    turbo diesel to 16v redtop

    i have always fancied doing a conversion to an astra td van and turning it into a 16v monster, does anyone know of any problems or set backs that may occur in this type of project????
    i know its not something new, but i have always wanted to build my own.

    shut up you tit, ive got a van here that has been converted and it all looks like its been done pretty simple, obviosly you will need different fuel pump, clocks will need changing so rev counter works.
