Hi Everyone,
So after ASTR killed my dreams of fitting an Isuzu 4HE1-T into my FJ45 (thanks to ASTR for working it out, so I didn't have to), I've been looking for a diesel to drop into it. I was really hoping to use an old mechanical 4 cylinder diesel like the 14B-T or 15B-FT but it seems that they are really hard to source and there is very little parts support now in Aus.
My thinking is that if I'm going to put in the effort to make the FJ45 a diesel, then I don't want to get to the point within 5-10 years where I can't get parts for engine maintenance. Been there done that.
In my view there is no point owning a Fj45 if you don't drive it through large puddles (windscreen depth) every now and then. And it would really ruin your day if the ECU got wet and you had to leave your custom FJ45 in the puddle. For this reason the 4D34 and 4M50 Mitsubishi and any of the other ECU controlled diesels don't make sense.
So, I'm looking for an all mechanical diesel swap and am wondering if anyone has tried to fit the Yanmar 6LPA-STP2 mechanical fuel pump to a 1HD-FTE? Or, is there another mechanical pump that can be swapped onto the 1HD-FTE?
The Yanmar is based on the 1HD-FT and puts out 311HP and 516 foot pounds, so the pump can deliver plenty of fuel.
If this can be done, I might consider putting one of these into a FZJ105 too.
Any experience with swapping a mechanical pump onto a 1HD-FTE would be appreciated. Or for that matter any diesel that was still in production in 2007 with outputs of at least 140 hp and 350 foot pounds.
Thanks in advance.
