^^ I guess the P38 doesn't fit to either category? May be somewhere in between :D

Cheers eightinavee. I don't think I'll proceed with purchasing the p38 I was talking about anyway. After closer inspection with my mechanics, seems like there's something dodgy about the chassis too, it looks like it's been redressed in some way, may be after a crash.. Still on the hunt for one...

May be a good soul can translate that? : )

Cheers for that ;) Am I mistaken in thinking that, given the prices, somebody has at least tried to rebuild the HP22 with the stouter HP24 internals on their own?

From what I gather, 4HP22's max torque is usually said to be either around the 300 Nm mark as Datatek stated, or around the 380 Nm mark - found posts on other forums backing the latter. Either way, official specs are not easy to find it seems. Confusing... Dave from Ashcroft Transmissions...

Cheers for the links. Yeah, those prices definitely sound out of reach..

By the way, anyone knows if there's a specific reason why there seems to be no common rail diesel conversion for the p38? I found a thread with a bloke who attempted to install the bmw M57 lump in his p38 but I don't think it turned out too well for him

Cheers Saint.V8 ! You're right, whenever I read about a manual DSE it seems to be one of the early ones.. Although I wonder if it's the same with LHD models

Cheers for this info. For all the talk about how difficult it is to do an engine swap on the p38, it seems like they did get on just fine with the 4m40.. I wonder if fitting the 1KZ will be as straight forward as with the Mitsy lump.. Eightinavee do you happen to know if it's the HP24 that...

That would be best, and if I could get ahold of a HP24 gearbox I might even consider something more powerful than the 1KZ. Something like a toyota 1VD leaps to mind :p Well, I've been looking out for a p38 for quite a while now and I've only seen about a dozen around. All where either DT or...

Thanks for the welcome and the quick replies, Datatek and Saint.V8 :5bseeya: Well I went through the ZF4HP22 specs and it looks like it wont take more torque than it already does with the bmw unit, so that might need changing too. The ZF4HP24 would surely do the trick as you suggested but I...

Hi good people, First time poster here. First I want to apologize if I'm beating a dead horse with this topic, but I really could use some input. I know the general sentiment is to stay away from swapping engine in the p38 because of all the electrickery involved. But here's the thing - I...
