6.5l chev turbo diesel

[sld86]

Has anybody got one of these in their gq as my 4.2 just blew up on the dyno and im looking at the idea of putting one in. Just looking 4 the pros and cons with them as a few mechanics have said itd be a waste of money fixing the old motor if im after power and torque with reliability

[Mulisha]

Well u may wanna do a search but do you know how much they cost to fit and buy? I heard "bogged" saying like $18K+.

Quote from Brunswicks agent in Melb $23-24,000 drive in drive out, engineered and all.
that was going into a 2.8 GU if I could find one cheap at the time... but I didnt :(


Edit - the TURBO verison of the chev wont fit, the firewall is in the way, the 6.5 NA will fit...

Re the turbo not fitting when i spoke 2 brunswick diesel direct he has one in his gq and said they nilly drop straight in aslong as you have atleast 50mm body lift. Are these motors reliable as ive heard they make big power stock for a diesal ofcourse as if im going to be spending 20g getting motor and lockers fitted i want it to last me out

[Stu'sBeast]

Try these guys, I spoke to them a few months back and it is about $18-19k

Yeh thats who ive spoken 2 about them are they reliable and what kind of power figures are people getting also fuel consumption

[bogged]

ask them if they have an agent in your area. they have one here in Melb, I went and drove his GQ with it in.

fuckin stunning torque. but he was smoking pole, wanted $38k for his GQ with the conversion in it, bog stock on 31AT's with stock suspension.
