Great diesel swap for any interested

[HZJ60 Guy]

Im posting this here because it's the Diesel section. This is a Toyota website, but the engines are PowerStroke 2.8 liter four cylinders. This would be a great motor for just about any Cruiser.

We have secured a large shipment of powerstroke 2.8 4 cylinder turbo diesel engines. These are NEW with warranty check out the pic. If you're interested in putting them into your Wrangler or Ford Ranger pickup, give us a call. Engine specs are:
2785 direct injection turbo diesel 4 cylinder
138 PS @ 3800 rpm
torque 277 ft/lbs @ 1400 rpm
Bosch VP14 (non electric)
Variable Geometry Turbo
Intercooled

the good old international 4 banger diesels are finally here. Now can you get parts in the usa? They are nice engines, but they use a timing belt, I rather have gears.

Might be a good replacement for a 2.4

I'd think that you could up the torque to around 300 pnd ft. That's respectable in a cruiser.

I have heard the Land rover crowd tried to get them in a few years ago, but there is no EPA cert on those engines. Was really hard to get registered in a lot of places...

No idea if that holds true.

Isn't that what TLC4X4 is using in their ICON? If so, it must be a fairly good swap.

I was just about to say that... I believe it is!

Parts are available through International USA. They cost about $5000 shipped. These are NEW with warranty from local dealers. The best thing about this engine is their adaptability. You can put in front of:
NV series transmissions

It's a direct bolt into the USA model ford ranger pickups
Electrically, this is a true one wire engine (one wire to fuel cut solenoid)
Power specs are astounding:
277 ft/lbs torque at 1400 rpm
Direct injection turbo diesel with variable vane turbo
Bosch pump
intercooled from factory
2 stage injectors
You can manually turn the fueling up and get 350 ft/lbs quite easily
Add some larger injectors and you're sailing towards 375-400 realistically
