Option B: 100%, 6NZ is a great motor! Older would even be better, 2WS if possible and you’ll never have to worry about it again. Or if you want to stay red nothing newer then an N14. If you go Cat don’t do the twin turbo acert it is a disaster. However if you can find someone to build it, some guys, my brother included have taken the newer Acert block and mated it to a 6NZ single turbo head. This creates a truely bulletproof motor that can produce just about any HP rating (within reason) that you could want, while retaining reliability.

The takeaway....all the new motors are crap. The older technology gives better power, and much, much better reliability, at the cost of a little worse fuel economy.

I know many will disagree with me but that’s my two cents, based on 22years of in the field experience.
