......and it isn't that quick.....

A six cylinder Land Cruiser will blow it into the weeds, let alone a V8 Cruiser

Oh, and I'm fed up with fixing the damned thing.

My 130 is used as a truck so it will be getting a real truck engine in the medium term to replace the car engine that has needed a bottom end rebuild as the bearings can't take the load of the relatively mild state of tune it has and it will more than likely need a head gasket soon too as it's at that age when 300Tdi's let go and it's due another timing belt and I really should replace the water pump and P gasket just in case....at about 1/4 the km a Suzi would need repairs.

Next to break will be the R380 behind a 4BD1T.....

Be interesting how the R380 holds up actually. If you don't use it as a barge like I do it should be fine.

You will love the 4BD1T . Mine not overly fueled, pulles away from the Cruisers and Patrols in the hills. I'd love to try a variable vane turbo with intercooling

Quote from the last bloke who did the rego......Came back after a brake test with a big smile on his face, and said..... xxxx this thing pulls like a truck!

I didn't say your mate was lieing. I said:

Your mate is dreaming, you are a nutter.

From evidence in your later posts I could say a lot more about you - none flattering, so will leave it there.

Chief

Do you realize an NA 4BD1/LT95 will sit on 140kph quite happily?

sorry bush65 didnt mean to offend you.

and dobbo ringing its neck does not mean quiet happily unless you are reffering to having the right foot only half way (meaning it is quiet happy)?

yeah dougal not trying to start any fights with anyone or anything but i am just pushing the otherside of the equation about why 4bd1T's are so good just to see everyones points of view thats all when it comes down to it were all together against tojo drivers

The main advantage of the 4BD1T is it's 50% greater displacement and built like the proverbial brick outhouse. This means less boost to do the same job but also an engine that can take boost pressures which read like tyre pressures without giving a damn.

When you work out that power production on any engine is related to airflow, then 50% more displacement and the same boost (factory) means 50% more go.
Throw in the ability to run more than double factory boost without any internal mods and it'll take a village idiot to put money on the other horse.

dobbo u seem very keen on the idea of pink slips i wouldnt want to do this for one factor and that being i dont want to see you without a truck how about we do it a rational way testing 2 motor vehicles against each other like a bit of a roadtest ? what do u rekon quater mile? half mile? or mile?

ok dougal i see that point ... now when isuzu rate the 4bd1T to have 13psi boost and that is boosted up to 15-20psi does the engine have problems that start to occur? where as the tdi's are already at about 14psi hence having no trouble.

I have other cars, even another Land Rover, my Isuzu is my toy. If I loose it I can buy another.

So when we racing? 1/4 mile? what are we American or something? How about a race, not a wankathon.
