If I read this thread right, you want to go from diesel auto to Commodore V6? Bear in mind the petrol auto and diesel auto used different transmissions. The petrol used a GM4L30e which is the same guts as a V6 Commodore tranny (not sure if the case is the same). The diesels use an aisin warner AW30 ...

hows the motor swap going?

The top RPMs i saw was 34,000* at 25psi.

(*thats a rough number from memery)

Yup, the little Garret's crank out 25psi easy, but just create heat and loose efficiency over about 15psi which is the factory pressure. No they only start looseing efficiency at 20 psi and the heat that they create is taken away by the massive intercooler and so its still a good boost. True, how ...

Yea the wastgate is set for 16 psi from factory so its not that much more .

I had a Disco and I was running at max free boost 25 psi in it and all I did was disconect the wastgate, advance the fuel injection and put a intercooler that went from one slam panel to the other. I had a piro and a boost gauge and watching them when I was pulling 2 1/2 tons up a steep it only got ...

The weakest point will be the ujs or the diff in the Isuzu. The commy will bolt staght in but thats been done many times before but i will look at it to. I would like to see the new hilux and how it goes. I would be going for an 05 or later motor and trans so it would come with a 6 speed auto trans ...

have a hunt in some aussie forums as the BA series is all electronic fly by wire etc so will be electrics that cause the big hassles. Go turbo if you are doing it, not a lot more to fit although the IC will be tricky i assume. I had an XR6T and it is a torquey beast even stock. 1UZFE I suggest. Not ...

but thats half the fun if you what to do something completly insaine then its worth every cent and it cant be as bad as these guys [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYWusb2X2WI[/youtube]

will contact if we are cutting the body up

I am not just looking at the ford conversion I have looked at putting a 1UZ-FE VVIT in as well as 2UZ-FE, 3UZ-FE, Holden commedor v6, Holden Rodeo v6, toyota surf motor and box and many other! Yes a hemi v8 and a chevy v8 would be fun but the cost of them and the cost to run them and the aftermarket ...

hey Heath sorry we are storing all the parts in the truck and we dont really want to cut it up right now?

The trans is in really good con and drove really smooth when we last drove it. $1500 or give me an offer?

Thanks sorry I couldn't help

Why what were you looking for BlakeNZ

Christchurch

No bull bars sorry
the colour is a sky blue
the wheel is on the back door.

We have most parts for a kn185 toyota surf model SSR.

The surf has been rolled but most panels are still good
auto transmision and trasfer case with toquor converter
motor needs head but otherwise good

We are not selling the diffs right now.

Wow really I didn't know that!
I still think it would be more fun with the falcon motor cos it gets away from GM. I know GM is a good company but I just don't think they are the best and I have had a bad run with them to.

What do you think should I go for a BA, BF or a XR6 and what year?

Go something diffrent put a el falcon motor in it and a ford territory 4x4 trans or gearbox in for some fun?

Thanks that will help alot.
Really GM made something interchangeable part!
yea I know I will measure it soon

There is nothing wrong with the current motor apart from its gutless. The 05 Isuzu rodeo (holden rodeo I prefere to call it what it really is) has lots of toqure don't get me wrong but I also the get up and go and the power to haul heavy loads up long steap hills at 90km. Yes the 05 did come out ...

The motor is a 4jh1 why is that?
I dont know what he plans to do for the trans case.
Ok what aftermarket ecu would you think is the best for the ute and motor?
Thats a good idea use a ford 4x4 trans and it should hold up to the 500hp.

Yea thats the idea. I think it would be a mean conversion to do and I will take lots of photos of the whole conversion but I am sad to say that it might not happen right away cos of lack of funds and some other things but I will contune to do the research for it. Does anyone know wether the Isuzu ...

(nakimud) Yes my rodeo is 4x4 yea it is tight by the mesurments but it looks do able. The reason they arn't the used all that much is cos they are gutless but the torque is good. Right now I am free boosting it so it takes as much boost it wants and running an aftermarket ecu chip, a inline pump to ...

Hi my name it Dallis and I am 18. I own a Isuzu rodeo and I would like to put a falcon ba motor and trans into it. Yes I know it is crossbreading. Dont get me wrong I like my ute but its just a bit gutless for my liking. But back to the question has anyone put a Ba/Bf falcon motor into a Isuzu rodeo ...
