Mazda 2.3l turbo diesel build

Haha! Yeah that's the only reason i get on there too. Lol!

I would like to dyno it eventually. When i do though I'll put some stock size tires on! Lol! These bigger mud tires and tall gears really make a big difference. Its not terribly under powered like it was, but it is slower than it should be with all the mods I've done.

Gonna order a seal today. Should come in here in a couple days. I'll get it tore apart again today hopefully for the last time for a while! Lol!

I'll try to get some later today. Gotta do the Easter thing first. Lol!

I've spent more time driving it today. I did some more tuning on it too. Basically I've got the full load screw in as far as it'll go without revving up the motor. I've also got the boost fueling valve shimmed as far as it'll go. I shimmed the timing advance spring a little and I'm building 23psi of boost now. It is running so clean that i cant puff black even if i lug it! Only problem is I can hit 1400* egt pretty quick. I'm thinking I need some more fuel so I can quench it a little but I don't think it has any more fuel to give! Lol! I think I've officially hit a stopping point till I can get some pump work done and the injectors edm'd.

And yes I forgot videos. Lol!

Yep. I got this project done and now I'm ready for the next. I got a 2wd d50 with the same motor.

Shortly after I posted it for sale I sold it to a local kid. I recently learned that he blew it up a while back. What a sad sad day that was. Just thought I would let you guys hear about the final chapter of this build. Now its setting in a scrap heap somewhere.

Thats why I have a hard time selling things local. Sorry to hear that was a cool ass truck! Wish I were as talented as you with these things. I grew up in kansas and have actually been in Benton a few times. Well through it I guess...

Buy it back...do a new build with a TDI under the hood!
