Well anyway I've got most of it put together.
Intake manifold is a major PITA. Required a crap load of grinding to get the compressor housing to fit. The modified stock turbo oil feed end needed the flange cut away just to sink the bolt head down more to clear the bottom of the manifold. Would kill to have a 115 manifold!
Hooked air filter to turbo, and turbo piped direct to intake. The landcruiser air filter is pretty big and hogs all the space for the W/A IC.
Fitted the old radiator with intentions to take the car for a bit of a run but the oil cooler doesn't fit (also noticed a slight oil leak...) so think I'll just go ahead and get a new radiator. Bit strange as my old wagon which the cooler is from had the normal W123 radiator and it fitted...
Have run the engine for a few seconds now and then but there's quite a substantial leak from the T3 extension to manifold join so I have to tear apart everything before I carry on, also it's a bit reluctant to start and very cackly sounding so I'll be taking the pump off to re-time.
1978 300D, 373,000km... OM617.912 with a Holset HX30W, 7.5mm IP, 711.113 5 speed (project car, 7 years off the road and counting ;/)
1977 250 270,000km (parts car)
1977 300D (ex 280) 500,000km
1981 240D 498,000
1975 HJ45 ???,000

Haha. I just don't like the idea of plastic....seen cars overheat because the hose necks cracked, and a generic alu radiator is about the same cost anyway.
