Turbo that sumpregnant dog! What are you thinking of using for a turbo? Gonna fab your own manifold? You could use a turbo off of a turbo eclipse/talon for cheap, a CT-26 off of a Supra for cheap, or go big and strap a TO4E on it I'd guess you probably can't run much more than 10 psi on that engine anyway, so a CT-26 might be a decent choice...

Plans for intercooling?

I know he's got a turbo off a nissan he plans on using, but I don't know the specifics. I'll sure he'll fill you in later

I have a turbo from a 300ZX, but lack a manifold to mount it to. I am going to look for a Nissan forklift dealer and see if there is a possibility of getting a manifold for a forklift SD22-25. Otherwise I will build my own. I wounder if there will be any injection pump modifications needed?

There is also a TD27T engine (Nissan 2.7L turbo 4cyl diesel.) out there waiting for me to give it a good home, but I haven't found it yet.

Seems they are comming out of Japan and there arn't many here in the states. There are plenty in Australia.

Have you thought of LP injection?

TrackVino · « **Reply #35 on:** May 02, 2005, 10:48:30 PM »

Missed this new thread, but im here now. I like, looks like its lots of fun out there.

Im still trying to get mine done. A little behind, but will get done soon.

How long exactly did it take to build the willy? Ive got about 7 months in mine.

Willy Mammoth · « **Reply #36 on:** May 03, 2005, 03:54:59 AM »

To date and it's not done yet either, 5 1/2 months. we only got 4 more till the Rubicon and we both need practice. Time to stop jaw jacking and spend some time in the garage.

I must say that yall have one clean rig.
That looks great.
Keep up the good work

Willy Mammoth · « **Reply #42 on:** May 06, 2005, 04:33:49 AM »

Thanks guys, we hope to get out there and get it dirty soon, but first there is more work to be done.

Willy Mammoth · « **Reply #43 on:** May 08, 2005, 06:38:07 PM »

We need to rename this "Sightings of the Willy Mammoth". We have run out two tanks of fuel in this thing and have done a rough est. on mileage. WE think it is like 20 MPG., But need to do a more acurate check. We went to what we call Sea World on Friday night. Saturday night we went to Ocala and today we went back to Sea World. We wound up pulling out five full sized trucks, some of them after others have tried and failed. There are too many pics to post so I will post the best ones.

Willy Mammoth · « **Reply #44 on:** May 08, 2005, 06:44:07 PM »

We did not play as hard as we have in the past yet, but still have work to do first. We did try out every place we pulled a truck out of and found it to be no problem.

Willy Mammoth · « **Reply #45 on:** May 08, 2005, 06:47:35 PM »

This full sized Ford couldn't pull this 2 wheel drive out, but the Mammoth came to the rescue.

Willy Mammoth · « **Reply #46 on:** May 08, 2005, 06:51:59 PM »

You gotta love it when a 2500 lb willy pulls out a full sized truck at 4500+ lbs while being stuck to the axles. Even this Jeep couldn't pull it with the winch.

The only thing we broke all day was a strap that had seen too much action from our old mud truck.

Well that's it for now, it's back to to the build. $Beer Chug\'n$

Lady Di · « **Reply #49 on:** May 08, 2005, 07:15:39 PM »

a good time was had by all

and quite a few were very grateful we were there!

$Beer Chug\'n$ The mammoth performed amazingly! I can't wait to make more pics!

I love it! I only wish I could go duals. 4th gear is too low some times and I would like to use the stock low range.

I have got a load of compliments on the pulling power and I wouldn't be able to do it with out the gears.

My hat is off to Marlin.

Rocksurfer · « **Reply #53 on:** May 08, 2005, 09:35:56 PM »

Sure a nice bunch there, wish I could have been there and put mine in that line.

That's great Vino! I love that movie!!
Can't wait to test it in some REAL "chocolate". The winch will be hooked up next time we are out.

Hay willies, looks like you should have built a boat there instead of a crawler
