Best diesel engine option?

Post by pato castro »

Hello, i need an advice from the diesel experts around here, a friend has an '80 toyota Land Cruiser FJ-40 with the 4.2, 6 cylinder gasoline engine and wants to install a potent turbo diesel, intercooled engine on it, if possible with tranny and T/Case too. What would be the better option using toyota engines?

12-HT 4.2l from the Late 60 series... 13-BT 3.5l from the 73 series MWB. I konw the 12-HT is direct injection turbo diesel.. not sure about the 13-BT tho. Both would love intercooling and 10 psi boost i sure :lol:
Cheers,
Dan.

12h-t is direct injection turbo... i got no idea if it's intercooled (but that's an easy thing to rectify)

13BT is direct injection. From what i understand 13BT is a better option than aftermarket turboing a 3B (unfortunately what i just did in my middy) as you can run a higher boost if you require due to direct injection. If your mate is wanting a yota motor with a turbo start with a 12HT or a 13BT as the direct injection and factory turbo will give a better starting performance and more potential than aftermarket on an indirect injection motor. Either would push the 40 along quite nicely, especially with an intercooler, exhaust and boost tweaked just a little :armsup:

13BT was from the 74 series, 73 series ran the 3B

But i'm no expert :roll:

how much do you have to spend? a 1HD-T or 1HD-FT (from 80 series) will go into a 4x without too much drama. tons of power potential there.
