Was advised by a mate to have the injectors cleaned but fuck me that not cheap... $500+ to have my cleaned $690 for a serviced set But mine were bloody dirty But as with most thing.. I decided to pull 1 apart and see if I can do it myself. I found a nozzle in side with a part number.... few Google search later I had a set on the way from the states for less than $80. Once landed i stripped the injectors, cleaned them and rebuilt them with new nozzles Put them back on with new washers. *new waterpump on *oil filter housing on with new filter *inlet on ,*exhaust on. Starting to look like a motor again. And so far .the Bedford, motor, auto ,everything all up..owes me less than $550 and shitnloads of my hours but thats pretty sweet -

Not sure mate it will be better than the factory ambulance diff ratio that's in it now. So what ever the final drive of the 3 speed auto (with OD) is + the 14" wheels and once I find out the ratio of the cresta diff I have is. Ideally....I want to be able to do the speed limit on the open road and actually be able to go up a hill 😆

It's getting both. And its not a big turbo.. I'm just going to use the td05hr 16g evo turbo off my cortina and a good intercooler. EGT gauge and also changing the rear diff ratio...once I sort out what I have
