go to a petrol or keep the diesel

Post by cruiserkid »

i have a bj70 landcruiser with a 3b diesel with a t3 garret turbo on it.
i am thinking about putting a 3.8 litre vt commondore motor in and either turboing it or supercharging it.
i want enough power to turn 35's.
what should i do? :?:

I'll answer - depends what you want
Get up and go or low down torque
I'm a diesal man
But decide that and your sweet
Either's good for offroad work - Just diesal's won't die on ya
got 420000kms on my clock and the old 2H is still goin'
I doubt a petty would
You can't kill a 60... Believe me... I've tried...
In the end, you can... drive a gu now... still want a 60

i'm confused. You already have more than enough power to turn 35" tyres. I don't see any problem with your current setup.

just from wathching all the guys at the ateco challenge the other week it seems that you need lots power to pull up those big hills fast, i dont want to die half way i want full power all the way.
thats for the input though youse have helped alot.
i might just play around the gearing
