SupporterHi all
looking for a 4bd1t engine, and came across a company in china that reconditions them.
The Company is called Comfort Diesel. Ive had communication:
"For the 4BD1T engine for light truck, 88kw/2800rpm, the price is USD3050/set, with shipping cost
to Australia sea port, we have delivered many of these engines to Australia before".
Has anyone used them or have any thoughts on this...?
Thanks
Troy

I remember someone look into these, or was it new 4bd1t engines from china, and there was quite a few differences to the original isuzu engines. Was a thread on here somewhere about it

Nobody has yet made the comment that, if you do the work yourself, the cost of reconditioning a motor with a genuine Isuzu parts kit (which includes new liners) would be less than $3,000 wouldn't it?

SubscriberFrom my perspective I wouldn't even consider a reco'd 4bd1t from China.
a. You've no idea if its in fact a genuine Isuzu engine to start with
b. No idea what they have used for parts
c. No idea on the quality of the rebuild workmanship
d. Due to the distance, you'd likely have to write the whole lot off as a bad experience if turned out to poorly.
e. Its likely to have a crap turbo on it anyway.
If you want a 4bd1 with turbo just buy a running NA motor locally and turbo it.
If you're hung up on having a factory "T" engine you're either planning on some serious tuning, or haven't absorbed that the NA engines are very robust when turbo'd and that most people won't get any benefit from a factory T engine apart from a warm feeling in their shorts (or you DO know and just like the warm feeling.....
If you're tuning or needing the feeling, you likely won't be satisfied with a china special.
Personally I'd prefer starting with a genuine NA 4bd1 (even the very early 1981 stage1 engine that's in my county) rather than build on an unknown pedigree chinese sourced engine.
BTW - I'd expect you'd be up for anything from AUD$1000-2000 extra in handling/customs costs at the Aussie end by the time you had it sitting in your shed. Think you'd have a pretty decent engine if you spent $6K locally on one.
