I posted a video response to the 1L diesel engine start up. People don’t seem to understand what went on before I tried to start the motor. The motor was in a truck that was totalled back in 1985. The truck was sold for salvage and the owner intended to fix it, but never got around to it. So it sat outside from 1985 until 2002 when I managed to buy it. Along the way, the hood and air cleaner were sold or scrapped. I bought the truck without hearing the motor run, so it was a risky venture. As it turned out it was all worth it in the end. Six years later it still runs fine and I havent done anything else to it except change the oil.

The swap is based on a 94 standard cab Toyota pickup. The japanese import engine is a 2LT and the truck has a 5 speed transmission. The sale comes with extra parts, and a training session on biodiesel. Here is a short video of the truck running.

Toyota 1KZ-TE Turbo Diesel Engine

SR5 — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 14:09:21 +0000

Toyota’s most efficient turbo diesel engine, is now also the most desirable engine swap. The 1KZ-TE turbo diesel engine is a 4 cylinder 3.0L (2982 cc) SOHC with 2 valves per cylinder. Bore is 96mm and stroke is 103mm with a compression ratio of 21.2:1. Maximum output is 130 hp (97 kW) @ 3600 rpm and a maximum torque of 29.3 kgf-m (287 N-m) @ 2000 rpm. Max rpm is 4400. Importers can find these engines in KZJ71W, KZJ78W, KZN160 model Toyotas

The intercooler equipped version of the engine power up to maximum output of 145 hp (108 kW) @ 3600 rpm and maximum torque of 35.0 kgf·m (343 N·m) @ 2000 rpm. Found in KZJ90 (Prado, Colorado 3-door), KZJ95 (Prado, Colorado 5-door)

Using an aluminium cross-flow cylinder head, the 1KZ-TE diesel utilizes a deep-skirt externally ribbed cylinder block for greater rigidity. Scissor gears on both the front and back of the timing gear idler and twin gear-driven balance shafts help to further reduce engine vibration. The aluminium pistons have a top ring groove of fiber reinforced metal.

The turbo is a lightweight compact design that is water-cooled for durability and to help combat the turbo diesel’s high operating temperatures trucks are fitted with a larger radiator, revised fan shroud, and long-life coolant. The new ceramic glow plugs heat up very quickly; even on cold early-morning starts. Boost pressure is set at 7.4-9.7 psi (51-67kpa).

What I Saw on Ebay Today

1985 Toyota Turbo Diesel 4X4 Pick-Up 89,201 miles

This appears to be a very nice example of an older Toyota truck with a turbo diesel engine. From the pictures there is no rust and the interior is perfect. One note: although the truck has stripes, it is not an SR5. Check the VIN number. It has a “d” behind the model, not an “s”. Still probably the nicest turbo diesel I’ve seen in a long time. I find it curious that the engine failed at less than 89,000 miles. Something had to have happened to cause that. The owner has done a good job at rebuilding the motor, but I have to wonder what condition the turbo is in, and how long it will last. This truck is re-listed due to a non-paying bidder. The truck sold for over $10,000 before, so be prepared if you decide to bid on it. Please let me know if anyone buys this truck. Good luck!
