Any Toyota diesel guys here?

Looking to do a swap in Isabelle's MJ to a Toyota 3L or 5L (or later model 2LTII) in spring (for now it's going to run a Jeep 2.5 with carb we got for her)

Yota diesels suck. Get a Nissan diesel!:redneck:

Not sure yet Kev. Trying to find parts and people that know these rigs.

As for the Nissan, it didn't come with an AX or AW trans so it's a tougher swap.

Fer now, since it appears you are in the gathering info/lookin for help phase, I have moved it to gen tech....when you get everything gathered, start a build thread--should be interesting!:awesomework:
And FYI boardbysled, Nissan Diesels are turds!:fawkdancesmiley:

Alright, let me put a correction in my post. Domestic Nissan Diesels aren't the greatest, but some of the motors they have overs seas...:masturbanana[1]:

And lets not even get started on the axles those things have.:masturbanana[1]: Lets just say, they dwarf 80's series stuff...

Hi All:

Avoid the 2L by all means!

If you are serious, source a 13B-T (turbo 3.4L I-4) from a vender up in British Columbia (it would be a JDM import.)

Good luck!
