If you had a choice between a 12H-T or a 1HZ with an after market Turbo
ie. Safari,AXT or Turboglide.
Which ever one chosen would be given a compleate overhaul.
To be put in a HJ45 Troopie (replacing a 2H) and used for for expedition type of driving.
Which would you choose and Why?

Thanks for the input guys keep'em coming.
This is a bit of a hard decision. At least for me anyway.
So a few more questions, trying to get clarity.
I'm hearing that the 12H-T are harder to find and expensive. Also what about parts a few years down the road?
Any one have some approximant prices that 12H-T and 1HZ are going for? Ready for an overhaul.
Will a 1HZ freshly overhauled and turbo'ed go 300km RELIABLY? Not pushed hard, making 160 to 180 HP.
How much more work would it be to put a 1HZ Turbo'ed in a HJ 45/47 over putting in a 12H-T?

12h-t around 3k,

because the 12ht is direct injection and the 1hz is indirect the 1hz is slightly inefficient over the 12ht but does have a smoother idle, also the 1hz needs preheating were the 12ht does not. If a 1hz has a proper turbo set up will go very hard but i believe the indirect injection means it more important to use an intercooler when using high boost levels, were the direct injection can handle a little higher intake air temperatures.
Parts are still no problems for the 12ht still very popular overseas and easily rebuilt. They have a better injector pump that doesnt require adjustment even after increasing boost significantly.
I believe the factory turbo 12ht, even though its becoming aged is by far the best, especially if common reliability is what you seek.
