What markets got the hdj79 past 2006?
From what I know, none. Also from what I know, only Australia got HDJ78/79's. No intake shutters, no EGR, different turbo, different sump pan and few other things.
Up to now all the FTE's I have built I have used the majority of HDJ79 OEM parts vs HDJ100/101. Even though the engines are from HDJ100's. We have even deleted all the intake shutter and EGR junk on one German FTE using Aussie spec HDJ79 parts. There are differences between a Euro FTE vs a stripped down Aussie HDJ79 FTE. Such as intake manifold and injection pump hard lines. HDJ79's also seem to spin the timing case normal direction, same as a 1HDT/FT or even a 1PZ/1HZ. But we have had several HDJ100 FTE's that all the timing case gears are cut the opposite direction, including p/s pump and vac pump. In fact we swapped one out for HDJ79, all gears and related parts in the timing case. This because we were building it from scratch and only the normal non-HDJ100 FTE vac pump is still available new. This is also the same vac pump still used on current production 1HZ's, hence it still being available vs the specific HDJ100/101 style with reverse cut gears. Again, all this is just from my experience.
What I don't know is if there is a difference in injectors or pistons with say a Euro spec HDJ100 vs an Aussie spec HDJ79? I am talking pistons dome & injectors spray pattern. Doesn't really matter at this point just curious.
All the FTE's we have built so far are stripped down versions, IE we delete the soft shut down, cross over piping, intake heater screen, factory turbo, EGR delete and so forth. There is not a lot to them once stripped down, bit more than an 1HDT/FT but nothing crazy.
