Too bad you sold your CJ though. I am currently on the lookout for a diesel engine for my Jeep.
The XDP 2.1 is actually pretty competent in urban and off-road duty; its only on the highway that the diesel runs out of breath. Mine ran for 1.4x lakh kms before blowing up, thus I am on the lookout for this exact engine. I did speak to someone from Mahindra but unfortunately, they have stopped production of this engine. |
GTO, aren't they manufacturing a version of that engine with a displacement of 2.5 litres these days? AFAIK that's the engine they're planting in the Bolero and the ones being sold to the army, been a while since I checked so I could be wrong...
How was the performance of the 1.8 Isuzu (taken from a Contessa I presume)? Ages back I used to know a guy who'd used that engine to great effect in his Maruti Gypsy.
Cheers!
