Better than a 4BD1?

Got a tractor here with a Perkins 1104D-44T. It's 4.4 litres turbocharged. Phenomenal engine for power, torque and NVH. I'm pretty sure it's mechanical injection too. I know when one is working nearby as you can hear the implements (mower, sprayer etc) but you cannot hear the engine. Which is the complete opposite to the Perkins AD3.152.

Higher ratings are available intercooled. But I don't know if they have any injection advance mechanism for higher rpm.

Dougal, dont you think this engine is too heavy and too tall for the Defender engine bay?

It's lighter than a 4BD1T The height difference is the industrial sump which you would need to modify for axle clearance.

Google just found this (old) ad for a 110 county with a Perkins Phaser:

Got an Email back from Conversion & Precision Engineering UK, they don't make the conversion kit anymore. :(:(

And that county is now for sale on this forum.. Small world!

Well its finally installed, mated to the LT85 box which I rebuilt at considerable cost, I used the LT230 1.003 ratio which I had lying around from an early 727 trans RR. I can see why you guys love the 4BD1 engine owing to the huge seamless torque it produces. I thought it may have been over geared, yes reverse and 1st are a little higher than I would like, but with such gobs of off idle torque it doesn't worry it. Seems better than the 6.2 diesel I used to have. Quieter than I thought it would be. Posted a short video (not a good one) on it running. no exhaust at the moment

Next on list are new front shocks and springs (still has original v8 springs!)
Deeper bumpstops
Fitting LT230 Oil feed plate
Turbo (Advise here Dougal please!)


Cheers

So you went 4bd1 in the end?

No its 15B Toyota. I was making a comparison that the two (4bd1 and 15b) have fairly similar characteristics power wise

Gotcha. I didn't see the video yesterday on my phone. Today I can see the video, but not much in it. You need some more light in that garage!

Toyota CT12B is the factory turbo, same one used on the 3.0 1KZ engines. I beleive it's a MHI TD04 based turbo.
The MHI-TD04HL-19T is your best all-round turbo. With a 6cm exhaust housing. New reproductions are good money on Ebay.
