I have only searched (unsuccessfully) on the internet, and have not delved into any actual vehicles to see just what is involved electrically.

At best, a manual gearbox version would have the ecu and various engine sensors in a relatively simple harness. At worst it might be integrated into the dash and instrument wiring.

I suspect, given its use in more commercial orientated rather than luxury vehicles (Isuzu trucks and Rodeo utes), and also because it is also available in an industrial version, the engine management system might be easier than for some other common rail diesels.

I agree with others, that it would be difficult to justify $$$ for a diesel engine conversion based on fuel savings.

I haven't found any vehicle modifications yet which stand fiscal scrutiny. So why start now?:)
