I have other faults too. like leaving the clothes on the floor, sometimes I up-shift too late and would you believe it, I squeeze the toothpaste from the middle not the end.

Long live the 4bd1-- You really are a bearded pathetic clan of followers.

Ciao

this is the non comp truck one, I think it only gets to 50/55psi The comp truck one I cant find and the team's website is 411

Yeah I know that one well. Seems to be very much a rolling experiment. He's run at least three different turbo setups, planning a turbo/supercharge arrangement and is heading towards it's third rear end too.

Yep sure do and with no problems. I have an LT85 to Isuzu bellhousing tucked away for a rainy day. keep looking you'll find one. Incisor had one for sale a while back.

A couple of points, the Factory 4BDI-T in Australia seem to have their turbocharger out the side of the exhaust manifold (Left hand Side) right where your steering box is on a LHD Defender. So you may not he able to use the factory turbo setup, although you could use the turbo somewhere else with different plumbing. You may be able to put the turbo above the exhaust manifold or anywhere you can get the exhaust pipes and air intake pipes plumbed.

The Land Rovers factory fitted with Isuzu 4BD1 and 4BD1T all use the LT95 (Range Rover 4 speed) Lately a lot of people in Australia are using the R380 5 speed gearbox (Defender/Discovery II) modifying the R380 bellhousing.

Probably the best gearbox for a 4BD1 is an Isuzu gearbox - Dougal and others have close-coupled the 5 speed Isuzu, there are also people who have remote mounted the LT230 with an Isuzu 6 speed. Using the isuzu gearbox solves the problems of the adapter plate on the bell housing but moves it to the LT230.

Only till 1985, then the LT85 5 speed.

this is not an attack on you, but when you post and make comments like you don't like isuzu's, what the hell are doing reading or posting in this thread, one has to question your motive for being on this thread as it seems you are trying to ensite retaliation. You basically said that all isuzu owners are bad people, wake the hell up to your self before making broad statements. What is actually happening is you are having a personality clash so don't go of the deep end.

just my thoughts mate.
