Thread: Monster 6 Turbo Diesel into a 101.

Agreed - fine where it is. The standard exhaust on these run out the side, only behind the back wheel. It is still not behind where you can open the canvas up, but is legal.

agreed! i love it! nice work!

This is why I require confirmation.
ADR 42-1 is from the third edition ADR's. Mostly it applies to vehicles manufactured on of after 1st July 1992.
Due to the age of the vehicle, the second edition ADR's apply. There is no ADR 42 in the second edition.
You must apply the correct rule, standard or regulation to the vehicle.

hi sitec


I think where you run your exhaust is perfect looks greatlook forward to when you start it up keep up great work you are on same wave lengh as me on exhaust system
cheers cooee

Well, after more fires and finally 'hitting a brick wall' and running out of go on thurs I had a few hours in the shed (which has lots of space now as Bojans stuff is no longer in it!!!!). The rad is back out and in the car ready to be fitted with a larger core. (Any input as to what core people use would be great). So it was time to se if the intercooler will actually fit in the hole provided... It does... Just. I have it clamped in place to see that it clears the steering arm.. which it does. I've also removed the gear lever and chopped the linking arm and am going to mount the lever where I want it and glue a piece of tube in. It would have been right had I not shifted the engine back 100mm to make room for an engine driven fan. Right decision tho, as with the intercooler up front, there's no room for an electric fan!

that intercooler is a spot on fit!

As far as rad goes my Cummins runs fine on a full width land rover rad with 2" ports (when i had the standard rad the small ports meant it ran slightly hotter) rarely gets upto half temp unless i give it pain (45psi of boost) even in our scorching 28degC summer thats without a fan
will sit on half if not slightly more when working it hard at low speed offroad but the fan will keep it to around 1/3rd on gauge...

Basically any upgraded rad suitable for keeping a tweaked rover v8 cold in your environment will keep the cummins happy provided you have it modded to 2" ports so flow isnt restricted

Cheers. Yeah, plan to get the ports opened up to sut the top outlet on the 6Bt, and get a 4 core center fitted. I'm also going to run a full time fan. Know it'll b a little noisy but better than being hot. The borrowed V8 I had seemed to want to run warm, but it did have enough go to pull 3.5 diffs so was doing well! Hopefully have my gear back in a few days, so will be able to rebuild the transfer case!

I also had mine baffled so both ports were on the drivers side to suit the cummins, made piping it up alot easier!
cant wait to see your gearbox plan coming together
