Hi all,
New to the diesel world. I am a recent grad with a BS in Mech Eng and like all things that rotate or go BOOM. Currently in the process of buying a 4bt for a swap into a 87 grand wagoneer. Why a 4bt you ask? Judging by measurements and other experiences they seem to fit better, wont kill the drive-ability with weight, and I can run the stock axles for a little while if I am easy on the skinny pedal. I wanna say that this is a great site for ideas and seem to be very helpful.
Plans so far:
Rebuild 4bt
Tweak VE pump with 3200 Spring and fuel pin
Adjust timing
Looking to get a mild cam (Hamilton Cams or PDR)
New valve springs (60 lbs I think)
A turbo conversion of the H1C (High Tech Turbo)
Injectors of some sort (NO idea which yet. Would like suggestions)
Air to Water Intercooler (Frozen Boost)
I think I am going to need a head stud kit.
If I am missing anything or others have some input please by all means fill me in.
Later,
Jay
