doubt it. those were so rare theres barely any of them left in stock form. they were a crappy diesel anyways, i doubt it'd survive putting out more power. oh and good luck getting parts for it.

You're thinking the 2.1 in early xjs
But not many diesel xjs on this forum and even less info about them

I don't think there is that much aftermarket support for that engine.

I am envious of your jeep.

If you not have been to http://www.ausjeepoffroad.com, go there and read about the 2.5 WM diesel engine. A lot of good reading.

Are the Isuzu diesels popular down under? I'd think they'd have a much better aftermarket
