Sorry I just read the Members rig rules.
My Names Tim
I live just north of Sydney Aus
The old girl (the camper that is) has the old c223t.
It has an older style LPG fumigation system .
Ive bought a reco short block from Brisbane ,I plan to have the rods shot peened .
Down the track (after registration) Im going to plumb in a old Saab intercooler and a Toyota SC12 supercharger
Hopefully the bottom end will hold up.
I know the 4jb1t is a popular engine to build up. Im building up the c223t for reasons that Im not sure.

If you already have the c223 with a reco then its a good motor. Intercooler is a good idea but not sure if there is much point on the supercharger. The motor is already turbo ed.
Sanding your knuckles before starting work can help. That way you cant skin them

I JUST got my 1992 Isuzu Rodeo Camper (JDM import) with 4JB1 Turbo diesel with 100,000 km. I drove it about 550 km to get home, and everything seems to be running great, but I'm brand new to diesels and campers. Any ideas on where to find an owners manual. I've already downloaded 2 engine manuals, but I would like advice on the electrical, propane and water systems.

Thanks
Peter
