I'd be up for a set Judging by the speed of you swap it won't be long before you make them up . YOU COULD START TAKING SOME ORDERS FOR A RIJIDIJ CONVERSION KIT. YOU DO SWAPS LIKE I'VE NEVER SEEN. LOL

cheers

After just returning from a 6 week holiday in the County and all the pre-trip time I spent preparing it, I will have to concentrate a bit more on some of the household projects for a while...........but just between you and me, I'll probably find myself sneeking out to the workshop now and then for some 'Landy Time'.

I will keep you in mind if and when I do get around to making them though.

Cheers

Brilliant work.

I doint supose you have pics of the orignal Isuzu. Dip stick , Breather, oil lines, both in and out with routing?

as these would be the "thinking bits" when converting a NA to turbo county

Thanks in advance

uumm OK

But reading isuzurovers thread and your thread, looking at his pictures and his pictures. there seems to be some little difrences between your motor and the NA isuzu fitted to a 110.

It would be intresting to compare you dipstick and tube as it looks like it comes up behind the turbo and not beside the manifold ( as best i can make out from the photos.

Same as the breather under the turbo, that need to be hacked about in a NA 110, again it would be intresting how Isuzu handeled this problem with there tubo motors.

Like wise with the oil line, where is its pickup, how is it routed. and the oil return where is it piped to ?? etc

The truck 4BD1-T doesn't have the breather on the exhaust side. Only one breather from the right side of the rocker cover, which goes to a catch can vented to atmosphere.

The oil line comes from the top of the line between the filters and the oil cooler. It is routed around the rear of the head to the turbo. The oil line on n-a engines don't have this fitting.

The oil drain from the turbo goes to a port in the side of the crankcase. This hole is not drilled in the n-a engine.

I posted pics in this thread

Thanks Guys

i think the isuzu breather looks nicer than the NA setup
