    LJ70 2.4 LT-2 ,any ideas to get more power out of it without destroying the engine?

    Well, bad news for the J70 project, the head is a paper weight. Guys at the machine shop confirmed the classic disfunction of said 2LT, its cracked. Roughtrax or maybe OEM head from a different year, or even a motor swap (diesel only) I am going to check this next but if anyone has a...

    LJ70 2.4 LT-2 ,any ideas to get more power out of it without destroying the engine?

    Love it, I am going to research, all this info is so helpful and I do appreciate it. I realize in the US, the 70 is scarce and the resources are too. Diesel is not common either and on top of that the (VW) TDI scandal has made it even more unpopular. I took me a year to find a mechanic in NY...

    Wha, nice. Ok very good. Very exited. Yes, on the pizza cutters, I just recently learned of this term and i did not know if this was universal slang. On the subject of tires, do you think its better to get larger wheels , for example 17” to reduce the weight of the 33” tires? I feel like the...

    There is also a Vermont reg option, its on line and they send you the tags via the mail… and you can use your own address (obviously, Out of state) I did this for my J70 which I purchased in Florida and it was from Spain.

    LJ79 sticky brakes problem

    Ah, maybe the pads… i am not sure but maybe the pads are ridding on the rotors, lie tight on there where it heats up while driving. just a thought. s.

    LJ70 2.4 LT-2 ,any ideas to get more power out of it without destroying the engine?

    Interesting, so are you saying that 3L head will fit the 2L block? Nice set up, my brake booster is on the left… i am going to have to figure out how to make it fit. Tomorrow the original head off the LJ73 is going to the machine shop to be cleaned and refitted, exited to see this running...

    LJ70 2.4 LT-2 ,any ideas to get more power out of it without destroying the engine?

    I have a 92’, not as nice as yours but i am working on it. My thoughts on the power was installing an inter cooler. Cools the air before it comes into the turbo. I myself have not tried this, I am still working on getting this road worthy but this will be next step. good luck
