That's a 1HD-T in the picture (not a 1hz)
1HZ is multi valve, was not factory turbo. The 1HZ variety with turbo was called 1hd-fte
Because most on this forum are in the US, and diesel LC/LX are unavailable here. Unobtanium is always "really cool". Economy: maybe, if a diesel variant is available, but a diesel swap is not for economy, most will spend way more on the conversion than they will ever see in fuel $$ savings.sorry but will somebody answer my question:
why diesel?
Economy?
Torque?
so if in my case, I have a lx450 the only thing i have to change is the motor or anything else!

for me, i do engine swaps and custom builds on cruisers, i NEVER recommend a complicated engine to be swapped into a customers truck. simple seems to work to both the customers and my benefit.
but if you feel comfortable then by all means...
that engine, to me, is NOT cruiser porn.
I get it, it's easier to work on and the gain from an ECU controlled engine (especially diesel) is minimal. There's a big benefit though to an electronically controlled engine and that is optimal variations of inputs. The other important factor is troubleshooting. With an ECU, you can narrow down a problem using information from the engine, instead of starting from scratch.
I agree, that an ECU adds another level of complexity to an engine, and they can be troublesome. On the other hand, it will extend the life of said engine by controlling the inputs and preventing (or helping at least) it from destroying itself with an improper variant (like screwed up timing, bad injector, overboosting, etc).
