but you want post 1993 rods, that is when UD retooled the casts for the td engines using the bigger gudgeon diameter.

Thanks mate ,,,,yeah managed to get some measurement of a turbo rod ,slightly thicker in pin end ,,,,looking like maybe a set of aftermarket H beams might be the way to go
