Very interesting... Hmmm. what if someone turbo this thing :hhmm:

I'm gonna guess that the part of the spec sheet that says "Turbocharged and Intercooled" means someone already has...:flipoff2:
 
This specific engine isn't on this list but here's a spec list with dimensions and weight.
Diesel Engines | Products | HINO GLOBAL

A J05E-Ti has a dry weight of over 1,100 pounds, I wouldn't expect the J05D to be all that much lighter.
 
I just found a Hino 145 in Sacramento that was somewhat crushed (frankly it looks like it had a hard landing, all the suspension is crushed and wheels dented on the bottom) which is really tempting considering how cheap a wreck like that will be, but at 42" tall you'll probably be needing at least a 6" body lift, or step down the bump stops in addition to a smaller body lift.
 
Good luck with that. When I was lurking for options of swap I have looked at N and J series engines after talking to several shops dealing with these engine, I quit the idea of Hino. ECU is similar to Toyota's gear box and engine, the dash is literally part of the ECU you need to integrate it into your TLC. And many other problems of modern Common-Rail designated manufacturer engine. It takes them a lot of effort to make them working separately from their body.
 
Yeah that is why the one I really want is the Isuzu 4HE1 that astr did. I could make a TCU pretty easily with an arduino but a common rail diesel definitely wont be easy (was just researching that and found this Building a homebrew diesel ECU).

Right now if I can find ANY diesel that doesn't need computers to run (can use an arduino to start/warmup mode/cruise control/etc, but I don't want it shutting down if the arduino fails), making a bellhousing from 1/4" steel plate (3/8" or 1/2" for the faces) would be pretty easy to do, but the torque converter would have to be able to attach to the engine (haven't been able to see how the engine connects to the torque converter, or if that would be easy to fab up)
 
Go with W series of Hino - all mechanical SAE#3 tail. Simple as rock. Fuel and air, you good to go. I have seen it in Coaster, runs way quieter that any Isuzu or Cummins. Decent torque good RPMs for diesel engine(max 3200), direct injection.
 
New engines are lighter, we have all kinds of halfcuts coming from Japan. Weighing my swap I have looked at many engines. Mercedes Atego 4.2, 4.0 mechanical, Isuzu all kinds. Mitsubishi, Nissan and etc. Commuter's engines up to 7 tons especially modern can easily compete with old TLCs engine. Usually ranges from 370ish to 480ish kgs all buttoned up. So it is not bad in general. Especially the torque they give you would not be worried about extra ton on your truck. We are not talking little kgs.

what engines are in those? need something less than 36" at least (if the oil sump is far enough back) but that's pushing it (getting a 2" lift but would like to avoid lowering bumpstops)

Most of them fit, or fit with minimal mods. They are not for one dedicated vehicle they have have different sumps and oil pick configurations. You do not need bump stops.

They still make them for counties with low environment restrictions

Turbo version puts out 451 NMs@1700 RPMs it just perfect for 80 and compete with electronic 1HD-FTE.

can you provide a link to a wikipedia page or their website? google is only giving me the GMC W series trucks built by Isuzu (cause I've only been searching Isuzu and mitsubishi so my cookies/tracking on google search is only giving me that)
 
That looks like an awesome engine, especially being Toyota made, but unfortunately was not available in the US at all except a marinized version for a yacht company Bayliner 32xx.com. (the truck engine is available in Canada, but I doubt I could get it to pass smog here because it is equipment based, not performance based-the donor truck would have to be from California)
 
Not to go off topic. Just my thoughts

I went with Mercedes CRD engine as I needed higher speeds. It is on progress now. I am sure you had W210/W211s CDIs under sale in California. The problem is with this engine to find a good Mercedes technician who knows their ECUs.

OM 613 3.2 CDI swap into 80FZJ

I did researches for years, did swap of Nissan diesel engine into Daihatsu. I was looking for clean reliable swap. Now days it is no problem to hook the car into the computer and do troubleshooting. Watched closely couple of my friends who had CDIs - they never had problems with engine neither ECU - mostly mechanical issues with transmission and common problems when things get old and brake.

So in eyes of the Mercedes owners they are very reliable, powerful engines.

Hino engines are good, no doubt about. The problem with ECUs (no one even tried to trick with them) and spare parts even in Central Asia where 9 trucks out of 10 are Japanese made. Parts are expensive, you need to order them. And so on and on.
