Hi all, I am new to the site and I'm considering buying either an HZJ80 or HDJ80 LHD and importing to the US. Admittedly, I suck at using the search function, but I'm surprised that I've been unable to find a breakdown of the differences - good and bad - between the 1HZ and the 1HD-T engines.
In an effort to educate myself (and others), I'd like to solicit the opinions of all crusty, old, curmudgeons on the vices and virtues of each engine. What do people like about one and not the other? What can you do with one that you wouldn't do with the other? Would I run into trouble trying to throw a modest turbo onto a 1HZ? Does one really shine where the other doesn't, or are they fairly comparable? All thoughts, facts, opinions, and superstitions welcome.
I'm looking forward to hearing your responses.
