Project 520 Diesel

[Cahoon520]

I got the 720 diesel home today, after a 200 km trim it ran great.

Now a pic of what the diesel is going into.

Now let the fun times begin

awesome. Big turbo + lots of boooost please! Diesels love huge boost.

I am going to start pulling the 720 apart this weekend. If anybody needs 720 parts they are up for grabs.

You'll have to use the diesel 5 speed tranny with that and shorten the drive shaft. Starter is on driver's side. Try to swap the diesel gas tank as well. You might consider swapping the diesel wire harness into the 521, or some of it for the glow plug relay and other diesel specific things.

 

This is going to be so cool.:D

Swap the DIESEL GAS tank??....? :D Hehe.

 

Looks nice, wish we would have gotten more SD versions in the US. They're hard to find, and even harder to find parts for around these parts.

I have been studying the 720 wiring for the last couple of days figuring out what I has to be transfer and what does not. So far the glow plug circuit and injection pump controller circuit. I am going to try to swap the fuel tank from the 720. I also have to swap the rear end gears from the 720 to the 520. The alternator is not working so I have to replace it but the vacuum pump is driven off the back of the alternator. The vacuum pump is only for the power brakes so it wont be needed because the 520 does not have power brakes. This way I can upgrade the alternator because I am going to be installing a powerful stereo
