My point exactly, you missed the point of this thread completely and decided to slate me instead.

Hi to you too. :rolleyes: Wammers I suppose you would have told the BMW diesel racers not to bother either. Or that these guys were deluded in drifting a truck turbo boosted W123? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhxsN7HGo2Y

Loving the attitude in here.

Wammers you seem to be missing my point again.... On other forums dedicated to other cars members would recount tales of how for example conrods would need uprated for forged items, and how the head would need flowed, uprated gaskets etc if going the extra mile. Not "you are a clueless...

Are you blatantly on the wind up?! Or are you really just so unable to understand a simple concept even when it's repeatedly explained?! Go back and read my last post again. I'm fed up repeating myself.

I asked in my initial post "if anyone had taken diesel tuning further in a P38?". And if so "in what way?" All this talk guessing that I'm about to run huge boost on a knackered drivetrain and expect miracles is completely missing the point! I was asking about what COULD be done. The clue...

A well thought out informative post! Plenty to take on board there. Thanks.So much more useful than being slagged off for even contemplating what is contained in it! I find it laughable to brand someone who is unknown on here a 'dreamer and clueless' for contemplating some mapping and bolt on...

No, being told I know nothing and that I am a dreamer because I am looking into tuning options is out of order. If you want an ego massage or a fight you'll have to look elsewhere, I have no time for the likes of you. People like you with a hefty post count and attitude to match cropping up...

Are you still going on?! I'm fine with hearing about the ins and outs of how to deal with upgrades on a car, but as I said I'm not interested in your egocentric posts and condescending attitude towards me.

I'm sick to death of your condescending attitude. How terrible of me. I'm asking about tuning options before buying a car! I'm being perfectly polite yet I'm being accused of being a dreamer and 'prattling on'! Tell you what, next time you see me asking a question, just keep your thoughts to...

Where was this? I quite like it! :D It's a MK4 Escort 3dr Estate ;) (1986-1990)

You know NOTHING about me! So you have no justification on which to say you know "a little more about motors than I do". :doh: When buying into a car I'm unfamiliar with I will tend to ask existing owners about tuning that particular model. Here the chip and intercooler route is well...

Calling me a dreamer, and then continuing to try and belittle me whilst bigging up yourself shows me exactly the type of person you are. And that's not a particularly useful one to say the least. You know nothing about me, so what you say is pretty presumptuous and egocentric. Even if it was...

Interesting, so in theory it should go in with the appropriate spacer. Wonder if electronically the box would be compatible with the car's management?

Want to pipe down Mr Keyboard warrior? Great way to welcome someone new onto the forum! Hope you're proud. And as for your turning a 'Ford Pop into Cosworth' short sighted nonsense, have you never heard of the tuning industry? And most relevantly to a Ford Pop, have you never heard of a hot...

A bit more on track now, thanks ;) I assumed the stronger box was used in the early l322, but it seems to be that it was just the 4.6 Discos instead in the 02-04 years. So is the 4.6 auto box a tried and tested upgrade for the diesel box? There seems to be plenty used ones for sale on ebay...

Excuse me?! "I'm a dreamer"? Well I don't appreciate that, and if I typed my initial reaction to your comments I'd probably get the topic closed. I'm looking for information for future ideas. It's called planning ahead. I'm not going to justify myself, and have no need to. I'm merely looking...

What I can find says this box was used up to 2004 in the 4.6. What's involved in the upgrade?

So the later style box (out a l322?) is a straight swap?

Hmmm, interesting. Are the boxes easily interchangable?
