Right now Im looking for a luv for a project, I thought it would be different to turbo charge the 4cyl..Does anyone know of any companies that make aftermarket parts for the 4cylinder? Is there a better tranny that would bolt up over stock? Thanks for the help, I hope I dont get flamed. :oops:

First, welcome to the site... Your chances of getting flamed here are danged slim...

No one makes a specific kit for the 1.8L Isuzu engine, it's gonna have to be a piece it together self-designed system I think. I'm sure someone with more knowledge on that will chime it...

There is not a true bolt in tranny as far as I know, but the earlier Isuzu 5 spd from a P'Up up to about '86 is a fairly simple bolt it (i think you have the get your driveshaft modded). Do a search for it and you'll find a couple of people who have done the swap. I don't know if it's that big of an upgrade as they seem to not take the power as well as the 4spd, but the extra gear would be real nice.
