Re: are drivers and passenger seats interchangable?

Thread dredge.
I have a swb Bighorn, I swapped the standard seats for Recaro's.
The Recaro's fit to the standard bases.
I fitted a passenger side seat base to the drivers side and fitted the drivers side seat back to it.

Re: Isuzu parts and service

I am at a loss to understand why cast iron does not make a good liner (if indeed it doesn't?), I have rebuilt alloy engine with steel liners and cast iron rings and not long after it started smoking (to be fair I didn't follow the break in procedure).
Are chrome liners superior to cast iron?.

Re: 0-100kph

My 4jg2t looses power going uphill since I fitted the snorkel, I found out it has a 2.8 turbo fitted.
When I go up the Kilmog I am at 100kph at the bottom and 76kph at the top, I have put a 3" intake pipe into the air cleaner box which has made a difference (86kmh).

Interesting you say that, mine failed on a passenger side seat belt but not on the left front top ball joint that I discovered had play in it.

Re: IHI RHF5/VF10 hybrid turbo.

Has nobody fitted the 3.1 turbo into the VF10?.
