I am not overly familiar with the Mitsubishi engines, but I know similar Gen Isuzu's (4BD1T) had 9.5 mm plungers and are capable of delivering 180cc of fuel. Enough for about 250hp. So assuming the pumps are the same as the Isuzu's, I am guessing that you can get more fuel. I am not sure if...

Do you know what size plungers the pump has? I assume its a Denso? Also, I assume you haven't wastegated the turbo (yet?) I don't know if I'd want a diesel to last long at a 14.5 AFR :Wow1: My F250 currently is running 18:1 - has a very light haze at WOT, and 330kW/1360Nm at rear 35", a touch...

Far and away the Nissan Patrol, simply for the robustness of the whole drivetrain and engine if its a TD42 - and it is probably the most comfortable vehicle listed there in an overland situation too. They are all capable off-roaders, but any tour operator or exploration company I know of that...

As has been mentioned, if it is going into limp home mode, it should throw a code. I'm not sure if pulling a fuse shows all codes, but I would get a code reader on it to double check. I personally suspect that its a fuel issue (not boost), but trying to diagnose without understanding all the...

Most gauges read in "gauge" pressure unless it states "absolute pressure". Meaning that 23.77psi is in addition to standard atmospheric pressure. Are you blowing any black smoke? What are your EGT's? More boost without fuel will increase your AFR, most likely won't add any additional power (in...

There is a lot to be said for light weight.

Ah, got it, so it shuts off fuel too. Good to know. I know you can make decent power from OM352/OM366's with winding up the fuel pump. Looking forward to seeing your final results!

Low Sulphur by itself is not much "better for emissions". Low Sulphur fuel enables fitment of specific emissions equipment (specifically DPF), that fail with high sulphur fuel being used. Countries that do not have Low Sulphur fuels typically also don't have the emissions requirements that need...

Not being familiar with the Unimogs, is there not a wire that runs to a fuel cut-off solenoid at the injection pump? I'd be worried about just using an exhaust brake to shut it down in case of a manifold leak.

I think it does come down to what your plans are - and how ambitious you want to be. I met an E series Falcon on the Old Telegraph Track, have heard stories of people crossing the Simpson in 2wd VW Kombi's, and heck even "Trophy Trucks" that usually win the Baja 1000 are only 2wd. All of these...

The latter pages of this thread has some suggestions for turbo's etc. The engine is fitted to a Landcruiser in this case, but the theory is the same. http://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/mitsubishi-4d34-2at3b-diesel-swap-into-96-fzj80.489409/

Most countries do not require an IDP, but the local law enforcement that pulls you up may not know that (or want to know that ;) ). I would definitely advise carrying an IDP in any non-English speaking country whether it is required or not. I personally order 3 of them, in case a corrupt police...

I've dealt quite a bit with this. Essentially the law will apply to the same category of license that you hold. If you own a "car" license from Australia, and you travel to the US, you will be fine in any vehicle up to 26,000lb GVW, or any vehicle "classified" as an RV. If you have a "car"...

I'd keep the 4d34t and seek more power from it if possible, unless you are having issues with your current motor. It will be far away the cheapest and easiest options. I'd fit an EGT guage pre-turbo, swap the turbo and start winding up the fuel screw. If you want to do an engine swap, I'd look...

Warranty for the Fuso will be no different to any other manufacturer. If you make modifications/or do things to your truck outside of what Mitsubishi authorize (i.e. not genuine Mitsu accessories), they reserve the right to decline warranting a failure if they believe this was caused by the...

The Ford ZF-6's are the pick of the transmissions listed - the 03+ diesel trans has a proper transmission cooler and is rated at 570 Ft/Lb input. In reality it will take a LOT more than that. The issue you have with the NV271/273 is they are all indexed from the transmission for a...

Add Servicability to that list. I moved from a Fuso to an F250 for the comfort/power reasons that Allan stated. I really miss the 15s job it was to flip up the cab and have excellent access to the entire engine.

Airbags IMHO make sense if you have significant load variation, or need/want to alter the ride height for different scenarios. If you do neither of those things, you are best served (again IMHO) to have suitable springs made up to take the weight of your camper/vehicle. Given the "cab forward"...

I think the term "zero emissions" in this context means, "zero emissions equipment".

Registration in Australia includes compulsory 3rd party insurance for personal injury. If you add the 2 costs you have for registration + personal injury, it will get pretty close :)
