The sad thing is this- NO ONE MAKES ENGINE INTERNALS FOR ISUZUS. All we would need is forged internals, and this sucker would take power like few can.
We have boring possibilities, stroking possibilities, polished intakes and exhaust possibilities, boost up to maybe 12 psi intercooled (turbo of course), cams, lightened pulleys, etc. th60 tranny swap to stock drivetrain, headers and exhaust in general,
We already have a block with a 6 bolt main, dual intake runners, DOHC, direct ignition, serpentine belt, fly by wire throttle, the possible addition of direct injection w/ an axiom swap, on and on.
If you compare the Subaru EJ25 engine, I think the ony real big benefit it has in design is a semi closed deck, and variable valve timing that make more efficient power than the Isuzu 6ve1. If a 2.5 boosted engine gets 300 horsepower 300 torque, then our engine tuned similarly would yield 360 hp, and 375 torque fairly easiy. I know this is probably way underestimated too, and the ej25 can waaaaay easily get up to 400 which would make is up to 420 horse and probably 445 torque.
Maybe a machinist will come to our rescue, but I doubt it. LOL
