lj78

Hi Gang! Excited to be a part of the forum. I just impulse bought a Prado Turbo Diesel 2LTE 1990. I love it, but have already had a world of problems. Two oil leaks, a fuel leak, a dead solenoid and hub issues.... YAY! My new concern are both the glow plugs, or alternately the temperature...

Any rebuild kits out there worth getting? Recently came across this kit on eBay and wonder if anyone has anything to say

Hi team, I brought this 1991 sx swb prado. Been parked up in his shed for 10 years with a new head and the egr system removed with a mechanical fuel pump installed on my 2L-TE. It runs smooth. But there not a lot of power. I'm assuming it has something to do with the Turbo, but I can't be...

1990-Toyota Land Cruiser Prado lj78 2LTE. Its automatic gear has a problem while shifting as per the normal functionality of the automatic transmission when it needs to shift into 2nd from the 1st gear it goes to 3rd directly and while shifting between these gears the engine rpm goes higher and...

Greetings, I have noticed that the my starter is not responding for several attempts especially in the morning. Then after several attempts it picks and starts the engine without problems. During the attempts the only single sound from the starter is the contacts sound of the ignition to the...

Hello mates! It's me again, I have decided not to tinker with my 3L-turbo that's giving me some small issues which I find annoying. Plus, rebuilding it costs quite a bomb here (Malaysia) - probably less than what I am going to embark on but still don't think it's worth it. So, I have found...

Hello everyone! Like millions of 2LTE owners before me, I have been spending my time chasing a random overheating issue on my LJ78. The temp will spike to nearly the red at random times with no consistency surrounding the driving conditions. I’ve been assuming the worst, but today I noticed...

Original 7 blade fan and fan clutch from LJ78 2LTE motor. worked fine, but Iupgraded to the 8 blade and a new clutch. If anyone needs these, let me know. Any fair offer to make it worth boxing and shipping them.

Has anyone had experience with blowby on there engines? The truck was consuming quite some oil so I fitted a catch can. Found that fills woth oil pretty quick....200ml with about 150km of driving. Found quite a bit of excessive pressure from the oil cap cover and dipstick when removed which...

Looking at overhauling my 2LTE myself. So I don't run into problems removing the engine. How or what is the best way to split the transmission (a343f) from the engine to remove it?

Starting another build thread for yet another JDM KZJ78 that's landed in PacNW..or rather hoping to continue the good work started by @Lenny33 who let me pick up where he left off. He has a great build thread as well. Lenny33 put alot of great mechanical work to bring this machine to a great...

Hi Guys Ive seen a few EGR forums on here regarding deleting it. Im quite new to these engines and have seen on mine that the previous owner (in Japan) has played around with the system. Can someone tell me or see what they have done in terms with the vac lines? I inspected the inlet manifold...

The 2LTE in my 78 blew up at the beginning of 2020 and I've been looking for an engine to swap into it for a while now. I was considering the 1uz but I recently found a 1kd for sale in my area in great condition. My 78 has the a343f auto trans in it, and I know the 1kd was mated to this...

Daily Driver, Great shape. Synthetic Fluids. Building a house on land and i'll need a Tractor/Backhoe/FEL or BobCat more than I'll need this now. Or a heavy duty 4x4 Diesel Truck maybe with a Dump bed. Anyway, Replaced the Fan Clutch with brand new and upgraded to the 7 blade fan per one of the...

Is this the original glow plug insulator? And does anyone if there's suppost to be one on the bottom of the intake manifold where those two wires go? Dropped off the side of the block and onto the floor when I was shifting the harness.

Allright guys, Over this past year I have been reading up on this forum for different tips and tricks to gain extra power out of the 2LTE and thought i would share my experience, as I haven't seen it been done on any of these related forums. I obtained the truck in February, and in the saddest...

Hey everyone, I'm hoping someone could assist me with this question. My LJ78 is currently getting aligned and looked over before I head out on a long road trip. My mechanic who is doing the work is concerned about forcing this piece out (attached below). Does anyone have any recommendations...

Hi everyone. My 1st post here. I need your help. I have a 82 LJ78 for the last 4 years. I got tired of the underpowered 2LTE engine and swapped it with a 1KZTE but kept the transmission from old engine. Now, it is giving me troubles (tranny has been rebuilt once as it was slipping in all gears...
