Anyway, looking at getting a cheap 4wd to try out 4wding. Either a 70 series Landcruiser or a early Surf with 2LT diesel.
Now these 2LT diesels suffer from over heating and cracking the head, I've read that fitting a 2.5" exhaust helps with extracting some heat and a little bit of performance.
But what about fitting an intercooler, such as a standard 4agze cooler but front mounted? Surely this should give a some sort of increase in power (Not a heck of a lot, since they are a ball breaking 60kw's out of the box (!) and also keep the temps down.
Has anyone ever stuffed around with these old diesels? Will they handle having an intercooler fitted without changing fueling? And if so will they handle a couple of pounds more boost?
If it blows up i'd look at fitting a 5 or 7mge.
Or just go straight for a landcruiser 3.4diesel.
Any thoughts?

Cheap, easy and bang for buck. The 5m and 7m will fit the standard mounts and they also fit the w5* with correct bellhousing.
7mge has 200hp vs the 80ish of the 2lt.
Sounds good to me.

dead ones can be had for under $1k......
just another option

Would be cool but conversion cost is pretty high.
ie
custom bellhousing
custom flywheel and clutch
wiring
mounts
cert
etc etc
Drive in drive out cost is usually around $10k.

really? i was told by a reputal engine reconditioner they run waterjackets between the valve seats and thats primary cause for them cracking.
Ive fitted new heads to 2LTs and theyve been back within 3months with same problem. They are just shi**ers!.
