    Smile Isuzu 4bd1T in an Italian Defender 110

    Dear All,

    Please let me introduce myself: I'm an Engineer and I live in Italy, I love Land Rover's, and in my little little company I have a 1998 Land Rover Defender 110 standard fitted with the well known 300Tdi engine.
    I did everything to squeeze the best form this 2500 direct injection engine: front mounted intercooler, vnt turbocharger, tricked fuel pump, straight trough exhaust sytems...A the present day I'm not satisfied with it, and I'm thinking about a Isuzu 4bdt1 conversion.
    But to tell you the truth even if calculation on my hand show the 4bdt1 would produce the same power and NM of the tuned 300Tdi engine, I prefere to fit a big engine in my 110 as low end torque is always better, so what do you think about this conversion ? Is it useless or is it a good idea, having the 300Tdi reached is top potential at this tage ?

    Ciao Ciao

    Won't the turbo foul the steering box on a LHD?

    shouldnt, but then if it does your an engineer, swing it over hang it off of the inlet manifold and plumb the gasses and oil over to it.

    He may be a chemical, electrical or some other engineer

    I be honest, I am not a fan of the Isuzu but it does beat my 300tdi without even trying too hard.
    My friend has both a 3.6-4BDE and a 4Bd1 and although I don't like the noise and the whole idea which by my own admission is totally unreasonable, it does pull harder than a you know what.

    So go for it.
    It just so happens, its for sale here in the market section also.
    His 4bd1 and bellhousing etc.
    Its the none turbo model though but fitting a turbo can't be too hard, even mechanics can do it.

    To annoy the likes of you.

    I think you are wrong, rarely a sentence does actually when compared to sentences written.
    Has the rattle of the motor send your mind numb?

    I do so not to offend but now that you have offended me, I shall remember that.
    Do you really feel there was need for it.
    Did you have a bad day, did you look in the mirror and not like what you see?
    Did it make you feel better or does it come naturally.
    Either way, it is not really called for and please refrain from hurting my feelings.
    I am very sensitive you know.
