engine combination possibilities

Postby superturbocompound » Wed Feb 13, 2013 9:10 pm

i just managed to get a hold of some parts catalog and noticed that the 4jg2 and the 4jh1 share the same bore(95.4mm) , this would make it possible to have a 3.1 direct injection by using the 4jh1t pistons and liners ,the other items that i thnk needs changing would be the head(direct injection head) fuel pump , fuel lines and injectors, all of which i think can use the 4jb1t components,300cc increase....comments please

I wonder how much fuel you can squeeze through those injectors?
Isuzurob is running a detuned 3.1 pump on his 2.8 so the 3.1 pump would still work which makes it a little simpler.
Without looking at the fine print it sounds like it should work

Nothing is ever that simple, but it would make an interesting project ! I would expect to run into problems concerning piston pin height, conrod length, liner interference fit differences etc., wouldn't a complete 4jh1 be a better engine anyway?

isnt 4jh1 3.0 litre. If this is the case then only the stroke is different. A crank change might also work.

judging by the pdf file , 4jg2 is some what different from the 4jh1,piston pin is smaller 34mm(4jg2) 31mm 4jh1,so roderunner is right about this not being easy,but lets see the similarities
1) the cylinder grade from the manual are identical for both 4jh1 and 4jg2 (from the 4jg2-4jb1 manual)
2) 4jh1 piston bowl looks similar to the newer 4jb1 type piston injectors should work.

i need to drop by my friends parts shop to measure the piston pin height, he's got both 4jg2 and 4jh1 i think.

buying a 4 jh1 engine is expensive, and alot of us either have a 4jb1 or a 4jg2 laying around some where, so its just a possibility that could happen.a 4jh1 also runs an ECU which makes it alot more complicated.

got a call from the isuzu parts shop(a friend of mine) that its a waste of time...just get a 4JG1 pistons and the jobs is done,piston pin size and pin height is identical to 4jg2 but with a combustion bowl for direct injection...oh well

Ive heard of 4jg1 parts but never ever seen a reference to a 4jg1 engine. Is this a mythical beast of the same nature as a 4.88 diff?

how do they compare as a motor. Everything I can find online suggests an industrial motor

so is the 4jb1,

Apparently a few 4jb1's and 4jg2's have benefited from this set up done by one mechanic here,my friends shop has sold more then 10 sets to this person,so this guy must know the how things are put together .

i dropped by the parts shop today to take some photos but my friend was out so some time next week i'll drop by again.

FINALLY!!!! got the pics and measurements, bore is 105mm, 3mm bigger then the 4jb1, bowl shape is a late model direct injection type so nozzle has to be changed...and the best thing is that the pin sits 2.5 mm higher meaning the 4jg1 piston is 2.5 mm lower then the 4jb1 , so can use the 4jg2 crank which has a stroke of 107 as compared to 102 on the 4jb1...do the maths 107mm-102mm = 5mm /2 = 2.5mm so the off set suits the 4jb1 block....looks like a plug and play aside from reboring the cylinder...doing a conversion now so will update from time to time...

Early versions of Ingersoll Rand 185 cfm portable air compressors runned with 4JG1 engine (newer ones comes with John Deere)...Also we can find these engines in some boats, generators, bobcats, mini excavators (kubota)....although I never seen turboed applications.

hmmm... abit confusing here, the 4jg2 blocks is taller by 4mm....the pistons of the 4jg2 is identical in height to the 4jg1...which is 2.5mm lower then the 4jb1...maybe the rods are different? pistons protrusion are almost identical...any ideas???

Why not use the 4jg2 block, crank, rods, 4jh pistons and 4jg1head....if you can find one that is!

reason not to use another engine block is when an engine is changed here, the car loses its 'GREEN' status hence 50% off the road tax...

progress report:-

Image
the 4jg2 crank is in with its extra 5mm stroke....
Image
and this is how much it protrudes out of the engine block...so this configure is with the 4jb1 rods and pistons(4jb1 sits 2.5mm higher)...
Image
there is about 3mm piston protrusion...2.5mm lower if it were the 4jg2 piston...so i think this will work....cranks spins freely not hitting anything (for the moment, dunno what happens when fully assembled)

We don't have that kind of road tax system here in Aus. If tax wasn't an issue would using the 4jg2 block be easier? I didn't quite follow the piston differences between the 4jg2 and 4jg1.

progress report:-

So is the 4jg1 piston going to protrude .5 m.m. out the top of the block?
Thanks for updating, this is an interesting experiment!

the 4jg2 and 4jg1 are identical in height...

its about that...was going to use a dial gauge but the battery was flat(digital)...

from what i see....to convert the 4jg2 to a direct injection...head change , fuel pump nozzle(maybe fuel pump), head gasket(4jh1) pistons...(off hand)
