I have a 81 te diesel 1.8 4fb1 naturaly aspirated and ever one is after the diff it is the shabbyest gemini on the road how big could i go with diesel there is a 1.8 4fb1 turbo diesel i know that fits The 2.8 4JB1 turbo intercooled diesel in a rodeo sounds more appeling or mabe im dreaming i live in sydney and hardly any one in this forum is from sydney i want to know if we could meet at the wall at cronulla like a crusie or something I know i have high hopes please any info would be apreciated |

| yeah ill cruz. about the engine- is it really worth the effort? really youve gota weigh it up, your G161 and bit of work could munch the v6, or at least give it a good run, but even better the straight bolt in- no break upgrade g200. lots less hassle! |

i heard that the rodeo v6 was all alloy and made 140kw... and it's tiny. i'd say that would kick arse. turbo........

| Was driving a 3.2 litre V6 rodeo this arvo... unfortunately I didn't manage to pilfer the engine... must get around to checking if they run a gear linkage or if the lever goes straight into the box, and also measure the distance from the back of the engine to the gear lever. |
