i've a ld20 ll-t in my van, thats a turbo ld20. nissan diesel engine. it's overheated and the lot's warped and cracked (rwd)
i've access to a bluebird whitch is fwd with the exact same engine just non-turbo.
my question is, would it be better to install the engine as is, or should i bolt on all the parts that are turbo, e.g. manifolds oil lines sensors ect and run this engine with a turbo (can diesels handle that!)
car in question is a nissan c22 vanette diesel and donor car is a nissan bluebird u12
cheers for any input lads
edit: i know i can't slap it in as is, i'd need to buy non-turbo manifold ect

I,d say use turbo manifold,but where turbo bolts to many get an exhaust co, to bridge the gap.Or know wat boost the previous diesel was pushing(6psi!) then put turbo on non turbo motor an spring preload turbo actuator (decrease boost)so now the turbo will only push 2psi .Usually non turbo motors go real well wit 2-3psi slapped onto it, any higher and pop motor.
