Time to report. NA Isuzu County 110. Out on the Plains of Emus.
On a slight uphill 0-110 on the dial which is probably closer 100 than 110, although haven't confirmed - 48 seconds.
On a slight downhill, 37 seconds.
Greased lightning!
EDIT - lt85, 7.50x16s
Work on a 300tdi then say you prefer this atrocity of an engine over a 4BD1
You'd have to be a double jointed midget oiled up with KY with a fetish for getting demoralized.
Sounds like you should own a 300Tdi then :D ;)Quote:

That said, DaveS and I managed to do it in a small village in Guatemala, though we did need to borrow a few extensions and wobble bars from the auto electrician across the street.
89 Model 4BD1 T 120" on 35's with standard gearing and Santana five speed.(No intercooler) Best I can get is 0 to 100 in 17 seconds. Had to change up before 3200 RPM in each gear to make the best use of its torque.
OK, so far we have:
0-100 times on a flat road:
300Tdi (n=1) = 17 secs
4BD1T (n=2) = 16 secs
4BD1 (n=1) = 48 secs (sounds very slow - something not right there)
Must be a few more people who can improve the stats?
Mine runs out of fuel after 3200 RPM:( I recon 17 is a good time wile short shifting and running 35s:DQuote:

If I get time I'll try it in standard height tyres. I'm a bit curious my self what the difference will be.
I cant see why a well tuned Isuzu (Mine isn't) would not better 14 seconds to the 100 kmh:)
I timed mine on a long uphill using the stopwatch on my phone, 0 - 100 in 34 seconds :eek: ( a bit slower than my old hillclimb car :D )
I'll time it going the other way tomorrow, there were too many cars tonight.
Dead flat road would be best - that way we can compare with others. Time up a hill doesn't help unless everyone is on the same hill. Not many flat roads around Dayboro though...Quote:

How about 2nd gear acceleration?
