Have you found out anything about similarity between the 4jb1 and 4jj1? I've just been having a trawl around the net looking for info and have seen that there is a small number of low KM wrecked Colarado's and D-Max's starting to appear at the auctions now and depending on what a wreck goes for it could be a reasonable engine conversion.Quote:

Other than a slight increase in swept volume, what's the benefit of swapping the 4JB1 head over rather than just using the 4JB1-T as it is?
I have the 4JB1-T in my 90 if anyone needs any pics or measurements.
The 4JJ1 would probably have better head ports and breathe better. Whether this is worth the hassle of trying to make some mechanical injectors fit is another debate.Quote:

I wouldn't mind having a drive of yours some time if that is possible. (and a chat about isuzu gearboxes...).
I am half inclined to set up a project for the mech/elec eng students to design (and possibly build) a diesel electric conversion for my IIA though instead. However I would need to find a 40+ kVa diesel genset first, that doesn't weigh as much as a house...
Sure is, although I am just about to strip her down as she needs a good 'service' plus I robbed the PS box to go on the 110 after it decided to spray its contents everywhere.... Chat's are welcomed anytime :)Quote:

That sounds like by far the eaiest way to go. As long as the bolt pattern is the same...Quote:
