Defo getting a bit busy on N/S of the engine bay had to shift intercooler over to get room for double altenator set up but now seems to have panned out space wise thank god
For the observant of you yes there are no belts on or tensioning arms and auxilary altenator has the wrong pulley this area is still work in process as is the power steering pump that has swaped places with the orignal low slung main altenator.

The question about engine weight cant answer that although having worked with the XUD pug engine the Isuzu is definatley a good bit lighter however not as light as a G13 to help this im fitting the dual batteries in the back but with a 8274 Warn on the front she is likely to be a little nose heavy

what material did you use for the fly wheel and how did you do the engine mounts as the turbo gets in the way

Flywheel is made of EN8 Steel
Custom made engine mounts jimny ones got cut off new mounts welded in they sit foward from where the origanals where.
Turbo compressor housing has been turned so outlet faces upwards to meet the intercooler

thanks could you show some pics of the mounts I've got a 1.5 Vauxhall diesel n.a. in but when warn the starter struggles as its using the jimny starter as I machined the fly wheel to fit straight to the jimny box I've got a 1.7 and was hoping to fit it but I'm not convinced yet
