Good to know.
What are the pros/cons of 1HDT vs 1HZ? Or a better option?
they are both diesel 6cyl engines.
1hdt is a direct injected, turbo diesel with 165hp/266tq stock.
1HZ is an indirect injected non turbo diesel with 130/210tq stock.
Turning up the fuel and boost a little on the 1hdt will pop those numbers up easily. The 1HZ needs turbod to get any improvement in HP and that is a whole nother search rabbit hole I’m not even going down lol.
The 1HZ is an excellent simple engine that will outlive the rig if looked after with simple maintenance. It’s not powerful but decent in an HJ45.
A 1hdt is a little more complex with the turbo, but honestly that’s about it. Much more room
For safe power upgrades. If ogbeno says every part is available….it’s available and that’s all I’d need to know to be Ok with purchasing.
I owned an HJ45 and I live at 5000’ feet. It was stupid slow lol. Anything is an improvement.
I currently own a bj74 factory 4cylinder turbo diesel 13bt, specs are similar to 1HZ. Personally I prefer turbos just for tuning and altitude issues. I have issues on some parts for mine. I wouldn’t go any older than 1HZ/IhdT for parts availability.
