DigInfo - http://movie.diginfo.tv
Isuzu's D-Core is a next-generation, high efficiency diesel engine series designed with proprietary Isuzu technology and is expected to be the core for future diesel engines. The new series utilizes a Variable Geometry System, or VGS, turbocharger to achieve high output from a small engine. In addition to maximizing the torque in proportion to the engine displacement, Isuzu pursued a more lightweight, compact design, and as a result, the various performance features demanded in engines such as fuel efficiency and weight were improved from the ground up to achieve high level environmental performance.
@breeder999 yea there definatly out there.... but from first hand experiance with all the aches and pains that they wont tell you when they install it, I would not recomend it to anyone.
@ragnotgizmo I saw a kit for around 3 grand that is used to convert old waste cooking oil into bio diesel.
@Blackinterceptor999 you'll need a lot more than just the waste oil from your left over cookings.... trust me we did a conversion kit on our 06 beetle tdi... the mpg goes way down, as compared to bio or regular diesel.... plus if you don't turn over your tanks fast enough you'll be replacing a lot of parts frequently. If I were you just stick with Bio Diesel, you don't have to do any conversions.
Makes ya wounder why GM made the crappy v8 diesels when they owned 51% of Isuzu all these years.
People aren't fimiliar with them but thats just because they aren't as common as Cummins but they sure are as reliable. If people could have got a Isuzu enigne in their Chevy pickup years ago there would be hardly any Dodge Cummins around and alot more Chevy one tons.
sounds expensive to me. I'm looking for an engine to swap into my car to be able to use all this waste cooking oil my family produces (we fry a lot of foods.)
Will they put this on Alterra?
engine manufactureres know best, as they are ones making the engine, and if suffocating the engine is the way to go to acheive what they want then thats the way to go, if you want 0-60 in 2 seconds to break your neck on the way to the supermarket, go get a supercar
isuzu engine is hard to repair
There is nothing special about this, they are just changing the turbo! All they are doing is perfecting the internal combustion engine, they need to start designing and perfecting electric vehicles, or internal combustion engines that burn clean.
Benjamin: He did not, he said the turbo get smaller on the exaust side when on low rev, so that it spools the turbo faster, and thus increasing low end torque . On higher rev, the turbo return to full size to maitain high end power. Read about VGS (Variable Geometry Turbo)
he basically said that limiting exhaust flow and suffocating the engine is good!
