8/5/2023 0 Comments Manta car 1950s![]() Isn't there someone already smoking round in a 1700 Isuzu TD engined Manta? Sounds like a plan! How about the twin turbo V6 diesel from the new Vectra?! I'd have thought the Ecotec diesel would fit easily with you know what, seeing as it's the same family as the petrol Ecotec.

Like any project, you address it in small stages, do what you can yourself / learn and delegate / pay for the stuff you cannot.Īny info / recommendations re. There will be the need for fabrication / wiring etc. ![]() I want to make an 'alternate fuel' vehicle that does not look like it was designed and driven by anoraks. Swapping a diesel into a petrol equivalent is a huge PITA, but does not mean it cannot / should not be done. The origin HP for theĬars was under 100 HP, so with the usual mods to diesel I am aiming for boosting this to 120+ HP mark. I like the (pretty) '70-75 Manta and I want to drop in a modern Ecotecĭiesel to run alternate fuel (BD/Dino blend). I decided to go ahead and make what I want. You can pull some very respectable power out of the old MB diesels if you spend money / time), but I am not an MB Fan and prefer Opel technology. I don't want a new car and ufortunately there are very few attractive classic diesels out there apart from maybe MBs. I want a smaller (lighter) car as I do not like 4x4s very much. The biodiesel worked out fine (but not without its problems) and generally performs well, with a 50/50 blend preferred. Lots of fun (lots of torque), but the Nissan has to go. ![]() I have spent 3 years experimenting with biodiesel and running my Nissan 4x4 DTi. I just joined this site, which seems to be a good place to learnĪbout later GM/Opel/ Vauxhalls for my 2008-9 project ![]()
