Should help you....

Yeah, 4BD1, IsuzuDieselSwapper Adaptor plate, 700R, Adaptor (bloke in SAfrica makes them, or easy enough to make), LT230, combo would work very easily.

The adaptor I read rotates the LT230 slightly to clear the front drive shaft off the auto sump. Either need to move the engine forwards (putting ...

Any developments with the a auto (any) behind the 4BD1?

I am considering doing such a conversion.

Came across this while doing a little research.....

When a ZF4 series transmission shifts to 4th gear, clutch pack element "F" applies, which then allows the rear planetary section to lift and ...

Apart from the better pedal feel, would you say it stops better (than when the drums were in good condition)?

Stops better? In terms of daily driving - well not really, if that was the only reason to change from drum to disc I wouldn't bother.

Drums would lock my back end up no problem on tarmac ...

Just done a drum to disc conv on my county as one of the cylinders on the drum brakes started leaking and I had a set of rangy axles lying about.

Used;

1. 16mm laser cut brackets for caliper mounts
2. Washers to space out the above bracket with longer bolts
3. Rangy rear end hub and disc.
4. Rangy ...

I remember seeing this (or another lowered vehicle) about 5 years ago out at the Landrover Show. Was a SWB ute, other than no other details.

Yes! I need all the galvanised bits on that..... but could probably get away with just the top corner bits.

This should be in wanted but....

Anyone have the galvanised cappings that go on the top of the rear bulkhead of a cab ute? The piece(s) that then the rubber from the roof sit on when you bolt it up. Can be of 110/defender or series vehicle I am told.

Though it would be easy to track down but so ...

the engine actually sits quite high. you'll notice in that pic i had to do a bit of bonnet reshaping with a 2lb hammer

The only thing that got me on my conversion too! The ZF auto's are 120mm longer than a LT77 so my engine sits further forwards than what Callums does (enough room ...

My thoughts.... (I have both a stock 4BD1 110 with LT85 and a 4JB1-T 90 with ZF auto.

Comparison of Isuzus;

4BD1
More torque down low
A bit rattly (but who cares?)

4JB1-T
Freer revving
With the turbo kicked in more power (although my auto zaps that away than when compared to the 4BD1 and manaul ...

Looking to do the same to my 90 (convert to tray back ute). Have tried Anthony in Bayswater. In no desperate hurry to find one as I have a soft top to go on but if someone comes across one would be thankful to hear about it!

Also have a 90 hard top if anybody is interested...... am located in melb.

I put some seats out of a classic range rover.

Drill the indents on the slider plates out.
Bolt them to seat box.
Slide on seat.

To get to the battery, just slide the seat all the way forwards and off the rails, and lift out of vehicle.

Mate you should of said earlier. I just came from Melbourne last week to Seattle and I have about 5 of these filters sitting in my garage!

If you can't find one over there let me know and I will get one here and send it too you if you give me somewhere to send it too. Needs to be by this thursday ...

Perfect. Thanks for the info.

A quick one as the search gave me nothing...

Does anybody know if the turbo from a 4JG2 3.1 TD Trooper engine is a straight bolt on swap to the 2.8 4JB1 TD engine?

Thanks.

I may have one of these. It will be on CD. I will check for you when I get home.

110 3.9 Isuzu LT85 1.003 3.54 235/85R16

From memory;
Best = 8L / 100 KM
Worst = 13.5L / 100 KM
Average = 9.5l / 100 KM


90 2.8 Isuzu (4JB1-T) ZF auto 1.222 3.54 255/85R16

Between 8 - 9.5L / 100 KM (once again from memory will check when I am home)

I drive 99% on gas, so my fuel ECONOMY is $10 ...

...kickdown cable is one of teh major glitches. and what a job to change. Valve chest out job.



I have been told you can change KD cable from out side the box carefully.

You can change the KD cable with only needing to pull the oil pan off. Quite easy just takes a little delicacy with a ...

Body - general wear and tear. No extreme abuse, but not cared about. A few dents and some corrosion. Bulkhead is shagged (but have a replacement) and the rear door is pretty much shagged too.

i think he ended up getting about 8k with rego

Thanks

Ok,

How much would everyone think a 1986 Landrover 90 with a Isuzu 2.8 TD (4JB1) and a ZF 4spd auto, with a rough body but a good chassis be worth in Australia?

I need input asap!

Thanks

Pay your aunt $3,500 and have both

......the caliper mounts on the swivels?

Is this the disc brake conversion using the Valiant calipers?

A High Lift jack is probably one of the most unsafe and un practical pieces of sh*t you could possibly use , I hate them and i refuse to use one again ..

Hey Charger

No offence intended Hey Charger, but;

This is typical of (many) modern management practices. Get access to something ...

I would disagree with the second point, even the standard rover hand brake should never be used to stop a vehicle from highway speed, it is a parking brake NOT an emergency brake. Pulling it on at speed breaks lots of stuff, not recommended!

Glad you didn't tell my 'parking' brake on my old ...

Grubb, can you please provide some stats for the 4jb1 and some info on the conversion - ie cost and source of adaptor, where you are located and so on and what sort of economy you are getting.

thanks,
Nick.

Sure....

G'day,

I am sure the 4BD1 would be a great engine drivability wise in front of an auto.

However, I am not so sure a ZF could cope with the torque on a longer term, but would also not be suprised if it could - you would have to suck it and see. I think it is JustinC who is doing this very ...

i own a 75 series troopy. now in the owners manual it says not to exceed something like 16km/h in low range.

Now the truth is coming out about 'toy' LCer's......................

Electric fans option.

Most effiecient, can be fully stopped while wading.

More exspensive, more lilely to be shagged from water/mud.

Visous option.

Cheaper than electric. Less like to be shagged.


I run the standard non-viscous on my 4BD1 - more a tourer though and reliability is its ...

The diff locks can't engage if the switch for the compressor is on (doesn't matter if there is air in the tank - if the compressor is not turned on, the diff locks won't activate.)
They are wired as primary-secondary (typically rear-front) so the front locker can't be turned on if the rear locker ...
