TheRecklessEngineer Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Duramax 6.6l diesel Anyone know anything about these engines? Common rail type injection? Could you squeeze one into a disco? How computery are they? As bad as a Td5? Maybe in about 5 years when I have a job and when they might be cheaper.... But $510 is only £250......hmmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR90 Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Hmm, not met the reserve yet and buy it now at $5000 is more than my Disco's worth anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diesel_jim Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 250 horsepower and 460 lb.-ft. of torque, and that's the "detuned" van version!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porny Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 How computery are they? As bad as a Td5? Td5 has one ECU and one alarm ECU... and unless the alarm is set to see the alarm key fob then you just need a key. Nothing complicated compared to actual 'modern' cars... even on our test beds at work, at times we have to connect up the dash binicle and the alarm key fob to get the engines to run!!! - these end up just straped to the pallet. In all honesty an engine of this age (which will have normal injectors) could be made to run on an aftermarket ECU without a problem.....
