The engine you WISH you had!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is the picture of the new 4.5L 8cyl TWIN TURBO diesel only found in the Land Cruiser and swapped into the FJC. I was down in Belize City yesturday looking for the guy who swapped one into his FJC, but since i could not find him, i went to the dealer and got the Land Cruiser engine.

4.5L V8 Twin Turbo Intercooled Diesel:

One of those in an fj, wow. Me wants that. Hell i would love a 1kz in mine.

Belize Off Road Team · 03-08-2008, 09:45 AM

this is so much nicer than the 5.7L V8 petrol. and the torque is just WOW.

Elton · 03-08-2008, 09:58 AM

sounds fast

Belize Off Road Team · 03-08-2008, 10:04 AM

it produces 650ft.lb.tq but only 200hp

***Corey*** · 03-08-2008, 10:14 AM

Get pics of the FJ too.
That is very cool.

Would like to see more details on this.

As soon as i can get ahold of the owner i will as soon as i can. when i was in Belize city yesturday he was down south doing some support for the Land Rover club that like to get stuck

I think i'm going south tomorrow to San Ignacio so i'll look for him there.

***Corey*** · 03-08-2008, 10:25 AM

Thanks!
I know a lot would be interested in a total writeup to what all is involved in this swap, and how it rides.

I personally think the 4.0 flies like a rocket ship, gobs of torque.
I could only imagine what happens when you put the go pedal South.

Belize Off Road Team · 03-11-2008, 05:36 PM

I contacted the owners wife, he is in Guatemala for about 1 months doing some Mayan adventure/tour thing so i will get in touch with him april 3rd and post pics and info on his write up

Mic09dcsm · 03-11-2008, 05:51 PM

650 ft. lbs. of torque!!! God that would be awesome. I agree let's see a writeup if you can put one together.

**aviator** · 03-11-2008, 05:56 PM

me want V8 D4D 5/6spd!

sammy7 · 03-14-2008, 10:43 PM

This is gonna be good can't wait for more pics!

rowdy235 · 03-16-2008, 08:27 PM

hey did you get a chance to drive it? I'm trying to track one down to swap into an 04 tundra. Does it sound cool?

Hayes · 03-16-2008, 09:09 PM

I called the owners wife yesturday but their son answered the phone, he said that his father was attack/robbed along with several others, while on some Land Rover tour in Gaut. he still has the FJC diesel, but it apparently is damaged due to the rebels. so he told me it will be a while before his dad is home and i personally did not want to ask the poor guy if i could get a full report on his FJC while he is in the hospital. i''ll report when i know more.

**aviator** · 03-21-2008, 09:30 AM

Dam that bites... hope he's OK... estupido degenerado rebels.... "Street gang" would be a better term for most of them...

he'll live, but he was severlly injured. so i can't give an estimate of wen i can see him about the FJC diesel write-up.

1lowtoy · 03-21-2008, 11:33 AM

Maintainance must be a bitch on that thing, have a butt load of stuff to remove just to get to the manifold. Who cares though! I still want one, a 4.5 turbo diesel v8 is better than a 3.4 anyday.

xtfritz · 06-17-2008, 02:45 PM

Is this something that could be installed by a dealer if you could get your hands on the engine? What would be entailed in getting one?

Cheers!
