So I found a 1984 Toyota Camry Deluxe that has the 1.8L turbo diesel in it and was wondering if that is the same motor offered in the lux. I have an 83 lux with the 22r and was hoping that i could swap this in without much fuss.

Its hard to get good diesel tech over here and was hoping that you guys could help me out.

What questions should i ask about the condition of the motor?

They all gutless unless turboed, even then they are still a bit slow and gutless.
