Land Cruiser 100 Turbo Diesel Showdown 4 Speed vs 5 Speed. 1HDFTE detailed feature

[@Dr.IftikharMohammad]

I can say that you have the extreme level of knowledge about Lnad Cruisers and i appreciate you explaining each and everything. You are a great expert in my opinion. I have a 1998 (1HD ) model diesel and a 2016 petrol (2UZ-FE). I did not have that much knowledge before watching your video. Now alot of things are more clear to me , as you explained almost all the models and everything. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@rags2rigsrevivingtheoldcru156]

Nope😊 1HD-FTE surely is reliable... but not the most reliable diesel Toyota engine. If we only consider Land Cruiser models' engines, the 1HZ is way more reliable.😊

[@jamiemagdeleyns9152]

@@rags2rigsrevivingtheoldcru156the 1 hz is not more reliable lol they make less power and still shoot pistons to the moon lol

[@edwinalexander1170]

​​​​​​@@rags2rigsrevivingtheoldcru156 1 HZ is not as powerful than 1HDT FTE, the 1HDTE is very powerful Engine. It has Turbo while 1HZ has no Turbo. 1 HZ is less powerful compared to 1HDT- FTE, the fact that people prefer 1HZ over 1HDT-FTE is that 1HZ has no electronic injection system, it is just a simple engine

I'm doing a 2uz in my 80. The setup I have right now is 2uz with the 4spd. I hear the 5 spd hunts for gears more when going over passes is that correct?

I like these cars, they are the best, Which year is Landcruiser 100 1HDT FTE [24 valves] turbo diesel, 5 speed Automatic transmission? I like 1HDFTE with Intercooler.

[@dadboarding5983]

I have the 2uzfe LX470, and boy is it thirsty! In aus fuel is about $2 a litre so $200 a week to run, however, it is so comfortable and I'm at 550,000kms now with the only major component failure being the original main tank fuel pump. A part of me thinks one day I need to find a nice import Vx to combine the luxury of the LX with the 1HDFTE.

[@jasper-ft3ei]

Hi Tai, I really appreciate all the work you put into your videos, I’ve learned a whole lot from your channel. I live in NZ, and I’m looking at purchasing a 5 speed FTE 100 series. In NZ people place a lot of importance/value on a car being “NZ New”, therefore imported models with lower mileage will usually go for less than NZ New examples with higher ks. I have the opportunity to purchase either a 2007 NZ market 100 with 500,000ks, or a JDM spec 2005 with 230,000ks. From what you’ve said here it seems like the motor in the JDM spec would be more desirable than NZ New? The JDM vehicle also has a fridge in the centre console which I haven’t seen before on any 100s. Its worth noting that the JDM model would still be ~10k more expensive, I’m just wondering which would be your pick. Thanks for your consideration, sorry for the wall of text lol

[@TAI-lr5vr]

@@barbraabsalom4531 it's doable I think

[@barbraabsalom4531]

depends on service history , if you get one from a “ diesel lover “ that’s had 5000k oil changes the engine should have good life left . All in all , factor in that over time expect to pay for some other major failure above 450000k , it might be the auto trans & in the 5 auto they are also a bit weak when it comes to power upgrades , a good reco box say from wholesale autos that’s beefed up with a nomad valve body & deep pan will set you back around 7k ish ( plus 23 week wait time ) or a genuine Toyota new about 10000k plus 1.5k nomad valve body plus deep pan 700 odd , plus temp gauge , then add install for box & gauge , not cheap but you only want to do it once , other things like alternator , harmonic balancer , shocks for the auto height control models like ours are dear as , although Toyota got them for us much cheaper than I could . We spent about 8k labour , plus parts , to get ours at 380000k up to standard ( We are fussy & stick to genuine parts wherever possible ) , the servicing included every fluid , DBA ultimate rotors with bendix pads , full auto trans , transfer , diffs , tie rod ends . Really , the car , in my opinion has got to be in really good condition , cosmetically , rust free & good general mechanically , otherwise if something expensive does let go & your facing a steep repair bill , your are more than likely going to get rid of it . Got to be committed to it , in the long term , as these are still not cheap for 18 to 26 year old vehicles & as good as they are with an fte , they are still old & do develop major problems , especially when not serviced regularly or correctly . So if you go in too deep , you may regret the decision & wish you had of bought a new Ute or dare I say it , a y62 patrol , the 100 still drives like a truck with a ride & nvh to match , where as , say the patrol drives like a luxury car with comparatively low nvh & bucket loads more simple petrol engined horsepower , horses for courses , whichever one you go with , try & get the one that lets you sleep better at night. 😉

[@barbraabsalom4531]

