DaveS on here used to own a RED county with a tweaked 300Tdi which is now owned by Pete (Red October).
When Dave broke his neck doing a superman impression on a mountainbike, I drove his 110 home for him, then got a lift back to pick up my (then NA) 4BD1 RED county.
So - this is about as close as it gets!!! 2 RED countys of about the same vintage with different engines and R380/LT85 5 speeds.
There was a huge difference in low-down torque (in the 4BD1s favour). Only when you really wrung its neck on the highway did the Tdi shine over the NA isuzu.
Well, the ZooZoo is looking good so far. I just happened to time some runs in my 300Tdi 130 the other day for my own interest.Quote:

Chief there must be a non antagonistic way of bumming a ride in a 4bd1t or getting your old man to turbo HIS county for you to drive
what would you say to him when you lost his 110 in a street race?
That's pretty impressive. It'd be interesting to run your VNT equipped one against a similar weight landy with the stock turbo.Quote:

Offender90 bought a brown county with a new 3.9V8 short motor in it. It may be badly tuned carbs, but it is a slug compared to my 4BD1T.
So we can have less torque, more gear changes and burn more fuel?:DQuote:

With a 5th gear, you could still do that.:twisted:Quote:
