diesel in a '92?

nix4x4 · 10-25-2007, 11:11 PM

I was wondering what the best diesel motor for a 3rd gen pickup would if i were considering a motor swap. I would really like it to be a six cylinder but i know that space is limited in our trucks. Just lookin for some opinions

camo31"10.50" · 10-26-2007, 10:24 PM

idk how much room...or how difficult it would be to do this swap into a 3rd gen...but if i were you i would spend the money..and go for a Cummins 4BT..up to 27mpg.....up to 160hp..400FT LBS OF TORQUE....amazing for a 4cyl...would be a nice engine though...if i ever do a motor swap it will be a Cummins 4BT...

it wont pass smog and I know diesels dont have to be smogged but its registered as gasoline so u would have to smog it.

The truck in the second link is sweet, i want a deisel so bad.

nix4x4 · 10-26-2007, 11:30 PM

This is going out on limb, but I had a crazy thought. Is there any way the you could mate a Cummins 4BT with, say, a tractor transmission? One with like 8 forward gears and 4 reverse? Always thought that would be the most kick ass setup ever

jfreisner · 10-26-2007, 11:32 PM

Search toyotadiesel.com, I think I saw a thread about a 1-ton project....1-ton engine, 1-ton running gear, ect.

EDIT, here's the link. I haven't read the thread so I dont know if its an actual project or not...

thats why you would take it to a smog ref and have it inspected and switched over to a diesel in the DMV system.

nix4x4 · 10-27-2007, 12:57 PM

By the time it will see any modification as major as this one it'll be an untagged, uninsured off-road only vehicle so I'm not really worried about smog. Plus, Ohio did away with it last year thank god or my truck wouldn't pass it as it sits now

believe it or not, toyota made some neat little motors over 25 years ago that would be aloud in the states.

nix4x4 · 10-28-2007, 09:15 AM

How difficult would it be find an old toyota diesel in the states? Also, what are the chances of one of them fitting up to an R150F?

These guys really know what they're doing, I'd go to them for answers...

is that possible to switch it over to diesel in registration? hmmmm plans in my future.

A guy on the Marlin Crawler forums swapped in a VW TDI ...

camo31"10.50" · 10-28-2007, 09:37 PM

i know that the 4bt cummins can be put into ANY FJ cruizer...idk about the 3rd gens...but my dad and I are thinking about putting a 4bt into my 1st gen P/U...i know it takes a 4in lift just to fit that puppy in there...other than that....its all pretty simple...and turn a few screws...and u can 160 hp..and 400 lb ft of torque...(frame twisting torque for my 1st gen)

nix4x4 · 10-28-2007, 10:30 PM

That would be sweet. Camo, what where you thinking for a transmission/transfercase.

82yota · 10-29-2007, 04:44 AM

I have a Toyota turbo diesel in my 92 pickup. Just finished putting it in last week. Its a 4 cyl turbo diesel. 3.0L. Don't let the 4 cyl thing fool you this thing goes. And is not hard on fuel either. I get about 100 miles before the needle moves off full. I figured it out and I am getting 30 mpg US. And I haven't put the 4.10 gears in it so it is revving too high right now. I got the motor from www.jarcoinc.com . Also this motor was designed to go in the Toyota truck and runners. And if you get the standard tranny they came with the R150. So you could use yours but would just need to change the bellhousing. The motor I have runs great and has lots of power. Much better than the 3vze my dad has. And mine is an auto. And the 3 inch straight pipe right from the turbo sounds pretty mean. Not noisey but just mean.

nix4x4 · 10-29-2007, 09:42 AM

82Yota thats awesome. What engine model is that? What kind of boost you running?

82yota · 10-29-2007, 05:30 PM

Its a 1kzte out of a 95 Toyota Surf. Its an auto which I don't like but it works well. And I just have whatever boost it came with. I'm not modding the motor at all as I don't want the thing to die on me. But I don't really need to. It makes 230lbft at 1800rpm out the box. Don't really need more cause it pulls so good right now. The only thing I plan to do to the motor is intercool it. It will give me a bit more power but better mileage. I'm going all out for mileage. Right now I'm getting better mileage than a 2001 Malibu. And it has tons of power. No problem pulling up hills now. I can accelerate up them.

WCorbett · 10-29-2007, 06:19 PM

82yota, what was the full price of your swap? if you dont mind.

82yota · 10-29-2007, 06:43 PM

Got the motor and tranny any everything for putting it in the truck from Jarco for 4200 shipped and bought the truck for 1200 and just getting the little things to do the swap it all came out to about 6500 so far. I still don't ahve the 4wd hooked up but I just need to get my hands on a computer and it will work. Also I need to buy a few fenders and some paint to make it nice and when its all done I'll have around $7000 into it. Remember that includes buying the truck. But being as its so much better on fuel and the truck had a blown 3vze in it there really is no downside other than I'm not driving my old 82 anymore.

Sure do miss driving that beast.
