just want to give my opinion and observation mga sir,
we have a taxi (revo bought from manila with the engine already changed by the previous owner) with engine 2lt so far ok naman kahit puro akyatan ang terrain (baguio). 24-7 and sched ng byahe. we had it for 2 years.. mas matipid sa adventure sa consumo ng diesel as expirienced by many taxi drivers here. kaya halos lahat revo ang taxi dito.
regarding naman sa 4d56 and 2L engine ( both no turbo).. well, just comparing the L300 and the toyota hi-ace one can already see the difference in performance.. majority ng mga garage franchise owners nagshift na sa hi ace for the reasons that malakas sa akyatan and malayo sa overheating yung makina.. maybe partly it has something to do with the set up of transmission and the differential ( gear ratio or something).
sir yellowjip with my experience sa 2LT engine ,bolt on tranny for this engine
are 21R or 18R na tranny kya kung pang 21R ang tranny mo swak yan sa 2LT.
Kung sa shorter tranny naman may nag co-convert ng floor shift na tranny ang gamit na shifter (kambyo) ay yun mga pang isuzu nkr ,so yun shifter mo may cable sya papuntang tranny to shift the gear...galing ng pinoy sa convertion dami dyan...
Guys here is some information about the 4dr6 Mitsubishi jeep do you guys think it will be a good candidate for my wrangler?
This is the reproduction model of the original Willys Jeep by the Japanese. In 1953 Mitsubishi got the rights to build Willys and the Mitsubishi Jeep was born; manufactured from 1953 - 1998.
In 1970 Mitsubishi upgraded the engine from 2.2L Diesel to 2.7L diesel motor and soon became popular for its legendary reliability and added power. In 1986 the 2.7L engine received turbo charger and a reworked head boosting the refinement and power output to 94hp*3500rpm & very high torque density to weight ratio of 152lbs/ft*2000rpm, curb vehicle weight 1350 kg (actualized torque 21.0kg/m*2000rpm, 152lbs/ft*2000rpm or 206 NM*2000rpm).
4DR6 turbo direct injection engine is derived from 4DR5 2.7 Liter naturally aspirated engine. The head is modified to whirlpool type combustion chamber for direct injection system (Compression ratio 17.5) to produce maximum power, torque and fuel efficiency of 15.5km/liter or 36.6 miles / US gallon. Turbo is a Mitsubishi Heavy Industries waste gate equipped TD04 type turbocharger.
4DR6 (1986 ~ 1994) is recognized to be called the strongest Jeep engine with highest torque that starts from low engine speeds. Good torque characteristics helps minimize or eliminate turbo lag. In addition cooling, lubrication system, combustion chamber and the like were modified to accommodate all the added power while keeping the reliability at its best. Jeep engines are designed to operate on variety of fuel grades, qualities and extreme weather conditions making them suitable to operate around the world.
Over the years every aspect of the 4x4 drive train has been improved to modern standards. The interior including weather equipment and instrument panel are made to look original. Fitted with the ever reliable 2.7 liter Mitsubishi 4DR6 direct injection turbo diesel, this vehicle can cruise all day at highway speeds and tackle the toughest off road conditions with superb approach (47°) and departure (35.5°) angles. Overall Mitsubishi Jeep J53 is an ultimate turn-key off road machine your money can buy.
