Thread: Mod 300tdi vs isuzi 4bd1t

Received an answer back on the HS 2.8 turbo kit and here is a photo.
Cost of kit about $2,385.00.

That kit is different to mine. Looks like it is better suited to the 300Tdi.

From memory the MTQ kit with Mitsu wastebate turbo was about $2400.

Thanks to every one for there input.
I have decided to upgrade the 300tdi rather than an Isuzu transplant.

I will be fitting a Garrett VNT Kit being supplied by Allisport in the UK,this kit will have everything to replace whats on there now.
Manufacturer of the kit reports that quote "We have recently developed a kit For 300 tdi models, to allow the installation of the VNT or variable vane turbo from the 2.8 TGV engines, which can give maximum boost at around 1200 rpm
This is ideal for towing or competition use as the usual “lag” situation is greatly reduced."
There will also be a intercooler upgrade and an exhaust upgrade along with more engine bay ventilation and an EGT Gauge.
I will also be sending the vehicle to M & R Automotive at redcliffe for the timing belt shim kit and the Injector pump tuning.
Also looking at cooling the gearbox.
Cheers,
Mickey.

There is going to be alot of interest in your set-up once it is going.You will need to keep us informed. Pat

I think you will be happy with it. Not as good for towing long distances as a tuned 4BD1-T but much easier and cheaper to do.

Edit: BTW, I have posted some of the info an pic on the LR4x4 forum in the UK, as a lot of the members there will be interested.

I trust Allisport are not including VAT (that is for UK residents). As it is over $1000, including delivery, Aus customs will charge GST and probably duty (GST on top of duty).

Pat,I will keep every one one informed of the progress from start to finish and provide some Dyno reports and real towing experiences.

John,Quote didn't include VAT but like you believe it doesn't get charged.
Yeah GST and duties will be applicable this end.

Andrew from Allisport is doing the Outback challenge in Morroco starting this week,so there is a delay of a week before he can get a kit together.

cheers.
Mickey.

G'day Mickey
