Hilux 3.0 diesel questions

Post by -Mick- »

3 Questions....................

What year did the 3.0 come out with injection? Or did they have both injected and non-injected at the same time?

Also I understand they're not the strongest in the bottom end but is it safe to fit a turbo running around 10-11 lbs? Or is that stretching it.

Finally would the injected motor make a better candidate for a turbo? Or is there not much difference.

This would be for a tourer/ med duty rig so a latish model around 01-03.

I'm guessing your meaning the 5L-E with the electronic fuel injection. It came out in september 2000. I'm also interested in how they go with a turbo as I haveone im mine.

hey thanks :cool: If there's a decent gain to be made with these over the older 5l (I drive one at work and its nothing special) I'll look for an 01 no earlier :cool:

assuming you mean computer controlled or not, the 5L-E has more power stock however i suspect it will be harder to turbo as you will need to get around the ECU.

good point hadn't thought that way :? Hopefully someone will chime in who's turbo'd a 5l-e :)

a few things I've found out today to answer some of the q's above.

The turbo kits come with a fuel pump that tricks the ecu somehow to get around that problem. Don't know anymore about it that's all I could find.

Also power outputs from the inj and non-inj are damn near the same standard..... and the same turbo'd as well. All the power figures I can find say 70kw/ 190nm stock becomes around 95kw/ 260nm turbo'd for injected or not injected.

I'd go the not injected if there's no benefit having it :lol:

firstly....no such thing as non-injected deisels. they are all injected. what you mean is ecu or non-ecu. ecu meaning computer controlled.

a quick google shows kits often come with a boost compensator which is an addon to the pump which would work fine for the 5l, just not sure what type of pump the 5l-e has.

Maybe get intouch with somewhere like denco/west end/berrima and see what they have to say...
