Some more on the 606 conversion. Using the NA intake manifold, it clears the 603 oil filter housing, (I've read it's not the case with the turbo manifold) which allowed me to use the 603 oil cooler, deleting the in pan cooler on the 606. Welded a turbo drain anticipating boost later. Welded an...

I guess I did do some more adventures with the 603 before it gave up, also made a hitch carrier for my ktm, for the places the rover cant go! Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Here's a video of it running. Still need to build the turbo manifold, intake, ect. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Well, as this truck continues to evolve, and improve, the om603 did what #14heads do, and cracked,not finding a replacement stateside easily, i upgraded to a om606. I found a good NA for cheap, plan to set full load adjustments on pump and add 603 turbo to hopefully get around 180-200hp. But for...

My roof rack is nearing completion. Just need to find a suitable floor material. I'm happy with how well it turned out. Next will be some limb risers to the brush bar Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Nice KTM. I've got a 500 exc-f. Looking at a hitch setup for my Disco.....[emoji848] Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Also got to try her out in some slick clay/mud trails. The all terrains were lacking, and this was prior to the locker. My brother in law joined me in his 4wd tercel on super swampers. Even had to snatch me out at one point! Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

I've been contemplating an air to water cooler which would allow a small cooler up front and negate the scoop. But for now, I may even try a small electric fan to aid at low speeds. I've just installed a eaton/detroit locker and begun building my roof rack system. Been doing some more...

The OM series engines have a filter housing for the oil filter, the element comes straight out the top, its located at the rear of the engine directly below the shroud/cowl. I now have some of that door edge molding stuff over the cut edge to make it look better Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Here's a startup video when I first got it running, there was no exhaust so it was exiting at the turbo. But I swear I can stand a nickel on edge on this valve cover, it's a very smooth engine Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

I have one, yet to install. I figure any bit to help would be nice, had no intercooler before! Also been looking at possibly just a small 8" fan on it, for times when I'm at low speeds where the scoop wouldn't help Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

How it looks now, with the hood scoop and roof basket Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Some more pics from my trip up the oregon coast to Port Angeles Washington. Also crashed Ian Johnsons (of extreme 4x4 on spike t.v. fame) 2018 Cummins repower tour. There was a defender and discovery with 2.8 cummins engines Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

I'm using the factory HP22 ZF trans. Theres no way to route piping past the radiator due to my dual battery setup, and the size of the radiator. I may use a water to air cooler in the future. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

I'm nearing completion on my dream diesel build, ending a nearly 15yr battle against time, finances, willpower, ect to finish. The truck started as a super clean 50th anniversary LSE, which I pulled the 4.0 out of, (still not sure what to do with it, maybe an MGB GT?) The donor engine came...
