and one had a turbo with high flow heads intercooler blah blah and still overheats like a dog and is dowy and the owner has spent nearly $30 g and says if he wasnt so deep in it he would never ever use one of these motor conversions again, wish he stuck with his 4.5 petrol motor
The old 6.5 was a horrible engine and not worth putting in, However the 6.6 duramax is a totally different story. 400+HP, huge amount of torque, and still use same amount as fuel as a V6 commodore. Sounds good to me

The 200 certianly drinks fuel, as well as oil, early on, we have some customers who run 200 and towing big vans, and 24-29 lt per 100km they average towing, up to 45 lt per 100km sometimes, tyres down, outback.
Neither had anywhere near that consumption with thier power boosted 100's with TD.
Lucky they are better for the environment, for the reasons they had to phase out the 1hdfte..........
Supercharged 80 SOLD - "OPERATION SANDY" now in effect.
Toyota is turning into a real turd of a manufacturer. I used to have a huge amount of faith in quality and reliability of their vehicles, but I don't think I would buy any of the current versions.

I towed a 3500kg trailer from Ayr (near Townsville) to Gunnedah, back to Toowoomba, back to Wee Waa, back to Dalby and then back to Ayr - about 7000km in 3 weeks all up. Used no oil and averaged about 17-22L/100km with the trailer on and about 10-12L/100km without the trailer. No oil usage at all.
My old V8 petrol 105 Series averaged 37L/100km on the same trip to Gunnedah last year - I stopped counting after that as it was soooo baaaddd........
That being said, we run 3x 200 Diesels and the earliest one (Oct 2007) used a bit of oil until the "mod" was done. The latest two (including mine May 2009) haven't had any real trouble with this.
This is it guys, from the horses mouth!
Big amounts of k's racked up, hard going on some of those roads, towing a heavy trailer. This guy knows his stuff about the new motors.
So everyone else is just making it up and there is actually no problem? Bit like Nissan saying there are no problems with ZD30s...
As for my Nissan never letting me down, I don't get into stupid brand name arguments. Toyota vs Nissan is as bad as bogans arguing between Ford vs Holden. I have owned all of them, each have their good and bad points. Some people are just incredibly narrow minded.

I wouldn't buy a current model Nissan either. Thankfully I have a late 06 gu with the last of the td42s so I won't be getting rid of it anytime soon.

In one of the your tube vids the bloke says how much power the single turbo v8 has towing such a big van
You must be towing the titanic with your 200 series i thought a 2nd turbo would a fair bit more

And the single turbo 70 series version of the engine is suppose to be detuned even further than just removing one of the twin turbos, so that the 70 series drivetrain can cope with that lesser amount of power.

The 70 series has 150ish kw and pulls a loaded tandem trailer full of bricks (3 tonne probably all up with a tray load of crap aswell) with absolute ease.

200 Series 1VD-FTV
Max Power (kW/rpm) 195 @ 3400
Max Torque (Nm/rpm) 650 @ 1600-2600
Kerb Weight (kg) 2630-2720
70 Series 1VD-FTV
Max Power (kW/rpm) 151 @ 3400
Max Torque (Nm/rpm) 430 @ 1200
Kerb Weight (kg) 2055-2345
200 series has 30% more power and 50% more torque than the 70 series.
200 series is between 12% and 32% heavier than the 70 series (depending on whether comparing heavier 70 series Troopcarrier to lighter 200 series model, or lighter 70 series cab chassis to heavier 200 series model).
Bj, agree wholeheartedly on the 6.2/6.5, they are dinosaurs.
However duramax is anywhere from 300 to 365 hp, up to 660ft.lb torque, will put the landcruiser 4.5 to shame. (convert those to metric if you want - the HP goes down 1/4 but the torque goes up by about 1/3 so you end up with roughly 275kW and 850Nm which is fairly significant in anyone's book.
turbo, exhaust, intercool and tune a 1HD-FT and you have potential for 600+Nm, 170+kW, who knows what's possible with a chip, exhaust and proper intercooler on a 4.5 cruiser V8?
yeah he said 6.5L chev. By the time he spends $20k on a drive in drive out on that and closer to $30k on the 6.6 duramax (which he didnt mention on the last page)
Imagine what $30k on chip, exhaust and internals would do on the 4.5L V8 diesel, would have to be an animal!
