End of the week wash today. Not sure I’ve ever had a personal vehicle with such a clean engine bay! Kinda odd. What I wish the other side looked like too. Might have to actually address the driver side. JUST SAY NO TO LEAD ACID BATTERIES. JUST SAY NO TO LEAD ACID BATTERIES. This’ll...

Did a custom center console for shifter by pulling a mold off original and modding it. Fabbed
with fiberglass, nothing fancy, but I did put in a custom cup holder for my Yeti.

Got pics of the custom console? Any write up?

Anyone with an 80 series Cummins swap have any info on ac lines ? I’m using a sanden ac compressor and am having trouble sourcing the fittings to custom make to retrofit to my 80

I had a local shop build me a few hoses between the condenser and compressor and between the compressor and firewall. I have some photos on my build thread but you are also welcome to give me a call and I’ll help you get it sorted out.

1. 1996 LX450
2. Drivetrain - 1HDFTE, H152F
3. What went well - importing the JDM HDJ100, minimal downtime when I had all the parts, 3-4 weeks total.
4. What was difficult - Logistics around the wiring harness, who to trust in Australia.
5. Mods - small lift, 35's, PDI intercooler
6. Driving impressions - More power than my tired 1fz-fe, louder diesel sounds in the cabin, cool boost sounds. Easily cruises at 80, pulls hills nicely, a joy offroad.
7. Fuel consumption - ive estimated between 20-25mpg, we'll see how accurate that is.
8. Overall difficulty - ** Easy to moderate? Hardest part is sourcing everything.

Nice work

Great thread!

If anyone is short of small parts to make it work I can post to the US and can source original used parts for the HDJ80

Did you ever figure that out? How’s the diesel swap going?

Yea already done!! 4,000 on the swap

What did you end up doing? I saw there are “ez connectors” which are origned, and don’t require a press to make custom AC hoses, so I was going to do that. I also found a few places which sell denso AC pad conversion to “standard” thread connectors.


Also, what starter did you use?

Made my own AC lines with adapters and I used a 6.7 Cummins starter
