No problems at 20psi. Rumour has it the head-gasket will let go around 60psi.

dougal ::o 60psi :o ok so you are running 20psi no problems 60psi is in dangerous territory from what u have heard so say about 35psi what would you be doing to run that in your isuzu but have no melting/desintigrating occur?
Dobbo:easy for u to say because its your play toy and worth considerably less ;) than my deefer and seems a bit of a extreme measure just to find out which vehicle goes better ;)
dougal would u have any video of your truck like rijidij does ?
I think this is the only section of the forum where you can get away with saying that... and I too am disgusted by my Tdi. I don't care what the apologists, the dreamers and those with their false in-their-pants dogma say, but it doesn't have the capacity or the strength to be a true workhorse engine. I really can't see the basis of an argument in this thread, it is such a blatantly obvious black and white point.
Errr, righto everyone play nicely now.
Yes the 4BD1T is a great engine, yes the Tdi is also a great engine. They just have vastly different characteristics.
This was actually a thread about Pumas aswell....:angel:
Be nice to each other :wasntme:

My engine alone is worth $3500, the rest of the car is just pure profit to you. So are you in or not. I'll put down cash to match the red book value of your Defender.
My offer is valid for 24hrs after this post, if you decline then you must admit defeat, post up a formal apology and never speak ill of a 4BD1 again.
1:that is in america where they run things on obscene amounts of boost/fueling(60,70,80psi) and dont care if the thing blows up because they can buy one for half the price we can. so what things does he hav done to the engine?
2:save money on razzors :D
3:know nothing, know something or know too much, how is this determined!!!
4:even dougal takes the time to explain things and not just hav a "thats it no questions about it way" and he loves his isuzu's and likes to argue there points, so maybe u can hav a bit more of a discusion and not just throw it out the window once someone quierys anything about them;)....
5:dobbo please take a look at the figures of the 4bd1 (NA) compared to the Tdi's ;)
6:previous statement i hav made has been that 4bd1 (NA) is around the 50hp mark and i was told i am a nutter! then the next minute someone says "4bd1T is a big difference to the 4bd1(NA) even getting twice the torque and HP around the 100-120hp" doesnt that mean that half of that is 50hp?????? hence meaning i was correct or is dividing numerals done different these days?
I'm off to get my beauty sleep now(Boy do I need it:p), so you lot better not let this discussion degenerate into a slanging match or heads will roll, Achtung:nazilock:
