						Read my post again, without reading something else in between the lines. Remember also which other engines Land Rover has actually designed and manufactured, before the TD5 - those are the benchmarks I was referring to.
My point was (staying on topic with OP) that the TD5 was well engineered and should stand up to considerable power upgrade providing properly done without going to silly rpm.
The 300Tdi linage goes well back to much earlier engines, while the TD5 was a new design with a great deal of thought given to it - and a very few simple things that are not so good, as we all know.

						Sorry I don't recall, but I did post a link to a long thread that has a lot of detail.
I'm well aware of that rat rod.
I haven't looked at the build thread for a long time, but IIRC the conrod is the support for the steering column (not hanging off it.
Also check the (dummy) chain driven crank handle on the side.
Did you check out the videos of the other crazy stuff welderup has built - one that comes to mind is the caravan that does wheelies?
There is one somewhere on the net I think but I havnt looked at there videos for.awhile they also have a website with photos and info...there is a video of them injecting some description of gas into the compressor whilst at full boost on a dyno and the thing almost takes off and sounds like it reved way past what a diesel usually does
Bush65 I am asuming that the motor used in the rat rod is a 5.9L 6cyl cummins 6bt? Do you have any specs on it or know anything off the top of your head ?
