half landrover related!

Hey guys
Just thought I would throw this by everyone!
I currently have a puma and a110 4bd1T county but the next car will obviously be a 4x4 and its either going to be a range rover classic (preferably like Dranged's ) and modify it for a un registeted offroader or a GQ patrol 4.2D smooth gearbox good running gear (from what I know patrols drivelines are indestructible?) And turbo intercool it , modify it the same as the rangie (at least 37's heaps of flex etc etc) which would everyone choose ?

Why not mod your county?

GQ's are not bad jiggers, but I just don't like driving them

wouldn't be inclined to turbo the N/A Patrol have known people to do that and it go bang

[c.h.i.e.f]

The only reason I was thinking of the patrol was because its in pretty good condition and only $1000 but then again I could mod the county like you said .. I wouldn't mind to run at least 35's and a 3" flexy coil lift but once I put 35's on the county I dont think its going to like it very much would 4.11 diff ratios make it all better ? if so where do you source them from?
I have heard both good and bad reports about the patrols being turboed I know a guy with one running 35's and you plant your foot it will pin you in the seat but this one is a bit of a freak for some reason.

Tell that to the umpteen people making decent horsepower from their turbo's TD42's, definately far from the truth, quite a solid engine that responds REALLY well to boost

1K for a TD42 patrol? that's cheap as ****, buy it and ebay it, then spend the rest on the county

Your county will love 35's, is it 4 or 5 speed?

I originally put the 4BD1 in my rangie after pulling out the supercharged 3.9 and I had 35" tyres and 4.11 diff gears, It hit the engine governor at 120km/hr and was woeful to drive, I quickly stuck 3.54 gears back in

Ever driven a lifted soft sprung patrol??? I'll take a 110 any day thanks. Of course they are near bulletproof, but who would want to struggle with its on road handling etc over 60km'hr?

The Td42 is a giant killing engine, loves a bit of cooled air rammed into it and will see half a million km easily. I'd almost say they are nearly as reliable as the 12HT...

Yeah ive seen lots of good reports of people getting some good power out of the patrols . Talking to one of the guys that has a GU that is used at tuff trucks he said he is running 30psi boost when I asked him about fuelling he said "lets say its getting up there with egt's but it only runs for 20mins max" 49" inch tyres and it goes hard he says!
Is the 12ht a factory turbo 4L cruiser motor out of the 60series ? Are they as strong as the isuzu ? Ive been told that 1hd-t motors are a good one also?

Yes, and I believe yes. 1HDT is good, but not as good as the 12HT IMO. I was even entertaining the thought of a 12HT and auto ex 61 series Sahara into my 110 at one point, but they are a Looong engine and I already had the Isuzua nd trans etc etc.

Is the 12ht a direct injected motor ? I hav been considering a 1hd-t but cannot find any good ones. I was told a 4.2td patrol motor from factory was only $7k
