Poor el looks cold outside don't be beaten by the tin worm battle to the end

my battle lasts 5 years)

It's a shame they go like that as the qd is a tough engine and would far out live the body

That's for sure ... QD is immortal.)

In Russia, TD 27, QD32 are very often installed on our Russian UAZ SUVs. Only modifications without turbines and with a simple (mechanical) fuel pump.

This is certainly not legal, but who cares))))

Interesting I imagine without turbo and fuel pump it would run for ever I've read somewhere that it was also used in a fork lift on the tuning side think they can also produce good power with money spent I've seen an uprated at12 but haven't seen any detailed info

Nissan Datsun is available with a "real" QD32 mechanical pump)

Surely taking the turbo off would make it very slow? I once had a non turbo 2.5D E-Class Mercedes, it was the slowest car in the world.

Maybe for reliability the qd is rather agriculture if it's back to basics

Not sure how the weather and temp in Siberia affects a turbo, my Mum was there for a while at -30/40

Once I had a 1995 Nissan Patrol with a TD42 engine (4.2L) atmospheric (not turbo). Patrol did not accelerate at all, but he drove slowly everywhere - mud, snow, water, stones, rocks))

low temperature only affects the flow rate. if in the summer El eats 12 liters, then at -30 / -40 El eats from 17 liters and sometimes more than 20 liters. And the quality of the fuel is of great importance. Even in Irkutsk. although there is an oil refinery and fuel production plant nearby, the quality of the diesel is sooo low. At -30, fuel can easily freeze in the filter and in the tank))

 

[ELSib]

when I lived in the city, I parked my car next to an apartment building. In extreme cold, I started the engine in the evening and the engine worked all night until the morning.

 

[ELSib]

Hi))) -34 degrees ..) in the Garage -15 (normal). On the way to the city from home, "quality" winter diesel fuel turned into paraffin and clogged the fuel filter)
Bottom line: the engine does not pick up above 2500 rpm (although I drive no more than 2000 rpm). The installed cardboard between the cooling radiator and the air conditioner radiator helps a little, it's still warm in the cabin)
Winter says hello)))

 

[ELSib]

Yesterday I bought an oil filter, a valve cover gasket, a lot of engine oil (Neste OIL for heavy special equipment), 2 bottles of Coca Cola. on holidays I will start to eliminate oil leaks.

 

[Lize]

Enjoy the Cola

-41 ... In the garage - 17. On the way to work, the diesel fuel began to freeze. The speed dropped and no more than 40 km.h. Moving in 2nd gear. I went to the service to change the fuel filter. Waiting in line .. Have a great day everyone)
