    One kit still available at the group buy price if anyone is interested. Full details in "The Verandah" or PM me.

    Cheers

    Just getting around to thinking about fitting this kit.
    Forgot I might have to drill the block.
    Came with 4 lengths of of threaded rod, I guess for the main housing and 2 bolts and nuts.
    How do the bolts and nuts work for the top extension as I thought they would be studs also. Can I drill and tap this top extension for a turbo feed?
    Does it need a restrictor?

    I made my own spacers, but took the turbo feed off the main filter housing as there was already a port there to use. Can't recall if it was blanked originally or had a line fitted that I didn't have on my engine.
    AFAIK there's no need for a restrictor unless you're running a ball bearing turbo. My old setup was AN-4 size hose and fittings, and onto the turbo banjo fitting. Definitely an unrestricted fitting.
    My new HX30W setup is working fine with same hose etc, but I had to get a new (larger) banjo and bolt to suit.

    Definitely need to drill the block or the bypass filter just sits there with no flow. Don't ask me how I know

    This is a very old thread......and photobucket changed their rules, sadly a lot of threads have lost pics.

    For me, cleaner oil, longer changes (I try to change mine at 10K), and easy spin on filters are all good reasons

    Ooops, I've got the cartridge type and have been doing 10k changes, should they be 5k ?


    Also just wondering were the truck twin spin on housing different to the 6x6 Turbo housing? I wouldn't mind going spin on from the convenience perspective and have found a 6x6 Turbo housing and was wondering if I'll have to get the spacer anyway ?

    Cheers,

    The risk with hanging down in that position is a filter canister will connect with the front prop shaft. The spacer moves the filters out to avoid contact with the prop shaft.

    In saying that I think at least one owner has fitted the housing without the spacers.

    Thanks for the replies but I also wondered why the kit came with two nuts and bolts for the top spacer. How do they work?

    The great thing about laser cutting or CNC machining is you could elongate the holes like this to allow for both. Someone else might want to confirm the centers on a 4BD1 N/A. Mine are 45mm for the 4BD1T and 42mm for the 4BB1. I would expect late (~'88 on) 4BD1 N/A's to be the same as the turbo block.
    I'm currently going through this process, I have a maybe late 4BD1 (87225C) and the bolt spacing is not the same as a turbo motor. (the N/A oil cooler pipe does not line up with my twin filter housing!)

    These engines appear so similar between turbo and N/A but I keep finding subtle differences lol...

    I'm going to try using the top half of this pipe and making a new bottom end... wish me luck!

    Oh, and I've purchased some M10x1.25 hi tensile threaded rod too... $60-something from united fasteners.
    Anyone doing this with the motor in the vehicle, you should be able to double nut the rod out of the block and lower the whole assembly?

    In-case anyone is wondering:
    AYG473 filter housing to block spacer is NLA from land rover AUS, but KLR have them for $70 (gaskets too)
    AYG0474 top spacer is available from land rover AUS for $306
    8943402580 filter housing and filters from Isuzu $271+
    8941697751 turbo motor pipe to cooler from Isuzu $167+

    Also, I think someone has mentioned the oil return from the bypass filter into sump, and it looks like my block DOES have the return hole drilled.

    Does anyone know about the oil feed that runs from the filter housing to the front of the timing cover at the center of the injector pump?
    Surely it's not lubrication because it is absent on the N/A motor. Is it some sort of timing advance? part number 8944619791

    EDIT: Somehow I missed the page where nugget is offering a kit including the spacers for $260. I should have bought that.
