i have a 92 diesal patrol, fitted a SC and coudlnt be happier the low down tourge is unbelievable, the unit is fully servicable and no need to idle down and all parts are available over the holden counter as the unit is off the v6 commodre. The turbo has nothing on a SC in all of the rev range, and when off road there is more control as you can stay in a higher gear and use very low revs ie down as low as 8 to 900 revs and still accelerate with out labouring the engine, the only down fall is the fan is 20 mm closer to the radiator so when going through water more care has to be taken.

Hi Colin, I believe you are in
Cairns? Any chance of having a look at the way you have set this truck up?

Diamond, he didnt say how much fuel he was using?
Id be interested to know as the Gen 3s in a manual commodore can actualy return 35 mpg (whatever that is in metric) on hwy.
Perhaps a blown Gen 3 would be a good swap?
by the way lots of gen3s like a drink of oil and holden are reluctant to fix.

CAPA Engineering can help, from memory kits start at around $5000, www.capa.com.au.
I wouldnt recomend a Gen 3 (I just sold one) conversion as it would be too costly and no torque.
The sc should give you more power and low down torque.
