1-KD HILUX Conversion (Might surprise you)

[@4x4_UPPA]

Was so happy when yous deciding to put a 1KD into the lux, favourite video on KZbin learnt to much off this

[@TJANDMAC]

Thanks Ryan ! 🙌

[@137Clips]

My favourite 4wd KZbin channel👍 Can’t wait for the 60 build😮‍💨 Keep up the great work🤙

Thanks mate ! Yep plenty more coming in hot 🔥

This is gunna be so killer!! I kinda love that it’s staying Toyota and pre dpf! Cant wait for the next one! Boys are on

Yes boys, here for it! Hilux will be so good with a 1KD.

Waaaay beyond my very limited mechanical skill but so damn fascinating to watch an engin build. Great content Boys!!!

[@VaughanMunro-js4nr]

How he managed to keep a straight face with you two helping is unbelievable. We were both laughing at your engine building hints .

[@TJANDMAC]

😂 lucky he is a wizard and we didn’t distract him too much haha

[@Morphic-Realms.]

Nice build Tj... Jhh machined my 4m40t back in the day, I did pretty much the same type of build on it, shafted the balance shafts and balanced the motor, ported the head and turbo also, then added water meth injection..... (don't forget that ;)

[@TJANDMAC]

Haha sounds spicy ! Yeah can’t wait to take this thing for a strap 🤩

[@reubend340]

In the same boat as you Macca. Been a sparky for years, working for my self, but have always loved engines. Been playing with them since I was 12 and still would love to get into them a lot more than I do now. Keen to see how the 3litre goes for you. Only thing I don’t like is that the fuel lines are under the rocker cover. Don’t know you have a leak until the engine runs away from too much diesel leaked into the oil. But not a common issue.

[@macpreston]

Ah bloody oath! I definitely will man up one day and have a crack! They interest me so much! And the fealing of making sweet horse power after would be so rewarding!

[@snowy6453]

The 1kd is an awesome engine, mines just hit 512,000ks so it’ll probably get the kaizen rebuild treatment soon 🤙

[@TJANDMAC]

😂 be rude not to throw a few extras on ey 😝

[@dirtmonkey4x435]

Now I want another LN106. Mine was a great 4x4, but just so slow. Problem solved. Great work to everyone involved.

[@TJANDMAC]

Yeah this will certainly solve that problem! Haha thanks mate 🙌

[@NIGHTKINGSBIGRIG]

love the work as always i wanted to go 1kd with my one but couldn't find any conversion info into them so went with the 1kzte 3 liter love all the info u guys are chucking in as it all helps legends see u in wa some time with the old rigs boys be sick

[@TJANDMAC]

Thanks mate ! Yeah can’t wait to get back to that side of the country , soon 💪

[@huntsnewy]

[@TJANDMAC]

Ahh that’s awesome Jason ! 🤩

[@geofftuck7347]

Ah the mighty 1KD, would have loved to see a 1UZ in it but completely agree that the 1KD is the best way to go, especially tickled up by the Kaizen Fab boys! Nice work triggering the 4J fan boys 😂 Great episode fellas!!

Yeah and I really wanted diesel again as well as light weight , pretty happy with the decision!

Great work team, the 1KD is great we've had a couple. Regularly serviced & looked after you'll get a zillion Kms out of it. We had 2 x 1KZ (different vehicles), not as refined & a bit thirstier, got nearly 1M Kms out of one. Servicing is everything imho. Thanks as always legends the vid quality is epic as per usual. 🤌🙏✌️

MUCH APPRECIATED FELLAS

[@TJANDMAC]

Haha 😜 thanks ! 🙌

[@mikex4941]

A 1KZ would be more straightforward to swap (and cheaper to maintain due to being an indirect injection), given that Surfs already featured the 1KZ OEM in the 92-95 models, but the better power and fuel economy of the D4D 1KD is nice too.

[@TJANDMAC]

Yeah it’s certainly going to be a step up power wise 💪

[@darcykeddell4930]

1kz are crap so kd is the go

Gee I wish I knew this before I sold my pride and joy 92 hilux due to it using more fuel whilst loosing power after 15 years of reliability, I still miss the old girl I had owned 😢 since new, the only thing that confused me you say it is a 1992 but the 92 model was the second year of the 2.8 diesels

[@macpreston]

Ah bugger! Yes its actually a 92 model toyota surf that has been cut down into a ute! I beleive this is why it has a 2.4 2lte as its a surf not a ln106!

Has this car got a black non standard interior? I built a surf/hilux over 15 yrs ago using a surf chassis, hilux single cab cab, and extra cab tray and I painted it black. I was wondering if this was it.

Na this is a chopped surf cab 👍

[@smsd777]

Nice one! Beat me to it in my 4Runner. Standard sump/ pickup work for solid axle?

[@macpreston]

Good choice! You could highly modify it, however a 1KZ rear sump is the easier option and also needs a trim for maximum up travel! The boys will have all this available as a conversion once tjs is finished to!

[@charlielangley2694]

Cheeky fact for you Macca, there’s actually no such thing as N70s and N80s. They’re KUNs and GUNs. Little fact I figured out the other day. Nowhere is it listed by Toyota about them being an n70 or n80. Love your work

Interesting fact! Cheers!

Hi MAC, can you increase the injectors size of your standard 1-KD engine? engine got 367k with original factory injectors, never replaced yet.

[@macpreston]

Hi greg, you can however you will need a tune afterwards. An engine of that much use i would be hesitant to start doing performance mods if you wanted to keap going to that 500xxx kms mark!

[@Cobrastarzz1]

Imagine a 2021 1-GD Swap in those D:

So, you are telling me that the 2L block and the 1KD block has the same bolt pattern or do you need a 1KD specific bell housing?
