I have been using the Navara for a few months now and all is going well, there is loads of low end grunt even when loaded, I hardly ever need to change gear on the open road. It will drive at 70mph easily and a bit more but it's not that happy and you can see the fuel gauge move. Most comfortable is speed is between 50 and 60mph when it is achieving nearly 30mpg. The original heater plug system works well, if a bit slower to heat up, still only a few seconds when its really cold. The only way you can really tell its been converted is the engine management light and the new cable throttle is a bit stiffer than most fly by wire cars nowadays.
Overall I am pleased, a lot of work to convert but the cost of the parts and tools I needed where covered by selling the parts I did not use or need. Good old ebay. A lot better than a new YD engine which would just blow up anyway. There are lots of things that can still go wrong but I am confident it won't be engine related.
Good luck if you are thinking of this conversion, just find a manual injector pump, it will be easier in the end. The London Taxi pump works just fine if you cannot find the correct one.
