awesome video, thanks for making it! Not much info on 1KZ conversions on the FJ40s. We just purchased one here in Australia and are thinking about doing the same with the 1KZ. Over here we have the hilux that came out with a 1KZ and the transfer case lines up with the front and rear diffs. In your experience, do you think it would be easier buying a doner 1kz hilux (full vehicle) and using an entire 1KZ , trans and transfer? thanks for your time, really appreciate it.

If you don't have access to a machine shop, you would not be able to modify the FJ40 drivetrain to fit a 1KZ. I did see an adapter bellhousing on ebay a long time ago, but it was really expensive. We have no diesel donor vehicles here. If we did, I would have went with a donor vehicle drive train. Get the whole vehicle if it is a 1kz-te because you will need the wiring harness. One big challenge is the exhaust routing, but maybe not an issue with right hand drive, I don't know. I love the engine, it is nearly perfect for the FJ40 [except the exhaust is on the wrong side]. I can run 70 MPH all day with the 5 speed. Has great low end torque on the trail.

How’s that water 2 air intercooler doing. Where did u get the unit from? Any link would be greatly appreciated. What boost u running? Great stuff u done there!

[@wims58ej]

This is the build thread. forum.ih8mud.com/threads/78-fj40-1kz-te-h55f-orion.723496/ The intercooler made a huge difference, it has worked perfectly. I got the intercooler off ebay, I had to modify the inlet and outlet to point down. I don't have a link, that was a long time ago. Also got the intercooler radiator off ebay. The water pump is for a supercharged ford mustang intercooler. I wired it to come on with the ignition. I think it was made by bosch. It has been totally trouble free. It is also totally silent. I am running 14 psi boost.

[@wims58ej]

Yes , I like it much better than the 2f engine . The details are right here in the comment section and there is a link to the build thread with all of the details of the build on IH8MUD .

How many hp does this engine make?

[@acwill971]

how's the vibration? is it too much?

[@wims58ej]

It vibrates at idle, but not too bad. The dual mass flywheel is supposed to help, but I don't have one.

Beautiful truck and swap. I'm currently working on a 1KZ-T using a 4m40 pump to slot into my '85 Surf. Any idea what sort of power you're putting out? Just having a flick through your build thread now.. incredible amount of work you've put in to this.

[@BWheels888]

Just saw your post regarding the 2LT/1KZ-TE injection pump conversion. I'm still doing (lots) of research, though the thought crossed my mind of finding a complete 12mm distributive head to bolt on to the 4m40 pump housing. I have quite a few injection pumps to play with, though I figured that would be the easiest way to go about it. No idea if it's feasible or not, though I've found a head that may suit and it's only around $50 so might give it a shot. Would appreciate your input if you have any or if you could point me in the direction of any more info. In the meantime, I'll keep researching! Cheers.

[@wims58ej]

Thanks! No I don’t know how much horsepower it makes. It will go up steep hills in fifth gear without downshifting, so the torque is good. It gets great fuel mileage.

[@jackmanley4185]

What transmission did you use for this swap?

[@wims58ej]

The answer to your question is in the comment right below your comment. Also a link to the build thread .
