I will never recover what I have into this engine, but I must recover some of it!
This is an SD33T diesel from an 1984 Nissan Patrol. I had it built to the hilt in Australia and then imported it to the USA. The engine build cost me over $25kusd. It than cost me $5k to import, in the 84 Patrol which I used as my shipping container. I am the super duper Patrol addict guy who at one time not to long ago went to embarrassing ends to get s*** nobody else had or probably wanted in N. America.
I have seen one SD33T fitted to an FJ60. I have seen another one fitted to a Land Rover D90. This engine is the equvilent of the 12HT diesel. Almost no elctricals on this engine, fully water proof with a snorkel. If you can getover the fact it is a Nissan TD it will be super awesome in a Land Cruiser. Anything from a 40 to an 80 and this engine will not dissapoint.
I have a new in box NV4500 transmission and Atlas 2-speed t-case along with an adapter to mate this to the SD33T engine. For the right cash deal we can work this in, I bought all of it for this project and it will be a great combo behind the engine.
Short run down on the motor....
-Factory turbo block and base engine for the build, like I say from an 84 Patrol.
-Complete tear down to the bones, magnafluxed, shaved & balanced to extremes.
-Everything new in the build besides the block, crank and cam. All of these three things obviously got grinds and machining.
-Super & Turbo charged, yup I just said that, it is x2 charged! Zero lag, boost off the line! Sprintex S/C and custom Garret T3 turbo. The turbo is both liquid and oil cooled-lubed. S/C lubed from oil pump, even the Sprintex engineers got involved in this!
-Shaved sump system running a 5-stage gear driven oil pump. Custom housing machined to run this off the injection pump cam, does not interfere with timing. Pickup in valve cover and shaved sump, it will literally run upside down and not starve for oil! Super charger is even lubed and cooled via this pump. This is a fully custom system I spent big bucks on. Oil pump alone cost me $3,000.
-Large front mount and smaller top mount intercoolers. Yup I just said that too, it has x2 IC's. Significant drops in temps across the ICs. The engine loves them! Both custom made by PWR.
-Higher pop pressure on injectors to match the build. Custom grind on cam to match the build.
-Fully rebuilt injection pump costing me $2,000.
-Custom pulley system converting it to a serpentine belt, uses a mid-90's Jeep 4L belt.
-Custom tig welded SS remote sump reservoir. This cost me a grand to have fab'ed and it is super nice.
-Port & polish on manifolds and head.
-Lot's of ceramic coating on turbo dump and manifolds. Unbelievable results!
-Top mount oil cooler.
-Very nice custom made PWR aluminium radiator.
-New OEM starter, water pump, glow plugs, head gasket (from Japan) and much more bolt on's.
-All new high pressure steel injection pump lines from Japan, cost me over $500.
-Boost controller fitted, in cab design.
-Custom fitted Hitachi high amp alternator, fitted nice and high. Brand new 12v alt, 125amp iirc.
-I am sure there is much more I am not recalling at the moment.
In short, I am willing to bet there is not another SD33T on the planet like this one. It is a one of a kind build I spared no expense on, it took 2yrs just to build it. With shipping I have over $30k in this engine!! I will never recover that but I need to recover as much as possible. The motor is barely broke in, in fact it is not even fully broke in. I have only done about 150 miles on it tops around my property to work the break in. It needs more to break it in.
I have receipts for everything totaling well over $25,000usd. Engine has been sitting since late 2012 but I turn it over every month or two by hand. The project was designed, engineer and built by Damien, owner of Yuri4x4 in Australia. I know him personally and have been to his shop-house in Australia.

SD33T Dyno day 2

SD33T part 2
This is absolutely a my loss your gain opportunity. I was crazy to build this and I am crazy to dump it. Life however changes and I am leaving the USA, so it must go! I am half tempted to buy a vintage 70's Datsun pickup and drop this in it ratrod style and sling it to try and recoup some more of my $$$. I am leaving in two months though and just don't have time for something like that.
NO BS sale, cash preferred.
Best to just call me directly and I will go on about it for an hour plus if you like.
Lets start it at $15,000obo. Located in Jackson, Wyoming. Could possibly meet in Denver, Boise or Salt Lake City area for the right no BS deal. Tons more pics of the build for serious inquires.
Cheers
