How to do it.
The legality of it
The only company that specialises in it.

But, any local welder should be able to do it. So, to explain use the diagrams in the first link. - Hope that's helped :) 8)

dude...trying to get top end speed out of a diesel is a silly idea! Are you gonna get another engine??

Just get a cheap petty one and chuck that in for now if you're intent on getting a bigger derv engine. :)
