I lifted my Turbo Diesel International Scout (INCREDIBLE TRANSFORMATION!)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 гру 2021
- A guy bought tires and wheels that were too big for the stock suspension. So I did the right thing and picked up a lift, tires, wheels, bumper, and more! Let's transform this once abandoned farm truck, into something really cool!

You definitely need to rebuild this engine. Make us diesel guys happy.
These were good rigs new, just don't expect to much. I worked for an IH dealer when this was new 1978-1989 in the Seattle area. New the diesels would roll 65 mph on freeway 3.73 gears and get 26 mpg all day long. Your low power, your turbo might be weak or waste gate. no more then 5 lbs of boost it WELL BREAK, head gaskets, rods, crank we had one customer that played with boost we had the engine out 4 times the last time he got a new complete engine and he left it alone and he lived happy there after. check your fuel system have you replaced that fuel filter yet? those plastic fuel lines are factory the white one is return. rearend in my area ran 3.73 with the diesels this worked the best, if you go to 4.09s will help the power but you would have to change the carriers.your scout has a trac-lok make sure to put additive in it. as for your transfer case the ones with the aluminum tail shaft were dana 300 with a lower low range used in the diesels and 4 bangers Scout diesels were good rigs and the 1980 year was the best for the diesel powered ones. retired mechanic
"Don't get it right... just get it done." - Derek Bieri, circa 2021.
I have a 1980 Scout II Diesel as well, my dad bought it new and it was my first car. I put the 2.5" Rough Country lift on it and I kept the spring perch spacers in the drinker's side. For whatever reason it keeps the rig level. I ended up with 31" tires on it and they still rub a little at full turn but I wanted to keep them tucked in so didn't use any wheel spacers. Mine has the 3.73 rear end with the same T19 4 speed and at 65 MPH she is screaming at 2800 RPM. If you want to get a little more oomph out of her I have read on Nissan patrol forums that the SD-33T can reliably handle up to 12PSI of boost. The stock waste gate and blow off valve dump at 6psi which I can verify as I have a boost gauge on mine. She builds boost like a dog but it still helps quite a bit, especially on the highway. Also I have the same problem with smoking on cold starts, from what I remember growing up it always did that. Keep the Scout vids coming, she is a real treasure!
Derek is like the only UA-camr who haven’t changed from fame he is still so humble and still does the same badass stuff that started his channel. Much respect brother 🤜🏾🤛🏾
Derek I had a patrol with an SD33T in it, it was dead stock but it was definitely not gutless, i never had to use 4 low off road, let alone for going to town. maybe make sure those approved fuel lines arent some kind of restriction, and check to make sure the injection pumpolator is pumpolating correctly. probably go over all your intake piping and such to make sure all your boosts arent disappearing directly into the atmosphere. if you want to do some upgrades, turbochargers from a CA18 or SR20 are fairly direct bolt ons
Fun fact: Scout II's had that rear spring spacer (sometimes on both front and rear passenger side) from the factory because they had a tendency to lean toward the driver side. International engineers sought the simplest solution to fix the lean and added a half-inch spacer to lower the passenger side slightly. Even with brand new body bushings and fresh suspension, Scout II's still can lean because there's more weight on the driver's side.
“...go save something” love those last words, inspires me to keep working on my rigs, thanks feller!
Been a rough week at work... but seeing your show brings a smile to a guy's face. Thank you for what you do.
A little turbo, cooler, diesel tune will help this little beauty go to town a little better. Good job Derek. Looks real sweet!
This hit me right in the old excuse maker.
Lost my brother almost 6 years ago, this reminds me so much of what he meant to me. Wish I could feel the rumble and share that feeling once again. Thank you Derek for that.
Greetings from England Derek! A guy’s been watching your awesome videos since way back from over here. Currently resting up recovering from a knee operation and using that as an opportunity to re-watch old classics such as this. This is what’s getting a guy through this at the moment, so thanks!
I'm no diesel mechanic, but with an indirect injection turbo diesel the best ways to iprove power are to up the fuel and up the boost. I'd say an engine rebuild with head studs and a thicker head gasket and some upgraded injectors/injection pump, plus an upgraded or turned up turbo would be the best way a Feller could make some power. I really love your videos Derek, they really make me re-evaluate my attitude when working on projects.
So happy to see the direction this build is going in.... Looks awesome cant wait to see more!!

You are always positive and inspirational. You got me working on mine and I thank you.
There isnt a single car channel that makes me laugh as much as vgg does. Its always truly a pleasure!
Dude you knocked it out the park with this setup. 👍👍👍
My girlfriend and I have been watching the channel for about two years now. Thank you for the hours, and I ain't kiddin' ya, I mean hours, of laughter and entertainment you have provided. Thanks, Derek!
