94 Isuzu Trooper 4BT Conversion
I have a 1994 Isuzu Trooper, 4BT with cpl 0730 with 41 hours on it from test facility, GM transmission adapter and flex plate, diesel lock up torque converter, 700r4 4 speed overdrive automatic built basic HD, TCI deep tranny pan, Lokar shifter, NP208 transfer case, NP205 transfer case with PTO, WVO duel fuel conversion.
After seeing and riding in Dave's 8,000 Lbs. Beast and discovering its ability to get up on the highway better than the Trooper at 4200 Lbs. with stock 3.2 liter gas engine I decided the 4BT would go in completely stock initially as a "control" for getting base line performance measurements.
My Trooper will weigh in at approximately 4700 Lbs. when complete. I will do performance upgrading in two stages.
Stage #1 - Turn fuel screw up, replace governor spring with 3200 spring, swap the H1C industrial turbo with a HY35 9cm2 turbo, plumb the inter-cooler.
Stage #2 - Replace injectors, P pump, ceramic coat piston tops and teflon coat skirts, rebuild 700r4 for 400hp/600ftlb. Wake me up I think I am dreaming. I would only do this if it captures my interest and I live long enough.
So, to date I have followed and performed these steps on the road to conversion.
1. Buy a 1994 Isuzu trooper and get rid of 1988 Trooper.
A. 94 Trooper is significantly stronger than the 88
