im sorta new to this and have been hearing and seeing alot about diesel swaps. but they never say what kind of gas mileage and torque or horsepower ratings that there getting out of the engines. so if someone knows can you tell me. also what are the advantages to this?
That's regarding the 2LT-E. I get 30-35mpg. Off the top of my head, I'd say it's got 105hp (standard, mine isn't modified), and about 50% more torque. The bottom line is it is powerful and got LOTS of torque. More than the tires can absorb if I were to floor it at every stoplight.
If I were doing one again, I'd skip the 2LT-E though. 1KZ-TE or 3L baby!
Sorry, I don't have a number. But I can tell you that in first gear, high range, it has about as much torque as the gas engine did in low range, 3rd gear (maybe?).
Looking for a number isn't what you want. It's more that the diesels torque band starts at much lower RPMs, and is much more constant than a gas engine. It makes it seem considerably torque-ier. Like I said, it's got more torque than I care to use in day to day driving. I'm honeslty concerned about the long term health of my U-joints and driveline if I were to get my foot into every start.
I don't know if brian894x4.com has specs on these engines or not (although I think they might), I think some of them might be availabe from SOR's catalog. Frankly, I'm not a numbers guy. What amazes me is that at 65mph, at 6,000 feet MSL, I cruise with maybe one quarter throttle, and can still push myself back into the seat pretty good.
