Outer Limits 4x4 Board

...I would also like to know have you completely removed the ECU?
Yes, completely.
Regarding power, on road, mine goes faster and better compared to same 70 serie 1KZ (standard) plus intercooler. And the KZ runs pretty fine too.

I could not sleep last night thinking about the 1KD conversion.

Ok, a mechanical fuel pump and injectors have been fitted from a 1KZ-T. The ecu, has been done away with, or bypassed. The bore and stroke of a 1KZ-T is 96x103 and so is a 1KD. So in effect the original 1KD is effectively a 1KZ-T now ...

Gotoy,
I agree with you that torgue is more important than hp. I went for the 1KD option instead of 1KZ, because here in Europe there are a lot of reports ...

More reliability and durability in the mechanical (imho).
I am not sure how the common rail and all the electronics will handle staying in water or mud all day.

so wait- you took a 1KD-FTV, which is common rail, pulled the common rail gear off, chucked the EFI fuel pump from a 1KZ-TE into it, removed the 1KD Variable turbo and put a standard 1KZ one on AND got it to run?

Kudos is all i can say- Considering that the ECU differences between the 1KZ and 1KD ...

Hi! :)

I have a 1993 Toyota Land Cruiser LJ70 or a 'bundy' as you call them. Originally it came with 2.5td (2LT-E), but we replaced the engine with 3.0td - 1KD from TLC 120 series.

The 1KD engine is combined with mechanical pump and turbo from 1KZ-T and Intercooler from BMW X5. Added with a ...

if you have experience after-market Safari Turbo and Intercooler kit i would be thankful if you share your impressions with me. Thanks!
