Isuzu G1 engine in an Amby !! - Team-BHP

man23ish · 9th February 2005, 18:55

Hello all Amby lovers,

I recently saw a few ads in the newspaper about an Isuzu G1 engine fitted in an ambassador. The owner claims it to be a 2.4Liter Diesel engine. Does anybody know about the engine, and if any cars in India are running on that engine. How does the engine fit with the gear-box and the differential??

Also how reliable is the entire setup on an amby?? How much kmpl should one expect from the engine??

Thanks in advance,
Manish.

Please check which engine is this. Amby comes with 2ltr Diesel.
I've never heard of an Isuzu G1 engine. I may be wrong but check it anyway.

Dwn South, the most common engine for an ambassador was an imported used isuzu engine. 4FB1 1800 cc, 4fc1 2000 CC (SAME AS THAT ON THE HM CRS) 4FC1 TURBO. 4FD1 2200CC AND 4FG1, 2400 CC 78 BHP. The engine can be mated to the India Iauzu gearbox, a direct fit. Spares are easily available.

Hi!

This would be the 4F G1 engine... I just got my Contessa 4Z B1 petrol engine replaced with the 4F G1. The dealer who sold me the engine told me it was the G1... a little cleaning and you can see the marking "4F G1" on the engine.

It fits on the same mountings as the existing petrol engine. I used the existing gear box and differential without any issues.

I get about 9 to 11 kmpl in the city, depending on the traffic conditions and 15 to 17 kmpl on the highway (Diesel).
This is a great improvement over the 4Z B1 which used to give me anywhere between 3 to 7 kmpl in the city and 13 to 15 kmpl on the highway (Petrol).

I suppose being sisters, the Ambassador should also perform just as well as the Contessa!

Regards,
Ashley
