I remember speaking to you before, you mentioned gear ration...
I am not to fond of 33" tyres so want to stick to 31" what will the best ratio be?
Fuel consumption in town? Cruising speed on the open road?...
Please give me more detail if you don't mind?

Re: All Diesel SFA owners
I did the first 2.5 tdi conversion 7 years ago, the 5.5 is a high revving diesel, it performs better than the KZTE, but the KZ wins on low down torque. The best ratio for the SFA with 31" tyres is 4.11 for the Ford and 3.77 for the KZTE. They are std "off the shelf" ratios.
I have done both a few times and i run a KZ at the moment, but for outright performance for the least money, the Ford wins.

Re: All Diesel SFA owners
Sal baie mooi werk, maar dis nog nie koste effektief nie, hulle raak al goedkoper.
Die KZ / TDI wek met n meganiese pomp, maar die D4D moet die hele harnas en ECU sowel as sleutels en transponder bykry.

Re: All Diesel SFA owners
Ek kyk na die volgende;
Brandstof verbruik
bykomende modifikasies
Ek ry gewoonlik so 120 - 130 maar ek wil nie sukkel om verby te gaan nie.
En ek hou nie daarvan om hom te moet roei deur die ratte nie.
Hoppy vir die KZ moet ek eerder ook die KZ se G-box kry?

Re: All Diesel SFA owners
Low range werk nog 100%, daar is baie meer wringkrag onder.
Die KZ gearbox werk beter, maar die gewone een werk ook as jy nie te veel 5e rat gebruik nie.

Re: All Diesel SFA owners
Het sopas my 2.8 diesel turbo (3L) (wat niks makeer het nie) uit gehaal en na n Lexus V8 gegaan. Rede vir dit was die 2.8 het so 7km/l gegee en is n donkie wil nie eers weet hoe erg n non turbo is nie. Ek het 33" bf's op en gps top spoed was so 135km/h. Sleep n brakha off road trailer en tops so 90km/h. Opdraandes hardloop. Hy. Warm as daar n air con radiator voor die water radiator is. En dan die grootste probleem verby steek is amper non existing. Off road heel ok met onder langse torq. So vir die swak brandstof verbruik met die min krag is dit n NO GO! Die ou diesels moet elke 5k gediens word (n slep as jy baie ry en koste oneffektief). Volgens almal behoort my brandstof verbruik met die V8 die selfde te wees as wat ek op die diesel gekry het net ek het nou meer krag. My diesel laat gaan vir R6k (give away) pryse gaan tot so R12k. Lexus ombouing kostes was R25k (neem in ag ek het van diesel na petrol gegaan so baie extra goet moes gedoen word om dit te kon doen)
