I have this crazy idea to maybe scip a Lexus coversion and go straight for VW Toureg V6 TDi or Maybe :?: :?:
Anyone ever looked at that and what is the possibility that it can work :?: :?: :?:

OORRR maybe if funds allow a new Ford Ranger 3.2 :?: :?:

How difficult is it to convert a petrol to diesel or will the actual lay out cost be too high :?: :?:

Just wondering :o :o

Why the Ford 3.2 if Mitsu has a better 3.2?
Any conversion can be done, with the right skills and budget.
The electronics are the challenge, that is why the Lexus engine is used with the Spitronic ECU.
If you find an engine, make sure it includes all the looms, sensors etc.
