I will be embarking shortly on a long term camper build based on a 78 Series (c/w flip up roof, probably Alu-cab). Given its intended usage will be mainly overseas I will want LHD. I want to stick to a 4.2 diesel but would like the extra grunt of a turbo/intercooler to get to 170-200HP/lots of low torque. I have heard that certain markets had 78 Troopy with the 1HD-FTE engine....does anyone know where these were and were they LHD? This is just one avenue.....I may go with a turbo/intercooler kit on a HZJ78
I like the 1HD-FTE on my 100 Series but it is a relatively complex engine.....but some turbo add-ons can adversely affect the life/performance/operating envelope of engines that weren't designed with that in mind
Any thoughts? I'm guessing that some of this has been covered before....perhaps it would be easier to point me to the relevant posts
Apologies in advance
