[QUOTE=Dieselyota;113208]Well, I have always been in love with the economy and torque of the diesel engine but have never cared for any of the cars that are produced with a diesel in them stock. I learned from www.sr5.net that toyota made a turbo diesel in the light trucks and imported them into the US during the 1980's and continued to produce them all over the world to this day. I did some heavy research and learned that the 2L-T 2446 cc inline 4 cylinder IDI turbo diesel was a direct bolt on to my 1993 4x4 single cab frame. Not only was it bolt on, but the w56 transmission (which is used in the trucks and 4-runners from roughly 1988-1995) has a removable bellhousing which allowed me to get ahold of a diesel bellhousing and bolt it up to my trans. Fortunately I did not have to lenghten or shorten my driveshafts or any drivetrain components whatsoever. The wiring was as easy as hooking up a single wire to my fuel cut solenoid to allow fuel to enter my injection pump and when the key is turned off, the fuel cut solenoid closes stopping the engine. As I am a perfectionist, I got ahold of a fuel filler neck from toyota and even the "diesel only" sticker which accompanies the filler neck. It appears totally stock and everything functions flawlessly. I have had people run up to me at the gas station yelling and screaming that I'm putting diesel into my truck as if I am a moron. Only to see their jaws drop when I pop the hood and show them. The power output I would guess is somewhere in between the 22re and the 3VZE. But the economy is incredible. I'll bet even more so once I regear to a 4:88 ratio. This engine does not even sound like a diesel. I remarkable sounds like a smoother running 22re. If you have any specifics about the swap let me know. I think the hardest part of the entire conversion was making everything appear stock. The actual engine trans swap was easy and required no fab work at all. I bought my engine from a JCM importer called ASAP motors in Houston, TX for $1800 with shipping. The pictures I posted were a few weeks ago when it was just being driveable. Since then I have tweeked the injection pump timing and added an intercooler from a TDI VW. I also have hooked up my glow plugs with the timers and relays and wired them up to where in my instrument cluster the check engine light comes on when the glow plugs cycle and turns off when they are off. Pretty cool huh??[/QUOTE. What did you do to the ecu was it plague and play

 

Did you have to change the gas Ecu to diesel

 

different engines will have different ECUs

 

Does anyone live near west covina that knows how to swap my stock motor into diesel and register it as diesel my stock motor sucks i go 3mph up hills and always have to be in low to pick up speed to 15mph please anyone i need a diesel already

 

You don't need a diesel swap, you need a mechanic bruh.

 

I realize this is an older post but did you plan on selling engines to us Yankees? I want a Toyo diesel like crazy! Power, torque and mileage. 30mpg would be nice but i hear the 3LT's are more like 25-28mpg. That would make me happy too! Then anything is better than my 3vz's lack of power and 16mpg.....

 

That's from an era past unfortunately.
Since diesels pollute more our government has implied heavy taxes. That's years ago so now you hardly see any diesels more. Hiliuxes are a s good as done and Landcruisers are also spread out quit thin.
It's hard to get an engine for a good price, since they are getting rare compared to 10-15 years ago people are asking big prices for them
