Thread: D1 diesel engine conversion options?

INter674, I already have LPG fitted to the vehicle, which is perfect for the city, but when you are paying $1.25/L it's not actually any cheaper to run on gas than on petrol. Add to that the fact that I can travel 700km down the road without coming accross anywhere that sells LPG, and then only 1 that sells unleaded, and my issues are more about fuel range than fuel cost. I am about to embark on a trip next week out from town and through the Northern Kimberley which will involve more than 600km of (what I'm lead to believe) reasonably difficult 4wding, and it would be nice to do this without carrying extra jerry cans on the roof. These types of trips aren't necessarily isolated instances, it is more of the norm when you live in an area this isolated. On a different tangent, it even spreads to the water where most trips in my 13' tinny involve day trips of over 100km. I went out with a mate in his boat for a few days recently, and we travelled several 100km without seeing anyone else but the other boat that we went with. Isolation can be a wonderful thing, but just maybe not with the limited range of a thirsty V8.
By the way, what kind of power/torque can you produce from a 300tdi and still retain economy and longevity? Can you get much more torque than the V8? Because that may be the path that I need to look at for the future.

Have you looked on the M&D Engineering website, plenty of conversions for landy's Land Rover conversions - M&D Engineering
