5th gear is about as handy as 4th gear

ear muffs needed ... at idle

isuzu on par with a 2.8 hilux and almost all defenders will out-perform the 2.8 hence meaning???

and as for horse power ratings r all these figures rated engine horse power? or is it at the wheels/ground figures?

sounds like some thing is realy wrong with your isuzu, sick even

i think it might be a case of people and there Dougals!!!

Ever heard of a factory releasing figures for wheel hp?
I haven't.

Basically a factory 200/300tdi is a wash compared to a factory 4BD1 power and (peak) torque wise. However a lot can happen in the 20 odd years from the factory.

Anyone thinking a factory 300tdi can outrun a 4BD1 with a bolted on turbo needs to put their money on the line.
Anything thinking a tweaked 300tdi can outrun a tweaked 4BD1T needs to front up with pink slips.

i dont think there is anything wrong with the isuzu clean32 but i do accept that the 4bd1T has alot more power but i would love to hav someone take me for a run in one!!! rangier rover said he would take me for a run if i was out his way

well say for the 106hp figure u gave us u can reduce that down ALOT for wheel horse power! i know my 200tdi is running roughly 70-80hp at the wheels and my mates 300tdi running 120hp at the wheels (said he is around the 200hp at the engine)
he would race anyone on here but as i said i dont know what his thoughts were on the pink slip part

Your mate is dreaming, you are a nutter.

By all means, get a drive of a turbo, different planet really. But it reminds me of when I got our Isuzu. 2 Isuzu’s side by side heading up the same hill and I drag off my mate. Why? he wasn’t blowing smoke ( much) so off to Isuzu for a look see. New injectors and a play on the dyno and now he was dragging me off. so I got stuck in, timing was a bit out, rockers a bit out, matched the manifolds and cleaned them out etc now there’s nothing in the same drag up the same hill. Then I get into YT110's turbo Isuzu and hes using the brakes up the same hill ( jealous)

my point is that the Isuzu can lose performance and we don’t notice it, snorkel or dirty air filter etc, its easy to lose 10Kw. your post paints quite a depressing picture I suspect that maybe a birthday is due?

bush i know my mate is not lieing he runs his on the dyno all the time and trust me the thing does 130km/h in 4th (yes gears play a part yes) will not say his name on here due to he hates people pestering him about car related things
