To be Frank with you, I was not aware that diesels came with Digifant.

IIRC Evil Pig (aka JT) is talking about converting his diesel to Digifant. To
me that means GAS engine and not diesel. Perhaps JT can jump in here and
clarify what he is talking about.

I own a 1989 16" Syncro Double Cab which is factory equipped with a 1.6
turbodiesel. I also own a Digifant WBX van and an 82 diesel which now has a
1.8 CIS inline 4 gas engine.

Aside from owning, I have also personably viewed at least 15-20 various
inline 4 conversions up close and personal. Not apart but on a lift in a
proper garage. My very good friend and parts supplier was a Eurospec dealer
and converter. He uses SA parts and SA methods. He has been performing
conversions in his shop since way before Tiico was even a twinkle in Peter's
eyes. They have yet figured out how to put an airbox on the driver's side
(left side for you RHD folks) for the engine compartment.

I'm a technical provincial, please do enlighten me.
