do modern efi diesels need an electric fuel pump?

Got a toyota 1kz turbo diesel in my 84 lux. Runs fine but wondering if it should have a low pressure electric pump from the tank to the injector pump? Running a GQ tank where spare tyre used to be.

I have chain drive transfer for sale from a R151 but have swapped the input with a G52 transfer to avoid change to a manual shifting transfer. so it is an R151 transfer with G52 input. Guess that makes it a G52 transfer.
Not sure if its any use to you.

Higher than 4.1:1 diff ratio???

Currently have 4.1 hiace diffs in 84 lux with 1KZ and 33's but think I need something higher. It has plenty of torque and is all rev and no go.

What toyotas have higher ratios, like 3.7 or something?? I know the factory 1KZ lux has 3.797 but too bloody dear from the wreckers.

Put it this way. If the range of movement in the pedal is 100% then I only need to use about 20 % of it to get full throttle response. If I depress the pedal any further it doesnt achieve much except in low gears where it will obviously just redline. IE for daily driving the pedal doesnt move more ...

I have the 1KZ turbo diesel efi in my 84 lux. It has cable throttle linkage but it is sooo sensitive. For normal driving I hardly need to move the pedal so it is very jerky taking off and driving over really bumpy terrain.
