4JB1T overhaul questions!

Post by MrWho »

Hi all!

I have an Isuzu 4JB1T engine fitted to a Land Rover 90, it has run fairly well and I really can't complain about it.

Recently, it has shown symptoms of a worn clutch disc, so I am planning to get out the whole engine a do some refreshing (it could include a major overhaul, just for the sake of peace of mind).

So, here comes my question: the engine has a turbo fitted from factory, but I would like to improve it with an intercooler (I already got the proper intakes and piping from an intercooled version of a similar engine, to modify it), is the upgrade just a straightforward one or should I worry about getting stronger pistons, a different fuel pump or injectors, that kind of things?

Thank you very much in advance!

Cheers!

Hi Geeves!

Thank you very much! Every time I get more convinced that a full overhaul is the best option here (self indulgence, maybe? ;) ).

I'll start collecting the bits needed before removing the engine and dismantling it.

Cheers,

LB.
