that's ok. we'll have a "congratulations on your new engine" trip later

 

I hope, i just need to find one that isn't already in a 8$k vehicle.

 

<-- replaces guy eating popcorn.

 

Strike one: Nearest Importer said he is not importing till the USD increases. That stinks.

Waiting to here from a Virginia and New Jersey Importer.

Contacting dismantlers in Europe now.

 

with a functional hood scoop for the D-4D 3.0 it makes any bland SUV (Fortuner shown) better looking.

 

Hey RB, ...What motor is it again that is in the Van I posted? Maybe I could follow him around and "Make him an offa he can't refusssse", hehehe. JK, JK!

 

That's funny chef.

 

1KD-FTV takes 7.5qts of oil, thought you'd all like to know.

In other news,
Monday i will visit a local shop about ordering a longblock, but i suspect it will be out of my price range, however, they have eluded the possibility of a slightly used 1KD. And they have one in their shop i can take measurements from.

Hopefully this is getting me one step closer.

 

I see these engines pop up now and than on the local marketplace, but they are rare. Especially including loom and ECU.
And you will definately need a complete set or you will not get it running. There have been several changes in wiring, ECU and injection system over the years so don't even think about it.
I have considered this swap before I did my 2JZ and have looked in to it. Two of my friends still drive LC's, with a 20-25 hp chip set (about € 800 for a unit). That's a plug and play affair, no need to cut wires or change anything.

Used LC's are widely available, just found this: http://link.marktplaats.nl/540435606
An older damaged one: http://link.marktplaats.nl/544754777
I'm sure they are cheaper in Germany, that's where I buy em mostly.
I can check for you if you're interested.

 

^^^^ thanks a bunch dude. I know about the wire changes, couldn't say what years, but I'm aware.
Any links you could send my way for euro LCs would be greAtly appreciated.
Thanks again

 

Found 213 landcruisers in a sec, but can't paste a link for the search results.

google for: mobile.de and you should get a german used car site.

In box: MARKE choose toyota
In box: MODELL choose Landcruiser
In box: PLZ fill in 52538
In box: UMKREIS choose 200km
Hit TREFFER ANZEIGEN and you'll get all the landcruisers (all models from 40's up to the new ones) for sale within 200km from my residence.
Good luck !

 

Thanks a ton!

 

Woo, ...getting closer, ...that's exciting! What a cool Netherlander!

 

Yes very cool indeed.

I could seriously waste days on this site.

I have sent a few emails out to some yards, just waiting for replies and direction. Not really any closer to getting this thing on a boat to my closest port yet, but still pursuing this fine greaser.

 

Subscribed... there is a shop near me that imports engines/halfcuts/vehicles from Japan.
I'll stop by them today and see if they have/can get/how much for you...

 

95.8 KW = 128.4 HP stock tune

116.9 KW = 156.7 HP with Tuner Chip

Increase of 28.3 HP at rear wheels.

Torque numbers appear to be more or less flat across the band in stock tune at @225 Nm = 165.95 ft-lbs.

With the chip peak torque of @400 Nm = 295 ft-lbs appears at @ 85kms/hr (52.8 mph) and appears to drop off to a more or less flat @380 Nm = 280.3 ft-lbs average along the usable speed range up to 120 kms/hr (74.6 mph) from there it drops off steeply as you can see but remains above stock by a rough average of 80 Nm = 59 ft lbs. Pretty good numbers for a chip mod imo... I wonder what if any difference it made to the fuel consumption values.

Happy to help with the conversions

 

Thanks Aviator, if you can give me the importers name, location, something, i can google it and contact them.

Thanks for the help

 

Vss may be an issue need to research it. Just putting this here for future reference.

 

Missed them yesterday... but will get there next week... IK where they are but forget the name just now lol... I'll pass by this weekend and get the contact info for you... they have a website...
