Just transplanted an "82 1L into my "80 4x4. It runs and drives..as expected, with too little power, but I was ready for that. its my offroad toy with dual T-cases (2.28 & 4.7 gears) and it makes plenty of power for its intended purpose, just not on the highway. Anyway....It will not shut off. I used the harness & ignition switch from the donor truck, transplanted all the relays and ...

So I am thinking of getting a turbo for my 84 2L. Will there be a noticeable performance gain of MPG gain from this? Is it worth it? Will it work well with this engine seeing as how it was not designed for it? What modifications will I need/parts? Any info or advice is greatly appreciated!

from what i have read on here others with 2l-t's have had failures in cylinder #4, be it cracking heads or big end problems. What reason is it that #4 fails before the others? what are ways to prevent this from happening? I was running 2.5" exhaust, intercooled with 12psi of boost. my engine was probably always worn out and cracked having 460,000km, but it got too smokey to drive. and hard to ...

I have a 2lt not (2lte) and the transmission that came with it in the half cut, 31 X 10.50R15LT size tires, and 4.30 differentials. The trucks top speed is about 60 mph. It feels good on the low end in the city but unbearably slooow on the highways. I was thinking that it must be my gearing- trans-tire-diff combo. I have to cruize at about 2300-2400 rmp, and at times have had to bring it up ...

Hey all, I've got a few questions for those out there that live in cold weather climates. I've got a 92' surf and I'm rebuilding the head this week. I think it would be a good opportunity to put in a block heater too. I'm wondering how many of you guys are using block heaters vs inline/circulating heaters or oil pan heaters? From what I saw, I don't think I have a flat surface large ...

Hi- I found a used 1985 toyota 2wd pickup truck with a 2L-T engine and only 80k original miles. I'm wondering what a fair price for it is? If I don't end up buying it I'll post the details so someone else can have a shot at it. Owner states that its in great conidtion. i've only seen pictures, not in person. Assuming its in great shape, what do you think is a fair price? thanks Ben

How is your toyota diesel engine running? It seems like people are mostly posting up here about their problems and i don't see as many positive threads as i was hoping i would. Keep this basic

I am trying to figure out why the little red light on my instrument cluster comes on after just a little while of driving. From the Australian Toyota surf website ( http://dahn.webcity.com.au/ ) it has been referred to as the overboost protection light, not just a check engine light as others here have suggested. I don’t yet have boost and egt gauge to really know what is going on, but…...

Hey guys! im thinking of converting a 79 toyota hilux, in connecticut, with a 22r in it into a diesel. I want to keep things simple if i'm going to do this, and i'm in no rush, either. If i were to do this, i wouldn't start the project until the current engine in it blew up, or by spring of 2009, whichever comes first, or whichever i can afford first (i believe in the saying, if its not ...

greetings diesel lovers, i happen to have a dude of mine who owns a hiace 3L which over heats many times (am in africa) now so far what i have heard form other owners is that they disable some sort of a thermostat which controls God i have no idea, but once they do that the engine cools off even after a long drive on a hot day... can anyone please lecture me on this...

Changed the fuel filter two days back which sorted the issue temporarily but now its started again doing the same thing, its not cutting off but on idle you can hear the fuel is not flowing properly.

I am looking for some help. Please help. I am wondering if anyone knows if it is possible at all to put a diesel engine into a 2007 FJcruiser. Maybe what kind would be the best and where I might find such a thing. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have an original 1985 2L, 2WD, 5 speed manual with a 3.91 differential and I get 35 mpg running mostly 60 mph down the interstate. I have seen available in junk yards a ratio as low (high?) as 3.07. Will this 20 percent decrease in rpm translate into a 20 percent increase in mpg? I am in Florida where the biggest hill I can find is 50 feet so I don't think I will get bogged down if I try ...

Did anyone know how to reset my 5L-E ECU? I just replaced my spill valve (solenoid) control. And now check engine will light on after 10-15 seconds engine start... Thx for helping me...

So my flex pipe broke, so i ended up just chopping it out since my exhaust was rusting out anyways and I've been wanting to size up the exhaust anyways this is the perfect time. I've been quoted around 600 bucks to get my exhast redone with 2.5" piping (thats with custom bending and muffler i think) from one shop. I was kinda hoping to go with 3" but then I'd have to find another shop. So first ...

I have a 1985 toyota turbo diesel 4x4. I am trying to increase the power and speed. I have considered putting in an intercooler. From what I've gathered it would be the cheapest upgrade. Maybe 10-14hp? Can't install a 3l cam not the correct head, been told if I put on 3in exhaust it would lose low end and top end power because the truck only has 96hp and it would lose all the back pressure....
