Got it thanks Doug. Don

Doug720 So the banjo bolt that has the smaller holes is the one that goes into the injection pump correct? Sorry for being thick. I printed out all the photos from your link in the past. I built my system to match yours except I used 3/4", 3/8, and 1/4 npt fittings. 3/4" Hydraulic hose is...

I have a 1992 4BD2T that I’ve just finished building a remote oil filter setup for that is similar to the one Doug720 designed. I need help with banjo bolts that attach the steel oil feed line to top of oil filter housing, injection pump, and pump gear cover. Two bolts have large holes and...

All I’m installing a 1992 4BDT2 into my 1988 FJ62 using Longbow Don’s adapter method. Big thanks to Don and others for their help thus far. All is going well after setting on it for over a year. Adapters are done and engine is now bolted to Toyota A440F. Along the way I’ve installed a new...

Don- Thanks again Doug720....I'll look at your buildup this evening. thanks, Don F.

Don- I got my ring back from local machine shop along with modified Isuzu TC plate with the Toyota TC mounted to it. All looks good I just need to use the transfer punches on the ring and drill and tap the ring. Got the new head on the 4BD2T and valves adjusted. Waiting on heat shields and...

Roger that Dougal. I'll see if I can find a 12mm x 1.75 helicoil kit. thanks, don

That is good to know Dougal. Woulld this be a stronger approach as I assume the thickness of the helicoil might allow for more material engagement, thanks, Don

Thanks Don for your quick response. FJ40 with Isuzu....how cool is that! I got my new head for the 4BD2T today so will be installing in the morning. Injectors have been rebuilt and adjusted. Two were leaking and pressure was low on all. 94 model turbo is getting rebuilt and will be done...

Don, Well after almost a year delay I've pulled the 3FE and have all my adapter parts at the machine shop right now. I sent my TC to the RoadRunner as well and it is back now. I cut the ISUZU TC housing as you did. Machine shop has turned it down and rebuilt Toy TC is mounted to it. They...

Don, Thanks so much. Will be replacing seals today and maybe adjusting the valves. With luck the harmonic balancer will arrive as original is shot. Don F

Thanks guys for all the feedback. Don- 13.5" plate dia sounds great. I measured 13" across the luggs of the Isuzu bell housing that will face the A440F. Thanks for the info reguarding the governor. Were you able to use any of the bottom bolt holes on the Isuzu side of the adapter plate? In...

Thanks Don. As soon as I get the seals changed out on the 4bd2, oil pan modified, and turbocharger rebuilt I'll be pulling the 3FE, A440F, and tranfer case out of the Crusier. Buy the way do you remember the OD of the 5/8" 6061 AL plate that I'll need to buy? Thanks again for ithe...

Don, Thanks for your quick response and great information. I have wasted so much time & energy trying to determine which direction to go and you have now made it a no brainer. I will be sending my gas A440F converter off to the guys at Roadrunner Torque Converters to rebuild and lowering the...

Don, I’m very interested in the method you used to adapt an A440F to an Isuzu 4bd1. I own a 1988 FJ62, 1992 4bd2t, and a wastegated turbo from a 1994 motor and have been considering different ways to adapt the A440F to the Isuzu motor. I was until recently planning to have the trans side of...
