    The T has a nitrided crank and pistons with a steel ring insert. I'm not sure if the non turbo has those, but the longevity of these engines with aftermarket turbos is well proven.

    Diesel turbos work the whole time, the extra boost increases efficiency, decreases smoke and makes it a lot more pleasurable to drive.

    Oil spray to bottom of pistons

    Everything else is the same, including compression ratio, etc...

    We are talking a 2 Tonne LR here, not an 8 Tonne truck. It isn't like the engine is having a hard life - even when you are like Dougal and thrash it.




    yeah i see were your coming from but i have no idea were to start looking for engines,parts,new engines etc etc i called a well known isuzu dealer the other day(nsw) and they were not really interested in helping me with anything so wat are you suggestions?

    Again - a new thread would help. And a location in your sig.

    Andrew e on Outerlimits bought one (about $1k from LR I think). He was talking about making glass copies.

    Dougal - according to my data engines from about '88 on should have the turbo pistons.

    Smile 4BD1 V 200TDI

    I have owned both .The Izuzu is a great motor with the LT95 behind it but on grades it slows considerably and that why I put a overdrive behind it.The 4 speed just didn't have enough gearing hence the overdrive. The 200 in my defender was ok and had reasonable towing and lugging on grades but all in all the Izuzu was the pick .On my farm I used to pull stumps with it no trouble at all .. it has got grunt to spare but is very B........noisy due , I think , to its long stroke..everyone knows you are in a diesel
