in my experience, definitely go back to a defender transfer case if your towing anything over a tonne...
Just got back from the cape towing a camper trailer (1500 kgs approx) with my 130 defender. Its currently running a disco transfer . Cruises OK but any hill knocks the wind out of it. I know the vehicles no rocket but im thinking going back to defender transfer case and a VVT turbo. Any advise on this setup. I was going to put my 1999 td5 5 speed back on the road . But my mates 110 did its alternator and we were able to drive 160 klms with no issues. not slagging off at TD5s but doubt it would do it. Baz

Get a 4bd1t if you can but be aware that the genuine turbo motors are normally out of trucks and are therefore a lot older and often thrashed to death
I would be more inclined to buy an ex ADF motor ( watch out for hydrolocked ones) and add a turbo
The ex ADF 4bd1t’s are good but will still need a new turbocharger

When I'm here I want to be out there.
what about a 4JJ1 out of the D-max. the 4JJ1 also came in light/medium trucks with a truck gearbox. Not sure what model truck gearbox but if there is any compatibility to the MSA/MXA range, you could hit up Sheldon for an adaptor to suit. the 4JJ1 will put out 180HP/500nm with a tune and be a nicer engine to live with compared to the 4bd1T. Steve Etcell (mechanic out western sydney) is doing patrol conversions so would have the ECU/wiring harness stuff sorted. food for thought
