First up, apologies if this has been covered before as my attention to 1HZ topics has been somewhat lacking...

I've always been under the impression that the 1HZ was only ever offered from the factory as a N/A (non turbo) engine, and the engine code 1HZ-T used by people that have added the turbo/manifold from a 1HDT to their 1HZ.

I recently got my hands on the 'General Area' EPC, and found myself looking at the engines fitted to the 'Coaster' bus range.

There along with the 1HZ was a 1HZT.

It is fitted to the 9301-9605 HZB50 for General markets except SCO (Some Countries Only - Hong Kong, Singapore), ARL (Australia) and GCC (Gulf Corporation Council).

I just thought i would throw this around, maybe someone is running one and can provide additional info, maybe some pictures...

The factory engine lable might be cool for those running a 1HZ-T:D

I think its a printing error. You may notice they have omitted the 1HD T from the parts list .The 1HD T was widely sold in oz in Landcruiser and the Coaster.

Also a turbo Coaster has the alpha code as HDB according to my FSM.
 
Ahh right, cheers for that. Something didnt seem quite right there.
 
To add to the mystery, I was once was shown a 2003 Toyota Land Cruiser brochure that stated this model year 79s came with a base 1HZ or an optional 1HZ-T.

The brochure was from the Naha Toyota dealership in Okinawa. The HZJ79s were for special order and none were on the lot.

I think rosco's guess makes the most sence. I have never seen or heard of a 1HZ-T other than that brochure.
 
there NEVER was a 1HZT from the factory in any of the Land Cruiser line-up, the 1HDT or the 1HZ was offered.

the direct injection engine was the 1HDT and the non-turbo 1HZ was an indirect injection engine. to me the indirect injection engine would be a nice turbo'd engine since it would eliminate the sensitive throttle that is experienced with the direct injected Toyota engines coupled to a manual tranny.

the 1HZ-T is an after market turbo fitted to a NA 1HZ engine. this is a common designation we apply to our engines once we turbo them on Mud.

Hey Wayne-o,

Your running mud through your turbo?

I have never heard of that before. Can you post up some diagrams of how this new technology works?

I don't think the 1HZ-T was made to run on mud.:D
 
didn't you know you use mud to increase the combusion pressure and to cool the charge... right up there with water injection but for more extreme working pressures...














LOL!! that is what i get for posting at 3:30 am...
 
Here a few Coaster that come ( only few ones coz the route driver are enought smart to blow head each month ) with 1HD-T engines ..

But that pic looks like interesting .. and I believe all from Toyota ..
 
after some more checking to get my facts straight no 70 series (anywhere) came with a 1HZ-T or a HDT till after 1998 at least.

I think it is genuine. Looking at the numbers of the major engine components on EPC I found that the 1HZ-T motor uses
  • a different head to the 1HZ although both are indirect injection heads (unlike the 1HD-T or 1HD-FT)
  • a different head gasket to the 1HZ (although the 1HZ and 1HD-T use the same part number here)
  • different pistons to the 1HZ
  • a different injection pump to the 1HZ, 1HD-T or 1HD-FT
  • a different turbocharger to the 1HD-T or 1HD-FT
and
  • the same pre-injection chamber inserts (cups) as the 1HZ
  • the same main bearings as the 1HZ, 1HD-T and 1HD-FT
  • the same big end bearings as the 1HZ, 1HD-T and 1HD-FT
  • the same rings as the 1HZ, 1HD-T and 1HD-FT
  • the same crankshaft as the 1HZ, 1HD-T and 1HD-FT
  • the same small-end bearings as the 1HD-T and 1HD-FT (different to 1HZ items)
  • the same intake pipe as the 1HD-T
From this it is clear that the 1HZ-T is an indirect injection turbo diesel. The fact that it uses different pistons and heaad gasket to the 1HZ is probably due to the need to drop the compression ratio.

It is strange that Toyota did an indirect injection turbo diesel alongside their direct injection ones, but the EPC evidence seems to suggest that the 1HZ-T actually exists and is more than a typo.

Holy thread resurrection! Have you been researching this these past few months? Let the debating begin!
 
Until someones shows me a pic of the aluminium plate Toyota affix to firewalls with 1HZ T as the engine it was supplied with,I remain unconvinced.

I am not able to do that.;) The Coaster was never sold in South Africa and I have certainly not seen a factory 1HZ-T (although I have seen plenty turbo conversions of the 1HZ).

Perhaps the Coaster with 1HZ-T was never actually sold in Aussie. When I checked EPC it showed that the HZB50R Coaster with 1HZ-T was destined for Europe. Eaton Truck Europe, Middle East & North Africa make mention of a 1HZ-T powered Coaster in their Toyota Clutch Catalogue.

I find it intersting how much faith people have in something that has never been seen in the flesh
Someone who no longer visits this site showed me a reference to the 1HZ T some years back.
That person and I looked long and hard for proof ,and there is none that I can see,except for this reference .

Engines Aust also have it mentioned in their catalog but not Toyota Aust :alarm bells ringing:

The proof is in the pudding gentlemen,and we have no pudding.

Why would Toyota Australia care about a vehicle that was never sold there?

Here're the auction results from an HZB50 that was sold out of japan.

Here's an HZB56 that's currently for sale in NZ.
