It maybe listed in a parts catalogue but notice there is no mention of a 1HD T in the same catalogue which makes it seem a misprint.
Also it says it was available in certain markets including Australia,well I havent seen any high altitude Coaster school buses in my area with 1HZ T.
They are all using factory turbos
As I said before ,the 1HZ T pistons are probably the aftermarket type for home brew turbo 1HZ.
I believe they are sold through Repco and Engine Reconditioners Australia not Toyota. (if Repco are selling them its probably ACL who makes them as they are owned by Repco)
What annoys me in these debates is that people go off cockeyed believing such an engine exists when it plainly doesnt
Then you must spend time in the future convincing newbies who are looking for the mythical factory 1HZ T for their transplants that it doesnt exist like the Golden fleece or Elvis's missing HARLEY
Apart from a misprint there is no other evidence it ever existed.
OK, so how many misprints do you think they could make on one vehicle?
Firstly a lesson in Toyota model codes, 1990's Coasters are known as HZB30 (when fitted with 1HZ) and HDB30 when fitted with 1HD* engines - this scheme is the same as used for all the other vehicles they manufacture. (eg. HZJ80 vs. HDJ80 vs. FZJ80, etc).
The catalogue only has a listing for HDB30 Coasters up until 01/1993. After that date the Coasters are known as 50 series, eg. HZB50, BB50 (15BFT eng.) now note that there is no listing for a HDB50!!!
Further, when looking into the HZB50R listed with the 1HZ-T, we notice that:-
1. Camshaft is standard 1HZ issue
2. Conrod is 1HD* also shared with HDJ78/79/80/100
3. Pistons are not shared with ANY other application, i.e. unique to the 9301 - 9605 HZB50 Coaster
4. It uses pintle injectors and lists pre-combustion chambers - IDI!
5. Shows exhaust manifold, turbo and crossover (turbo part no. again unique to the 9301 - 9605 HZB50 Coaster
6. Maybe this will convince you - the engine designation decal part number
11291-17020 as per image below - self explanatory really.
A real comedy of misprints wouldn't you think?
