Thread: New swb motor

tdi 200/300 detuned a bit so as not to kill the box..

but Id just rebuild the 2.25 cause I like em..

Better still TDi with the correct gearbox/transfer.A cheaper option would be a jap import diesel/gearbox/transfer.
Series gearboxes are their downfall,get a diesel with all the matching runing gear.
Our "other" vehicle is a 88 trytoo 4x4 dualcab,it has a later imported 92 turbo intercooled Pajahero motor.HEAPS of grunt,would go well in a Series shorty.Brisbane Motor Imports are the go for jap imports,good prices and freight was only $200 Brissie to Perth!!!!
Keep us uptaded.

a mate of mine has a 3.3 nissan cabstar 4 cyl diesel with a cabstar 5 speed gear box in a army s111 it runs thru the landie t/c

man that thing will pull the lord off a cross heaps of low down grunt and it cruises realy well on the hwy as well

marks 4x4 did those conversions years ago , i know my mate has three of those motors and gearbox setups 2 in landies and another compination cause he can

you just need to replace the 2.25d with a decent one. They do come up occasionally, just keep an eye out for one.

rebuild it, do most of the work yourself and you can get away with sub $1200 in parts and crank machining

nah it doesnt need to be rebuilt its only done 83,000 genuine km. it goes like a bat outta hell (a very slow bat) but i jst want something with a but more stick.

2.8 Isuzu turbo diesel, out of a Rodeo, might be a good option!.

I guess thats "keeping it in the family".May as well get the Isuzu 3.9turbo BIG BLOCK that would stand up on its rears!!!!!
