Diesel conversion from 2F to 1HZ (1 Viewer)

[augirthedude]

Making the change to diesel by installing a 1HZ with a H55 trans into my 86 FJ60. Any one out that has done this conversion... any advice or suggestions are welcome.

Talk with Georg (@orangefj45 ) as he has done it on a few rigs. Think one of the rigs is actually @justintpryor 's dad.

Please search in the 60 and Diesel section this swap has been well doctumented.

Suggest you give Georg a call (650-576-2023). He will give you all the options and cost estimates. He has a lot of custom parts (i.e. motor mounts) you should consider purchasing from him if you plan on doing the swap yourself. If you want him do the work, it will not be inexpensive, and his waiting list lengthly. He did my 60 a couple of years ago and I'm very happy with the results.

Yup, @orangefj45 engine mounts, a HZJ75 bell housing, and just drop her in. But get a turbo set up from the beginning!

Agreed! I had initially considered NA, but I'm glad I went with the turbo. Even with a mild boost of 12#, it makes a huge difference in performance. For my install, Georg went with a generic Garrett, with a custom adapter. The 1HZ into a post 8/85 60 is one of Georg's preferred conversions, as virtually everything is bolt in except the motor mounts. Extending the wiring to the drivers side for the fuel solenoid, starter, oil and temperature sensors is all that is required. However, I would highly recommend adding an auxiliary relay in the start circuit, as the 1HZ starter solenoid current (18 Amps) is a bit much for the stock wiring.

Yes. I looked at Steve's, @MountNGoat truck when I first started talking to Georg about the conversion. The workmanship and Steve's recommendation made my decision an easy one.

Doing my own work on this conversion and staying with a naturaly aspirated . Wiring will be a breeze. We will see about the engine mounts ... ? I have a mig welder available to reposition or for fabricating ... looking forward to getting this started !

What is the going rate and Availablity of the 1HZ?

Well as to availability, you can still buy the block from Toyota. Going rate on the other hand...
@MountNGoat has the set up you want.

Correct
and one day he will have to die right?

What turbo kit are you using?

What turbo kit are you using?

It wasn't a kit; Georg fitted a Garrett GT2860 using a custom adapter to mount it to the 1HZ manifold. I believe several people are now making this adapter. All the intake piping was fabricated from locally purchased parts.

 

[Brost]

Nice I came across probably the cheapest way possible to turbo a 1HZ last night with stock crossover and manifold like yours.

Looks like a nice kit. Here is what Georg used.

 

[Brost]

@db3 is anyone producing this one. One I sent is about $150usd and obviously a bit bulkier

A couple of years ago I believe @Akella was producing something like it. He used to have a website, but I cannot find a link to it, so I'd PM him.

 

[Akella]

@db3 thank for the tag

@Brost I still have a few CNC machined adapters for 1hz to T3 turbo.

I will try to dig them out and post a few pictures later tomorrow

 

[Akella]

Sorry had to dig them out

Nice! How many left and how much per flange. Might buy 5+

Any of you guys with 1hz conversions able to run me through wiring one it's not my strongest strength

Just about to start putting one into a HJ47

Feel free to pm me