@@TAI-lr5vrIt’s more than doable , these things are still as common as dog poop in Australia , with many V8’s & fte lc100’s still lapping the country towing huge vans , some with large gvm upgrades to allow them to not only tow the 3.5t legal limit here but to also accommodate the endless list of add on accessories like front & rear steel bars with wheel carriers , jerry cans , drawer systems , air bags & onboard compressors , 12volt & 240v inverter setups that allow the use of induction cooktops & even coffee makers , all of which come with an ever increasing weight penalty & must pass rigorous & expensive privately hired engineer approvals to tick off the car as legal to tow & also carry weights in excess of what Toyota or other manufacturers ever designed the vehicle for . Some of the things needed to pass may include bigger braking systems , chassis modifications , strength & load increased suspension components among other stuff . It’s interesting your favourite lc100 is probably now the one most despised in Australia by hardcore four wheel drivers , the torsion bar independent front end is considered a big weak point , with bugger all flex in the suspension compared to a solid axle with lifts to allow for long suspension travel & “ big flex” allowing the cruiser to negotiate some of the toughest tracks in the country with mostly great success . The fte here is also widely regarded as the best Diesel engine to be released in the Australian market , so popular in fact that it gets swapped into other manufacturers cars like the g series patrols & funnily enough the earlier solid axle lc100’s & 80 series cruisers , with many buying fz105’s & not only doing a fte conversion but many a transmission conversion from auto to manual . The fte is so popular a workhorse & considered such an understressed engine the power upgrades including big to huge turbo upgrades , injector pump & injector upgrades & tuning chips ( the ecu cannot be tapped ) added for light to insane power & torque increases where the 4 or 5 speed auto would be destroyed very quickly by outputs of engine power up to 400hp & over 1000nm of torque . Pundits will pay upwards of $15000 aussie , to buy a good or low Kim fte just to start this conversion process , the fte is also favoured for these swaps over the later model & far more complex VDJ v8 diesels that are over complicated with complex induction systems , emissions crap , dpf’s etc , with the old fte achieving similar or even higher outputs than its later v8 cousins . I enjoyed your content , very informative , by the way , I wish my 2006 hdj100 5 auto Sahara ( which was top of landcruiser tree here ) came with steering wheel control buttons like the JDM versions you highlighted.

Nice video, thanks for sharing. One quick question, what is the rpm at 100 kph on the 4 speed vs 5 speed.

[@TAI-lr5vr]

Okay for both jdm it goes 4speed about 2100RPM 5 speed about 1800-1900RPM Both on 285/60R18

[@seanlittlefair105]

@@TAI-lr5vr thanks. My 4 speed is bang on 2100rpm on standard size tyres. I’ve got a speedo correction device as the speedo was about 7 kph out at 100, and wasn’t sure if the speedo was out or the Rev counter. Btw, would u be able to do a ‘deep dive nerd out’ on the 12HT motor that was in the 60 series JDM spec. I had one of those. Direct injection, 4.0 turbo. Cam in block design., inline pump. Sort of like a jap 6BT Cummins, but better ;-). Oh,I also recorded changing my injectors on my 1HD-FTE, if anyone is interested. Thanks for doing your stuff on your channel. It’s very good.

[@seanlittlefair105]

@@hhhhassanmalik I’m happy with my 4speed. They are not as refined as the 5 speed, but mine is pre emissions. I changed the injectors last week at 640,000kms. Couldn’t believe how clean the pre emissions motors are. Hoping to get 1 million out of her ;-).

[@BloodHoundDiesel]

How much km those transmisson will last before opening? 500tkm? 1million?

Depends if it's stock or modified. Stock I've seen some last over half a million km with just light driving, towing with it will affect the longevity

[@mujjaddadrehman2476]

Dear can you also elaborate the horsepower differences and the fuel average differences b/w the 4 speed and 5 speed auto diesel

[@TAI-lr5vr]

Hi there appreciate the comment 😀 The horsepower advertised is the same but it's something you have to experience in order to really appreciate the subtle differences. In terms of fuel economy the 5 speed auto is superior to the old 4 speed auto it's not even a contest. These honestly should be classified as different cars

[@ffit4life]

Thanks for review! Looking to find a clean 1hd-fte LC to import to the states. I guess ill need to wait a few years to get the 5 spd over the 4 that's available to import now.... upgrade happened 2003-2007 correct? Thanks!

[@TAI-lr5vr]

Yes. Any car built after August 2002 will be a 5 speed auto. It's totally worth it just for the quicker response of the VGT and 5th gear. You'd be able to do 62mph at about 1900RPM so 2000rpm should mean you can do 70mph

@@sonnyling3830 happy to help. You can message on Instagram and I might be able to help you

[@YasirKhan-ng9zv]

@sonnyling3830. There are a few things to consider when making the switch. When they changed the transmission they also updated the suspension by adding height control introduced adaptive variable suspension for better ride comfort. However, this came at the cost of the ruggedness of the older suspension, meaning the newer model, while more comfortable, requires more maintenance.
