My mate bought a 4.2diesel GU patrol at an auction and assumed they were turbo but this one got no turbo, 200k's and manual.. After driving it we can't believe how slow this thing is, so does anyone know if turboing this engine is good idea, and how would you do a decent job on a budget, just a quick list of parts and cost would be helpful ..

Could you use the whole hotside from a 4.2TD at a wreckers and just use aftermarket computer and tune it? or is there more to it?

I think the 4.2 was the same block, but don't quote me on it. I recall these were the better 'old school' engines before they went smaller cc's.

Probably get better answers on the pootrol or 4wd action websites ...

This might give some hints:

    • Robertson was a Canadian inventor, and it absolutely reigns supreme here. 95% of our screws are Roberston. It's literally the only option you can buy off store shelves. What would it have lost out too? I believe it's also very popular in the US.  My reference to imperial was pointed to both NPT and BSP. 
    • No. BSP lost to the cultural/technical imperialism of living next to Trumpistan. Face it, Robertson screws were better and still pretty much lost out to the yank stuff. The Europeans hate the Brits and they don't use NPT. NPT is just as "imperial" as BSP is, being based on those useless inch thingos. Just done differently. 
    • I live in Quebec. Our license plate slogan is "Je me souviens" Translated is "We will remember" as a reminder to when England conquered us and that we must never forget what they did. Long story short, BSP is unheard of here due to being an English design. I'm surprised our nazi anti english government office the OQLF hasn't kicked in my door yet just talking about it, yet alone imperial anything.       
    • Thanks for that! I did a quick Google search looked up some of hydaulic stores and didn't see it listed on the website, I'll give them a ring. Also found out later that I can buy 2 oem bleeder bolts for 10 bux and come with the washer which I might do so I don't waste the money it costs in petrol to find 2 washers (already did that lol). The old copper washes look in good nick, I drove it after taking it off and putting it back on and didn't see any  Part number here for reference if anyone needs: 14053-42L0A
