yup. Trooper engine since at least 1999. It's a pretty powerful turbo-intercooler, multivalve, direct injection. Matipid din sa fuel consumption. Medyo mausok kung bibiglain mo.
yung 03 trooper ng kaibigan ko, tumirik sa angeles, umabot ng 5K rpm,ayaw na bumaba. Hanggang ngayon, nasa shop pa. Tinanong ko yung kaibigan kong isuzu service advisor, duda niya baka overhaul na yan kasi affected ang injectors, although guess lang daw kasi di naman doon sa casa ng kilala ko pinasok. According to the casa naman saan pinasok yung trooper, marami na rin daw silang trooper with this engine na ganito ang problema. Ganun ka sensitive ang makinang ito?
this engione's sakit is the injectors will always f#*K u up. trust me guys, i know a lot of ppl who has a trooper with that same engine some 4x4, some 4x2, its always the same injector problem. the engine just suddenly would not start.
There is some cases where in tama si KCBOY (can't argue with that bro)
Pero the prob with 4JX1 engine though it is so powerful, fuel efficient the injection valves has problem.. medyo di kaya ang dumi nang fuel sa atin..
if I were to choose between a 4JX1 to 4Jg2 engine.. dito na ako sa latter.. kahit mahina ang HP niya pero napakadali i troubleshoot..
but still proper maintenance is still the key... medyo ultra migthy morphin sensitive ang injectors niyan... ewan ko ba nga naman sa diesel fuel natin...
what if they use diesel from the smaller oil companies, yung hindi locally refined diesel, mas cleaner ba yun? pati yung shell clean diesel ba di parin ganun ka-clean?

Ano po nangyari sa mga kakilala mo na nagkaproblema sa injector nila? How did they fix the problem? Kasi I was basically decided to get a 2nd hand trooper, nagpapahanap ako sa bayaw ko, ayun, siya nagkwento tungkol doon sa trooper ng common friend namin. Sa inis niya, parang nagbitaw ng salita na ibebenta na lang daw niya. It's a 03 trooper. Meron na rin daw 02 trooper casa maintained so may options ako. But with what happened... back to square 1 na naman
Given the experience (47,000 pesos), looking back, would you recommend pa rin getting this engine? Or the conscious effort required given the special oil needed plus the dirty pinoy diesel and cocodiesel option that means you have to put every fill up, are these enough to justify buying a trooper with this engine?
nope!!!!!!!the trooper was casa maintained all the way til now and ganun pa din ang nangyari. d kaya talaga ang dirty diesel. kaya i'm staying away muna from commonrail diesel engines.
