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.

One of those in an fj, wow. Me wants that. Hell i would love a 1kz in mine.
|
this is so much nicer than the 5.7L V8 petrol. and the torque is just WOW.
|
sounds fast
|
it produces 650ft.lb.tq but only 200hp
|
Get pics of the FJ too.
That is very cool. Would like to see more details on this. |

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. |
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
|
650 ft. lbs. of torque!!! God that would be awesome. I agree let's see a writeup if you can put one together.
|
me want V8 D4D 5/6spd!
|
This is gonna be good can't wait for more pics!
|
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?
|
I want that engine in my 85 4runner:devil:

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.
|
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! C |
man the dealer would charge you up the ying yang for putting in a custom engine! lol.
