The isuzu is the same. Even in - 10c it starts fine, just takes a minute to smooth out. I have glow plugs, just never hooked them up.

The grid heaters are an airflow restriction so better without if you can still start.

Are you 12v or 24?
My isuzu is 24v start and uses a series /parallel switch for starting.

Hi fella. I used the standard filter in the standard place.. Its got a 4" outlet, so I used a 4" to 3" 90deg reducer then two exhaust 90's welded together to get round to the turbo.. Picture should help.. Contemplating a Cummins then?

There's a separate thread "Monster 6 Turbo Diesel into 101", should b a pic in there...

No, thinking the box/filter I used is a bit restrictive. If the standard box works for you, it's bound to supply enough air for my puny engine lol

Yeah, the std 101 air filter is like those found on Tractors/trucks.. Should be fine up to 6 litre. Tdi fitment?
