G'day

As the title says I'm looking at dropping a 1hdft Into a fzj105 and just have a couple of questions.

I recently wrote off my 1hdft 80 series but all the driveline is still good. I'm looking at upgrading to a 105 and
putting all my running gear in that. I have researched on here and lcool and will be a simple conversion on a hzj105 but can't find much info about putting one into a fzj. Not too worried about the mechanical side of things as I understand that engine mounts on the chassis should be the same as well as gear box cross member ect. 80 was a 95 gxl manual full time.

So my questions are:

1. What is involved in getting the dash cluster working? Will the senders off the motor and box work with the fzj dash or would I be better off getting a diesel dash cluster and work with that.

2. Is it worth swapping the fuel lines from my 80?

3. Is the h155 petrol manual input shaft different to the h155 from the 80?

The reason I'm looking at doing this to a petrol 105 is that I have found a cheap manual one locally and would like to save the money if it's not too much more work going with the petrol. Will be doing all the work myself and with help from mates.

Thanks in advance, perko

the only part of that question i can answer is that the petrol box will bolt up to the TD, they are the same box, but i imagine the 105 petrol box may have better syncros being a bit newer. the petrol and td box are both H151f's

I would be pretty confident to say that the sensors will run the 105 dash, if they dont then u only need to swap the sensors over, which would be very easy.

Cheers cranky, thanks for clearing up the boxes. The one in the TD is a bit sad so planning on using the one from the petrol. I guess the main things I'm worried about with the dash are the speedo and tacho, the rest I should be able to work out fairly easily I'm hoping.

Cheers, perko

The tachometer I m pretty sure will be different as the calibration will be different. The water temp should be sane. Oil pressure will more then likely as a petrol runs more oil pressure. And the diesel will need new fuel lines and a different filter setup

Dakotadigital.com might do a interface for the tacho maybe?

Thanks old lux,

If thats the case it may be easier to run a diesel dash, still doing more research Into that at the moment and with the help off here too. Trying to get away without running a new wiring harness as I only have the one from the
80 and it wont be any good with the 105 dash anyway.

Thanks cranky, will look into that
