Diesel

Been pretty lazy with the updates here lately.  Got a list of excuses, but short version is, I haven’t done anything notable on the Trueno, or Starlet. Other than smashing up a few cones; below.

I haven’t been completely lazy though. Finished helping my brother, with a few upgrades to his truck a few weeks back.   I’ll post this backwards since everyone is too lazy to click the continue reading  link.   Quick vid someone requested, sounds pretty good for a dirty old Nissan.  excuse the weak wheel/tyre combo

Gave it back shortly after that^, before i broke it.  Ok, now for whats making all the noise.  Built new exhaust manifold:

Bro mounted up an intercooler and i filled in the gaps.

Also thanks to everyone taking pictures.  links to full galleries at bottom of page

Inlet progress

Finally rolled a new plenum that I was happy with so trimmed it back to the angle I wanted. Its only a slight rake of about 15mm from one end to the other.  So with everything looking ok I welded the runners to the plenum plate, tidied up the ports then welded on the plenum itself.

Here’s the ports tidied up and all smoothed out…
