    Diesel swap

    Hey guys! So, I was talking to my buddy about the different swap possibilities I have for this vx(merely entertaining ideas as I really have no money/time to actually act on these ideas) when he suggested that I swap the 3.5 for a turbo diesel. I checked really quickly on these forums and hadn't seen any threads on people that have successfully swapped to the trooper diesel engines. I was wondering if there was anybody interested in a diesel swap and wanted to talk about it a little. I mean, you can't beat those MPGs! Plus, better torque, more horsies, better water resistances, towing capacity... Let me know what you think!

    More horses? According to this the 4JB1-T made only 115 HP, the 4JG2 made only 112 HP, and the 4JX1 made only 157HP. Were you thinking of going to a non-Isuzu diesel?
