yep - whatever you build yourself.

And then expect it to overheat at the drop of a hat etc etc..... The HD engine isn't really suitable without a lot of ( expensive ) work IMO.

Overall its an expensive option.

It seemed like a much better idea when I started it than it does now.

As said, nothing will bolt up easily to the Roza 1600 000. :D

And in regards to your title, the turbo off a rocky does not bolt up and would probably not be suitable anyway.

mighty mouse, what makes you say that a turbo will cause the engine to overheat at the drop of a hat??
my turbo made no difference what so ever to the running tempreature of the engine.

Experience..... but my problems were with low speed sustained off road type work - wasn't fantastic on really hot days but crawling was a killer.

Yes a bit different - a lot slower ( I've got transfer reduction gears as well ).

I've a PWR air/water intercooler that I never fitted to the diahatsu engine in the vehicle....... any pics of your system ? Would be very interested for my latest install. Space is getting VERY tight - I'm fitting a Mazda BPD - just couldn't get the HD's problems under control - overheating, broken rods, bores moving etc etc......

P.S. the link to your pics is broken :cry:

That works..... I couldn't keep the intercooler radiator clear there... have enough trouble with mud clogging the radiator and its about 300mm+ higher than yours ATM.

Have to squeeze it in somewhere though......

Very different types of use I'd say - yours is clean and straight mine is, well lets just say "well used". :oops:

hahaha.. my pics dont show the dents from rolling over in the dunes or bashing through tree's to my favourite fishing spots. ;)

it mainly gets a lot of beach/sand action, esperance has lots of them to offer.
