Best diesel engine for 92 tamaraw fx

**geo** · November 13th, 2004 11:16 PM

guys i need your help. I am thinking of changing my tamaraw's 5k engine to a diesel engine. Ano kaya ok? Pwede ba makina ng crosswind ? Hanap ko kasi powerful and fuel efficient as well. Thanks in advance.

2C turbo engines are a straighforward swap into the Tamaraw FX.

I wonder if the 4AGE will fit? :D

Or Isuzu's C series engines; C190, C221, C223. But the last engine will require tranny change and engine/tranny supports remounting.

Thnx guys, ok kaya yung sa makina ng isuzu pickup like fuego.

May kalakihan ang makina ng Isuzu Fuego, baka hindi magkasya sa engine bay. Plus the added weight, that will require you modify front suspension settings to compensate. Btw, were you referring to Fuego 4x2 Standard 4JA1 Naturally Aspirated or 4x2 LS 4JB1T Turbo?

Isuzu diesel engines:
4JA1 2.5L - Power=78*4000 (ps/rpm); Torque=17*2300 (kg-m/rpm);
4JB1T 2.8L - P=100*3800; T= 23*2300

C190 - P=62*4400; T=?
C223 2.2L - P=61*4000; T=13.3*2000

Toyota diesel engines:
2C 2.0L - P=73*4700; T=13.5*2800
2C-T 2.0L - P=87*4000; T=18.3*2200

For reference, your previous engine is:
5K 1.5L (gas) - P=83*5200; T=?

Thanks ungas for your info. so you are saying the 2c-turbo is the best option for me right now" Balita ko kasi "disposable" daw na makina yun . Mas maganda ata feedback sa 2L kaso mukhang malaki yung makina. What do you think? If i change the engine to 2c or 2L , for sure i will change the transmission gear ratio right?

my guess is
if you choose 2c, no need to change tranny
baka sa 2L, you will do some modifications.

yung disposable po ay yung 2C dahil merong mga plastic parts sa loob. hindi po yung 2C-T (with turbo).

sir ghosthunter,
may gumawa na ng 4AGE sa tamaraw. hehe.
