I saw a Festiva with a diesel in it

[Team Lightning]

Today I had a knock on my door. When I answered it, it was the man who bought the motor from my 90L. He was wanting to sell his Festiva and Aspire.
When I arrived to get photos, I saw a red Festiva. I had heard that he had put a diesel in one and the red one was it.
I got a couple of photos of it. It has a .6 litre diesel and he said it was too small to run on the road even if it will run 55. The motor doesn't have enough torque. He said he was looking for a bigger diesel for it.

:shock: love it! turbo seems a bit big for it though doesnt it?

[Team Lightning]

I think the motors too small for the turbo!

Yeah, upside down manifold? Dont need no fwd designed powerplant thats cutting your options down.

[Team Lightning]

Not sure about the manifold. I didn't get a good look at it.

Im thinking and posting outloud. Im saying anyone thinking of doing a inline diesel engine can do upside down exsust manifolds if the engine is intended as a rwd or front to back config water concrete pump pump or whatever.
