Frontera Technical Support

Hi ladies and Gents
I am quite new to this forum I have a 99 2.2 petrol frontera which has just gone bang and needs a new engine. I have a 3.1 turbo diesel Isuzu trooper, has anyone transported the 3.1 into a frontera? If so any help would be greatly received.
Thank you
James

Hi and welcome to FOG, Your 3.1 can be transplant as anything is possible bud, but will take sooooo much work :wall:

its probably easier to get a decent diesel. Why not have a look for a decent 2.8

Thanks guys
The timing belt tensioner broke a piece off and dropped onto the crank pulley causing it to jump teeth and bend all 16Valves

I have a 3.1 turbo diesel isuzu trooper, which I could use as a donour and swap all bits to make a diesel , I have looked for a 2.8 with no luck they are like hens teeth
