    Hey everybody! New member here, been using the forum as a resource for about 5 years since I traded my ‘94 Honda Civic hatchback (with almost new B16 swap) for my ‘90 Trooper S with 4ZE1 pushing 256k miles on it. It’s still running pretty strong, but I know a swap is in my future. It seems...

    Thinking about switching my 92 from gas to diesel. I have a manual transmission and was wanting to keep it that way. Hoping to get recommendations for the engine as well as the transmission as well as a shop if possible (WA) Much appreciated

    Hey everyone, Does anyone have experience with engine wire harness swaps? I have a 2000 Isuzu Rodeo 3.2L manual 2WD that needs to have the engine wire harness replaced. What's the consensus on interchangeability of the donor car specs? Obviously, it'll have to come from a V6 but is there...

    I'm preparing to put a remanned engine in my 2002 Axiom. It's a 3.5l v6 6VE1. (Biggest project I've ever done!) The only part I'm nervous on is the computer stuff. Do I absolutely have it replace the ECM at the same time? If not, can anybody please give me an idea of what all will need to...

    I'm starting to grow pretty tired of the sluggishness from the 2.3l in my 86' and looking for a nice power upgrade. I've heard the 3.4's are great swaps for the 1st gen troopers. Should that be something I go after, or are there better options out there? I'm not the most well rounded person on...

    I’ve recently acquired a 1994 rodeo with the 3.2 v6 4x4 5 speed manual. I absolutely love this thing, it’s in a poor state right now but I’m beginning to repair it. I’ve been driving it work every day for the last couple months and it runs and drives just fine, hasn’t broken yet but keeping my...

  10. General Isuzu Discussion
    Hi everyone, I’m planning on swapping out the engine on my Trooper at some point in the future. For right now I want to prepare for the job. I’m considering making an engine cradle of my own; I figured it’s best to have a cradle that’ll be as closest to the engine dimensions as possible rather...

    1990 Isuzu pu 4x4 engine swap 4ze1, 5 speed manual transmission. Locked up crank. Lost head gasket was dumb and didn't check the bottom end. Do I try to find a 4ze1 block or b4 diesel, 3800v6 or 3.1L v6? I may have rebuildable 3.1L or 3800. They have not been opened up yet.
  12. General Isuzu Discussion
    I’ve been thinking about taking on my first engine replacement for my trooper. I was wondering if there are any suggestions on whether I should just get another 3.5l v6 trooper engine or go another route? What are some other engines that won’t break the bank and are easier to swap? The car has...

    Hey all, I'm doing an ls2 swap in a gen1 trooper and am having some oil pan front axle clearance issues. For those who have done an sas swap, did that increase the clearance to the bottom of your engine, and if so, by how much?
  14. Drivetrain Problems
    Here's the short version: Do I save up to swap the engine? Should I rebuild the engine? Also, what should I have my mechanic check... Here's a little background.. I've got a 97 Trooper MT that I really enjoy driving. But it's got 270k miles on it and its a bit gutless when I'm in the hills and...

    There's somebody in my area selling a trooper with a blown transmission and good engine (and other stuff) for $900. My troopers 3.5 burns oil pretty badly (about 1 quart every 500 miles, give or take). From the pictures of the one for sale, it appears to be have an engine with the screw in pcv...

    I was planning on doing a radio and speaker upgrade write-up with photos. Nope. Clickity-Clack life gives you a whack! I've known that these Isuzu engines can get a bit tap-tap happy and it's fairly normal. Mine however may have crossed over a sound barrier into severe trouble. First batch of...
