I have canned the previous idea of converting to Diesel power. and will look closely at installing a 2.6lt that runs on unleaded, my questions are as follows
1. what sigma/pajero/ or magna would i need to find a compatable engine [year of manufacture , man or auto] to make it a bolt up install to my 5 speed box ?
2. will i also need to make or bye a body lift kit to fit the larger engine in place of the stock 2lt , and where does one find a body lift kit ?
3. will installing a 2.6 require me to visit the dept of motor reistration vehicle inspection division in Sout Australia [regency park].
4. has anyone here done this type of convetion and thinks it was worth the effort ?
The 1984 L300 4x4 i have suits my purposes perfectly, the body, trim and running gear are all in excellent condition, and i am reluctant to upgrade to delica just to gain a little horspower. we are planning a holiday over to perth early next year and to have a little more power would be just great........... but if all else fails i will stick to the 2lt and hope the wind is going the right way. :)

Have you tried modding the 2lt for more power, Ive not long installed a racing air intake from a landrover disco v8 to mine, removed all the exhaust recycling rubbish that comes as standard and ended up with a noticable increase in power for very little effort.

If you need specs for the convertion i can supply them, try goole with k&n filters and see what comes up.

Hope this helps

thanks for the reply and advise, i allready have a set of extractors and will disconect most of the polution works from engine, could you provide some info/pics of you air cleaner set up.

Here it is for anyone else that might want to convert the sirius 2.0 in the L300 to a real natural aspiration. :grin:
