Going to convert my 3.3 revo to diesel. need to know some things.

Need to know some things about convrting to diesel. Can I use my electric ez start or do I have to put a pullstart in. And what are good tune settings for a diesel trx 3.3?

Diesel conversions run lower RPM than Glow. Your truck will be torque-ier, but slower. The blue anodized head gets replaced with a head with no fins on it (or not many) and a "tommy bar" for adjusting compression. Model Diesel fuel is more expensive than Glow fuel and is NOT the same thing as what fullsize Diesel engines run on.

P.S. if you convert to diesel, your EZ start can stay put. The only thing that changes is the cylinder head, fuel, and carb settings.
