1kzte

Hello, I have a 4Runner / Surf 1KZTE which is showing fault code 35 for MAP sensor. I have replaced the sensor off another running vehicle to test, and the same issue still persists. I've checked the small filter and the hole in the intake manifold and neither are blocked. When under heavy...

What are all the differences between the kzj78 and LJ78? Obviously one has the 1kz and the other has the 2.4 liter, I also know the dash on the 2 are slightly different, other than that are they the same? (Axles, transmission, transfer case, brakes etc?)

G'day all , I'm a new member so I hope I've posted this build in the correct thread category. I've always loved 40/45series and a few years back acquired a 1972 fj40 ( for free). It was completely rusted other than the doors and chassis. So, with no mechanical experience, limited four wheel...

Hey everyone. I just hit a year of owning my land cruiser and I just wanted to hear what you guys would recommend for some maintenance. I’ll give a list of what I’ve done At 92,000 kilometers: Water pump, timing belt, new thermostat, steering knuckles, radiator flush, new suspension. Shop...

Anyone have experience running a cold air intake on a kzj78/1kzte? Are there any kits specific for this engine or can I just get a universal one, And what do you do with the sensor in the intake? Also any performance improvements (power, fuel economy)? Also maybe post some photos of your guys’...

Just took my kzj78 into the mechanic for the valve cover gasket and also the crossover pipe/ turbo inlet gasket I believe it’s called, I provided both the gaskets and got them from cruiser outfitters so I’m certain they’re the right ones, but from the minute I got the truck back it now has a...

Anyone know what this leak is coming from on my land cruiser? Coming from the front left side, looks like it’s from whatever that is right in front of my left motor mount. Also any idea why I have this tube that’s attached to the frame but isn’t going to anything on either side? Thanks- 1994...

I've been told that mineral/semi-synthetic is better than full synthetic for a 94 1kz. With EGR deleted would JASO DH-1 be better than JASO DH-2, as with the EGR removed there isn't any other exhaust treatment device? Also, I'm having a tough time finding JASO certified mineral oil in Canada...

Hi everyone , new to the forum Just purchased a kzj78 few weeks ago. Located in NY I need to source a high output Alternator Here in the states. Ive been looking and can only find them in AUS and 1. The alternators i have found dont specify the fitment on a KZJ78, but they are for a 1kzte so i...

So I noticed at the back of my valve cover gasket there’s a nice amount of buildup of some black sludge. I’ll post a photo. There was so much that I couldn’t even see there was a notice badge on there. I’m also not entirely sure what this little nozzle does or why it’s so loose, maybe that’s the...

While checking my fuse box I noticed there’s a missing fuse on the spot titled “glow” I’m assuming it’s glow plugs? Could someone confirm this, just want to make sure I’m not missing something crucial to the engines health. The other missing one is titled “diff” but I’m not sure if that’s just a...

Bought a cylinder head from a local company. almost 6 months later my kzn130 is still collecting dust in the garage, head off. First one came, installed it, had numerous leaky valve seats/ valve clearances out of spec (also came with metal filings). They sent another, this one had incorrect...

Hi all. As part of my 2lte upgrades roject I'm researching head replacement options.. I know a 3l head will fit but I'm intrigued with a 1KZTE short valve head.. it's the bigger intake & exhaust valves.. So will this head fit my 2lte block?? Thanks for your replies in advance..

Hey guys, We've been travelling the world in our old but gold (kind of) Land Cruiser Prado for the past 2.5 years and never had any problems with the engine (had lots of others to compensate). Until recently, unfortunately. So it goes like this: We're driving and everything's fine. Engine...

I have qty. 2 1995-2002 Hilux or Prado (1KZ-TE) air filters for sale. Brand new, never used. I am selling these due to no longer having a vehicle they fit. I am not sure of other models these might fit, so do your research if you think they might. These are available for about $40/each without...

For the techies, can someone explain why the 1/2” breather tube on the 1KZ vents to the turbo inlet, rather than to the intake manifold (post IC) like the EGR. What’s the benefit of compressing the blow-by gasses, gumming up the turbo and the intake? My theory is that this facilitate gas...

Can anyone post p/n for the PCV valve on 1KZ-TE? I am likely going to do the breather mod with 12229-54070 (Toyota 4WD Surf Owners • View topic - Toyota fix for oil consumtion and oil in air ducts), but I want to replace the PCV valve at the same time.

Hi all, I though I'd share my build thread over here with the Mudders. Full build thread here: anothernord's JDM 1KZ-TE diesel swap (2001 Tacoma 3.4) I've always thought it would be cool to have a small displacement diesel in my truck. So I decided to do it. Diesel Toys charges $20,000 for...
