[@soundmedicine1210]

beautiful work and thanks for taking the time to video it all

[@darrenlives]

@@soundmedicine1210 hey thanks so much, I do have a final vid coming out, unfortunately I’ve found the original turbo is leaking oil, so I’m gonna have to replace it, but that’s life, aside from that it runs lovely 👌🏽👍🏽🍻

[@soundmedicine1210]

@@darrenlives great looking forward for it! Inspiring stuff :D

What a great series of videos, just spent the day on and off watching them. Would be great to see an update on the van.

[@darrenlives]

Hi, thank you for the kind feed back, I have had many messages On a final how it runs vid and I have been meaning to get it done. Bare with and I’ll sort one out.

Also I managed to get a steel bottom sump for mine from S-tune for reassurance 😅 thought it’s worth a mention lol

[@darrenlives]

That’s a good find, the engine looks high enough now to be honest, but I’d be interested to see the steal sump, dark side also do a low level one. I’m just kinda done spending at the moment lol

Amazing project. How did it end up?

[@darrenlives]

Hi, thank you for the kind words. I highly recommend the conversion, van runs unreal, can accelerate from 50 to 70 easy with no problem keeping up with traffic on the motorway, I even tow with it. Infact it is a little to fast but it does get great miles, I’m mostly ever in 5th gear. You end up going to fast for 6th really. New vid coming.

Great Project, please could you share about the final result, how does it perform compare with the original engine? does it climb better the hills (without having to shift to 3rd gear)?

[@darrenlives]

Hello mate, yes I am currently in the process of doing a final vid of how it has all worked out, will be live in the next week or so. Cheers for viewing the project.

Hi did you finish the final video? I'm keen to see how it is as I'm about to do this in mine. Also what was the issue with the brakes in the end and does it all work now? Cheers!

[@mrcez4692]

Hello,do you have a final video of how it goes? Looks a good job,Ive done a pd150 conversion myself ,ive done things alot different,it was many sleepless nights working things out😂 mine isnt too far off,its just getting time to finish it thats all. It should be running around 180bhp as it has a hybrid turbo 😂😂

[@darrenlives]

Hello mate. I’m working on a final vid, I’ve been using it a bit hear and there, but due to winter I took all the water out. The engine is incredible, I was on the motorway the other day and it does 70mph. Easy and will and has excelerated to 80 to over take in 6th gear. I love it and you will be very happy with it 👍🏽👌🏽

[@sariahlim]

What a great job! Way past my skill set. Wish I had a lump like that in mine!

[@darrenlives]

@@sariahlim hello mate, appreciate your kind word, was a little challenge, but not to bad to be honest, I love the vans but they are so under powers, this now accelerates like a car, it’s around 210hp 420ftlb, not that you need it but I tow with it and it really helps. I have full info on the build as well as the vids on here, so if you need help just shout out 👌🏽🍻👍🏽

Fair play mate great to see it out on the road!. Mine is up and running too now just got to put the intercooler together and test it on the road this weekend 😬. What was wrong with the shafts ?

[@darrenlives]
