Wow.... that's amazing that it's been running that long.... these little 1.5L and 1.6L SOHC are great little engines... very hard to kill them.

When I see the word "earth mover" and "diesel" I automatically assume it's a giant turbo from a 12L 8cyl diesel.

What size was the original diesel engine?

i had a question that was related to diesel turbos before... and it turned out that due to CFM of diesel engines they usually have little turbos... with an estimate we can say that the turbo on a petrol engine is double the size of a turbo of a similar diesel engine so in other words a 1.5 SOHC lanos can run great with a turbo that came from a 3.0 diesel engine

i hope my memory serves me right here as this result is what i remember for that discussion.

With that video of you accelerating, are you driving hard?
It just doesn't seem to accelerate that quickly.

Thats it, its not that quick. i have raced some mates it was quicker than a VN 5spd and an auto supercharged VT (stock) and a 93 mazda mx6

I once raced a diesel hilux, was being lazy and managed to stall on the line

still smoked him by 4 car lengths

Your car is quicker in third but in 1st and 2nd its about the same... i blame the lanos' shit gearing. Especially 4th.

it has a rate rising fuel reg.it runs 6psi of boost. i timed it 0 to 60 it took around 8sec.

also when i took vid of the speedo it was a very hot day. it does not like hot weather as you all know turbo cars run better in cold weather

oh that explains.
8 sec with 6 psi... thats awesome!

one cold night i turned it up to 9psi and it went a lot harder. but it gets a dead spot in warmer weather can be annoying to drive so i put it back to 6. for a wile i had it set at 8psi but due to stock ignition timing on hot days it surges at lower to mid rpm but it clears out up top. seen as i dont drive hard all the time i put it back to 6psi for now as it runs smoother. i am going to get a duel stage boost controller soon so i get the best of both worlds

You could get a scramble button, then it would be like NOS
