3l

Hello diesel crowd, As the title suggests, I'm in search of guidance for adding a turbo to a Toyota 3L engine, mechanically injected and naturally aspirated. Specifically, a good friend of mine recently purchased a 1997 Dyna 150 with a 3L from a fellow who had imported it directly from Japan...

Hello, I am new on the site, I am sadly not a mechanic😬, and I recently bought a Overland rig on a Toyota Dyna 4x4 with a diesel 3l engine and a manual transmission and equipped with a temperature gage at the exit of the motor 😀 I know that these engines tend to overheat of pushed too hard, and...

Is the EGR blanking plate the same for a 3L and 5L? My 5L has an egr system that is full of carbon. I want to blank it off, but only really see blanking plates for 3Ls. I still need to fully remove the system, but I provided photos below Easiest for me is to by something than to create at the...

Hey there, I'm creating this post to seek feedback and document my process of turbocharging the 2L-II engine. If this isn't the appropriate place, please let me know, and I'll relocate it. Some info on my truck I've owned my 1994 Hiace Pickup truck for about a year now. I built a camper for...

Man, i was really hoping some of the excessive smoke was maybe from a faulty glow plug, but its been running fine. Besides a few intake issues (some stuff not capped off etc) its been running fine. So i did some investigating. All glow plugs are fine, and pulled the intake off the turbo...and...

Howdy all, Just joined as this seems to be one of the few places on the internet where one can find information on the Toyota 3L diesel engine. Not new to diesels myself, I'm a glutton for GM 6.5 diesel punishment and run a 2003 VW ALH TDI as well. I'm a big fan of the older, more simple...

Hello ya'll, Ive got some, what i think is excessive oil blow by coming out where the breather tube connects to the valve cover. Wondering if this is normal or theres an issue? And if its the latter, what are my options to solve it? Checking oil frequently, doesnt seem to be using excess oil...

As detailed in another thread, I am likely going to be rebuilding my 2.8 diesel. Because the 3L and 5L engines (5L with mech injection) are incredibly similar, I have considering swapping in a low mileage 5L. Finding one has so far proved difficult. I don't know of anyone that imports them...

Chance to buy a 93’ LJ78 ($16.2k, 130k-ish miles). Read all over the forums and the consensus is the engine is going to crack a head because the inadequate cooling system, unless significant modding is done. However, this one has been upgraded to a 3L, radiator serviced, EGR delete. Overall...

I have a 1994 Hilux LN106 3L with 160,000 km. When I changed the oil two months ago, after ~6,000 km and one month on new oil and filter, I borrowed a funnel from a friend to pour used oil from one container to another, and when he put the funnel into a bag he always uses after oil changes, the...

Hello guys! Virgin here in this forum haha. Been following and reading for quite awhile now. Finally got my first LJ79, its a 1994 model. Comes with a 2.8L Diesel engine but the previous owner stuffed a turbo on it. Now there's some kinda engine oil leak coming out from the back left...

Hey all! Unfortunately, it’s looking like the LJ70 I purchased isn’t in the condition that I believed it to be in. There are some significant oil leaks, major lack of power on hills, and I believe the turbo is on its way to the turbo graveyard. It’s a 2LT, so I can’t say that I am shocked...

Hello, :cheers: (If this post belongs elsewhere, mods please move or delete) I have a '92 Hiace Super GL that I purchased damaged. 3L diesel with under 150,000 km threw a rod out the side of the block. The crank will rotate about 120 degrees. I'd hoped for a direct swap, but have yet to find...

Hey y'all, Been lurking for a while I just wanted to post a short intro. I recently purchase a 1990 toyota 4runner 2nd gen with a 3L turbo diesel swap. I've got a 6inch lift with 33 super swampers its a fun rig to drive i love it a lot. I've been doing lots of research over the past few...

Hi Guys, Tiny Malta here (small rock in the centre of the Med) and I'm Mark ,I have just registered. I started offloading some seven years ago after I set my eyes on a Hilux Ln109 (IMAGE 1) with some mods that I got in part ex with a new hilux since i was working at a Toyota Automotive...

Hi, With reference to my old post: Swap Compatibility L, 2L, 3L, 5L? I have now managed to pull things apart and I am looking at the following: 1. I have a Hiace with an L engine incl transmission and everything else. 2. I bought a used 3L engine from a Toyota Dyna where I only have the...

Sold my 1991 Hilux a few months ago and wasnt able to sell the turbo kit with it.... so its been chillen just itching to jump into another HILUX!! wish i could have put er in and seen the difference but i never had the time. So best offer takes it (within reason) I paid $3500 i know ridiculous...

Just as the title says, does anyone know of a way to identify whether a 3L head has been swapped into a 2LTE motor or not? I'm looking at an LJ78 to buy and the seller says its done but has no papers (previous owner had it done). hopefully someone can help. I'm surprised this hasn't been asked...
