Hi Dougal,
Is that intake manifold installed upside down? I have seen some Isuzu intakes with the flange on top and have been told that it doesnt give enough room to close the bonnet unless the bonnet is modified. I have seen a few 4bd1's turboed with the flange output vertical allowing a side mount where everything fits very well.
Where did your manifold come from?
Thanks.

I'm guessing you mean the exhaust manifold (the one with the turbo hanging off)?
Unfortunately they can't be just flipped due to the bolt locations, this one has had the neck cut off, flipped and rewelded.
Apparently there is a factory manifold this shape, but like the Yeti I've only seen fuzzy photos and heard rumours.

The later style manifold you show is one I have that I'll be hanging a variable vane turbo from eventually and hopefully before oil runs out a compound setup. The flange is about 20 deg off vertical and the mount flange is T3 type.

Eeer yes, having a senior moment, ment the exhaust manifold.
Very impressive. Having a dual turbo system does it mean that it will spool up earlier?
Impressive welding as the manifold would have been cast. I doubt that it would give me enough room in the County with the existing alternator and a/c compressor position so I will be looking for a side mount kit. All this hopefully to happen much later though as I want this project registered by the end of the year and I have a lot to do.
Thanks for the photo.

Yes the compound setup is intended to give me a really wide boost curve. Spool up very early and not choke. It's a work in progress so I'll be keeping people updated.
The welding on the outside of the manifold is impressive, it's survived about 16 years like that. But the inside was sh*thouse.
It was originally a split pulse manifold (web down the middle seperating pulses), that didn't line up and there was a whole raft of sharp edges and gaps.
I got to as much as I could with a die grinder and mill.

Mine has the factory size alternator (with vac pump) and AC. So plan is to make it all fit around there. That's why I originally drew it up, it was soo damn tight I had to.

wow... too much time spent on that one Dougal 8)

where is your I/C? front mounted, full width, air to air?

It's a large water/air on the far side of that photo.
Not yet plumbed in though, I'm currently switching from 10spline to 24 spline axles in the hope of preventing future issues.
Back one is in.

thanks to everyone who has posted, my curiousity has been satisfied!

dougal, thats some damn impressive work there, cant wait to see it in the flesh!

[def-90]

hey rar110 what size dump pipe is that, it looks massive, maybe just the camera angle.

my 90 set-up...pre and post turbo, has changed abit again now though.

[Dougal]

There're some interesting variations in here.

Starting with the rocker covers, the one Rar110 posted up which is completely flat on top and has no diaphragm valve under it, ones like mine with the short hump at the back and others like Larns with a longer hump.

Then intake manifolds, at least 3 of those. The one Def90 just posted up looks the best of the lot and similar to the one AndrewE fitted up not long ago.

EVERY factory 110 or stage 1 with a 3.9D that I have seen has had the flat rocker cover.

Does that make them industrial engines, rather than automotive?
Do they have the acoustic cover on the timing gear case?

[rar110]

The dump pipe is 3 inches. It drops down to inside the chassis rail and hangs off the v8 exhaust mounting points.

As far as I know all 110 Isuzu's have the timing cover, cover. Not sure about the stage 1's.

[Sprint]

hmm...... doesnt look to be an awful lot of riim in there if i wanna chuck one in a IIA

[def-90]

hey rar110 how'd you squeeze that infrot of your starter?

[rar110]

It travels down in front of the engine mount rather than in front of the starter.

Here is another RRC engine bay for you.

:eek:

man that is one packed engine bay....

better you than me working on that one!!!

It looks worse in the photo trust me. Its only got:

1 x engine
2 x batteries
2 x compressors
2 x alternators

and all the usual bits you need to run them all.

Thanks mate, still managed to keep the air con with the High mount winch. SWMBO,s rule is do what you like but it,s got to have A/C.:D

I can live with that.

Nice intercooler setup mate. I just ran out of room in the end. Dont you hate how silicone hose only comes in blue or red;)

any pics of the intercooler setup?

[isuzurover]

All Stage 1 and 110s have the flat cover and the acoustic cover over the top. Doubt they would be industrial engines.

Stage 1 and military were rated to 85Bhp, civvie 110 to 99Bhp.

The hump in the covers is the breather diaphragm, the hump covers have breathers coming out the side.
The flat top engines without, do they have a large breather sprouting out of a cam shaft cover?
That's the telltale sign of the industrial ones to me.

*edit*
Okay, so the flat top ones here also have breathers out the side. Colour me confused.

The only truck engines I have seen (in person) have had the flat aluminium cover and no acoustic cover.

Perhaps the hump was a later model addition? Or was initially only fitted to the turbo variants?

Maybe it's a year thing.
The earliest one I've seen in (or from) a truck is 85 model year, my 4BD1T is 86 model year. Even the 4BC2 (3.3L non turbo) from that year have the hump.
Later on (4BD2 from early 90's) seem to be a longer hump.

All I can say is wow , well done to all of you , wish I could join the elite isuzu Rover club. some of your engine bays look impressive , specially Justine's , mate if you drop a spanner inside your engine I don't know how you're gonna retrieve it?? :eek:

Defenderbillby looking forward to seeing your Izusu county soon.

[JohnF]

mate if you drop a spanner inside your engine I don't know how you're gonna retrieve it?? :eek:

you just run the Isuzu motor for a couple of minutes and all the vibration will shake it out of the bottom--but love the 10 lites per 100km.

What type and size of turbo do you have there Gerry?

[Dougal]

Another question.
What's with the blue silicone hose coming off the cross-over pipe?

[slug_burner]

Boost compensator hose?
