Outer Limits 4x4 Board

A mate is looking into buying a cruiser ute sometime next year and wants to turbocharge it.
He was thinking about getting a 2000 model or later with the 100 series gearbox. Is this box any stronger then the old 75 series box
Theres an old 89 2h in the trado at a good price which he might look into aswell.

Would a turbo off the 7.3 ford V8 diesel be to big and laggy for a 2h or 1hz
Also what about going twin turbos and run a smaller turbo infront of the big huffer Has anyone done this on these engines

Otherwise maybe the turbo off the current subaru GT liberty. 190kw standard and heaps of down low torque.

Thanx

If he buys a non turbo diesel, it will not have the big H151 gearbox. He'll get the smaller R151. But either gearbox is used in the 100 series behind the same engines. In the 100 4.2L n.a. diesel gets the R151, 4.2L turbo and 4.5L petrol get the H151. In the cruiser ute the 4.2L turbo diesel gets a lower 1st gear.

I would think a 7.3L turbo is much bigger than what a 4.2L engine needs. By the time max boost gets there, the engine is out of useable RPM.
