Went to the drag race in Thailand, it was held mid December , first time seeing full fledged diesel drag racing trucks and also full bodied trucks...these guys are pushing 80 to 120 psi on their machine...only internal mod were the steel connecting rods, the crank and pistons are stock(they may be more but , but just discussing the engine strength only)....one of the secret that only the Thais know about is that a series of 4jg2 cranks are forged!!!...so there is always a hunt for these crank...the abuse these engine go through over and over again is incredible how strong the Isuzu engines are...run after run....during testing and qualifying...it was incredible...night runs, there is visible flame about a foot long coming out of the short exhaust downpipe , how they managed to control the EGT baffles me....will try so sort out some pics
