Thread: ZF 5HP24 into a P38 possible ?

I know when my motor finally dies, the 1UZ will be at the top of my conversion list.

Because they are physically bigger than a big block across the heads, Boone is tuning the standards ecu, aftermarket stuff sucks, they go.......at 6500rpm

Thanks Hoges

Very interesting. Some years ago looked at putting one in a sprintcar frame. A mate had a full front cut from Japan. He was going to use it in a street machine but time got the better of him.

a quick read of our L322 forum and all is not rosy with the 5HP,,
anything around 400nm will eventually blow it up.
it does have a nice low first to get the van off the line, and 5th is a poofteenth lower(around .9 would be ideal).
When this one stops I might rebuild a 5 instead of the 4. It should all just bolt up,,,

Pedro, check post #11 with the response I got from Ashcrofts... not a good look..TC issues and no reasonable way of controlling the auto box in a P38 /D2 etc

Found this ...extensive and several pics. Same gearbox went into the BMW X5. A Beemer owner rebuilt his ...X5 4.4i trans rebuild/repair accomplished (long post) - Xoutpost.com

cheers

I wonder how long it will be before the 2.7dsl and 6speed auto can be had from a territory...

That in my mind would be the ultimate combination.

FWIW: a thought provoking article from Subaru re. diesel engines vs petrol. Also contains a simple example of cost-benefit comparison of petrol vs diesel.

Benefits Of A Diesel Engine | Subaru Australia

Has implications for high priced European diesel powered luxomobiles which just run back and forth to the shops...

A retrofit diesel/6sp drivetrain is certainly appealing... but on the basis of the above is never going to be financially viable unless you have catastrophic failure of the current petrol setup ...and you can get a 2.7 TDV6 /6 sp replacement at reasonable price AND you can solve the electronic interface issues with the existing BECM... then again perhaps one might swipe the BECM / ABS brake system etc from the Territory as well as all th eother stuff..and ...on and on it goes...by which time RR TDV8s may be appearing at reasonable price

Hey Hoges you should talk to Highrr on this forum he has a P38 with Ls1 in it. Very neat job too! done in Qld I think he said, with integration to BECM etc!
