Pretty much agree, though with a direct injected engine at least your cooling system will be under a hell of a lot less stress.

You wouldn't be far off that with the 1kz though would you? My 1kz kzn185 gets 11L. Wonder if a mechanical pumped 1kz would still get close to that.

Did they change at a particular time?. I was under the impression they used tapered nuts on steel wheels and the other nuts were fitted to alloy wheels, well, on hiluxs anyway.

What kind of gains are you looking for with the swap?

I think if you had proper injectors set up for it, and a pump that was a good match it could be different. Mine was getting 12.5L per hundred, and my 1kz uses 11. Haha

Yeah it all comes down to money. I was lucky as I had a 1kd with a melted piston as a donor. Pistons are cheap from overseas, but I used the rods from my spare engine. If I used a 1kd again I would have bought a complete engine and kept the common rail.

Hey mate, just replied to your message. Feel free to ask anything you need to know, I've actually sold the car and went back to a 1KZ powered KZN185

You should be able to just get out the car and bridge it while it's running. I'll check on mine, see if it works

Maybe keep your paper clip with you, and if it plays up on the road and the check light is on, pull over and bridge the connector before you shut it down.

Yeah it's the one under the bonnet. Should have a label in it telling you what pins they are. You'll have to put the ignition on after you bridge it, forgot to mention that.

Any kind of conductive wire or metal should work. When you count them, it'll flash the check engine light. If it logged say, code 32, it'll flash 3 times, then pause momentarily and flash twice. See how you go

Sounds like it could be a dodgy tps sensor. Try bridging E1 and TE1 in the diagnostic connector and see what codes it logs. If the engine check light is coming on, it's logged something.

I had my 1kz engine run away, was my own fault. I incorrectly adjusted the spill control valve, so every time it injected diesel it would inject a full plunger stroke. Holy crap did it rev quick when I started it. Blocked the intake up but still kept going, had to adjust the valve to get it to...

Can you get an aluminum bell housing for the 15b, and get it modified with your old r150 bellhousing and use that? People do that here with conversions with good success

A balancing scooter, a pee bag and an emergency gps. What a combination!
