I love that all the diesel Starion talk and action is coming from Utah. You in Vernal, another guy in Spanish Fork, I thought about it when I was in SLC ... great stuff.
Maybe one day I'll do a Conquest with a Merc inline-5 turbo diesel.

so the TDStarion is doing great. i have done about 500mi so far and not a problem one. the diesel has made it a new car ( power band and all) it eats up the mount. roads like it aint no thang.the hp is nothing to brag about, but the tq. is bout the same as stock and i think more fun with the way it comes on. i will have a vid a.s.a.p. just wating on a few lil fix ups.

This is awesome. Trade you a new built gas engine that has no oil pressure for it...hahahahaha.
Would go better with my airplane theme as it sounds like one
I'm assuming this is almost direct bolt in?

got the boost up to 15. have not tuched the fuel screw yet and it pumps out the black smoke. going to put a e.g.t. in this weekend then start tunning more. and strang3majik. yes it was old motor out new diesel in. all i had to mess with was oil pan, and starter, since the diesel came from a auto 4wd. other than that strait swap.

i had to swap oil pans, put in a oil return on the starion oil pan for the vac. pump on the alt. and then cut off the flang of the diesel oil pickup tube and weld it to the starion oil pickup tube. but now its down, putting in a new rad., e.g.t., front one piece bumper and other lil nit noids.

so the TDStarion is doing great. i have done a few 3hr highway runs with no problems.water and e.g.t.'s stay low, boost comes on almost instantly and just pulls to the rev. limit. the only problem i have is people in my way. i went through the injection pump on fri. and tuned it for more fuel, im now pushing 20psi like it aint no thang. stock was 10, gonna keep playing with it and probably stop at 25. but now i have a really really fun car. tossing out smoke, squealing tires, trq out the wazoo, guessing 35+mpg(caint keep my foot off the throttle) and its fairly quick too. now its time for paint
