1985 hilux conversion
Hello i'm looking for some advice on a conversion can you bolt a 1KZTE turbo diesel straight into a 1985 hilux or is a 2LT a better engine to use
Re: 1985 hilux conversion
a 2lt is just a 2l motor with a turbo(bit more to it i know)
will bolt straight in to an 86 that had a diesel or R series petrol. Y series petrols had different mounts.

What will you use the car for? Rego"d? Engineered? How extreme you sant to go. I am putting a 3L(2.8) with a turbo and few other goodies in my 85 model single cab. I had a 2.4 N/A gutless not enough power to hurt itself. Now it will have balls and mine is pure mud and odd hill climbs. Twin locked an will have power. Never wanted to go with a bigger motor. If it's going to be hill climbing go petrol. 3Rz or V6 commo because they are free revving motors. Tell what the car is for and it'll help.
Sorry bout rambling on
