Lankytim Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 That looks thoroughly enjoyable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadworkUK Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 That's actually a flipping superb conveyance. The old 5-pot Merc lump is as reliable as the tide, and it won't be any slower than any other P4. Plus Range Rover-style driving position and bench seats! I'm various kinds of jealous right now.

Dj_efk Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Given the work done to install the current setup, assuming all the mountings etc. are the same then I would have thought it’d be simplest just to upgrade to a Merc turbo lump?

bangernomics Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Those 5 pots can be turbocharged and the power safely increased. TB turbos did lots of old hymers and the turbos were the same as used in the earliest sprinter 5 pots that also ran the same box as you already have. Great purchase Joey spud 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightBulbFun Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 if this is the 5 Pot version of the 4 pot Lump in Zel's camper then im sure it will have no problem doing motorway cruising (given how Zels camper seems to do just fine!) as @MorrisItalSLX says bonus points if it can/you run it on Veg/used chip oil for maximum shonkyness!

DaveDorson Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 That's right up my street that is. I'd bin off the Mondeo and use that every day, it'd look bloody superb in the works car park, I'd seek out the new Tesla Model 3 and park it next to it for extra points.
