si (black8driver) is gonna be turbo dieseling my chevette when it becomes his very soon! 1.7 izusu turbo I believe (from cavelier) I've been thinking this would make a really neat conversion too recently, my daily astra uses the isuzu td, and I reckon it must be able to be mated to the manta getrag 5 speed for some rwd economy torqueyness it bolts strait on to the carlton/omega/manta 1.8 box... easy.. si

Whats the RWD option for a small TDi? If it was the one on UK Hotrods, it seems to have disappeared. It was on there in the garage scene, but he clears it out occassionally to make room for new stuff. Currently breaking an Omega 2.5 TD, good engine and box if anybodies interested, they're a big old lump mind! Sean

For awhile now i've thought about a dolomite with a pug diesel mated to the LDV pilot/sherpa box but i would use the 2.1 version from the citroen XM or pug 406.This would use a front mounted intercooler from the Xantia running on cooking oil with a kit from Dieselveg.com.Running a pug 306 hdi everyday i have become acustomed to the vertues of the "heavy oil",the torque is right where you need it and if i thrash the car which is most of the time i can get 540 miles to a tankfull of diesel and 630 if i drive like a pensioner on his hols.I'm of to the scrappy tommorow to find a pilot/sherpa box as this thread and the price of fuel has rekindled my idea. ;D
