I'm relatively new to LC's and found a 1994 Japanese imported one in the states that I was interested in. The listing says "4.5L inline-6 diesel engine" which confused me because I thought the diesel was a 4.2L and the 4.5 inline-6 was the 1FZ-FE in the gas/petrol versions. Then later on in the listing it says "4.5L 1FZ-F engine – Straight-six diesel power" which makes no sense. The VIN starts with the "HZJ81" which is the NA diesel I thought and then the photos of the engine bay (attached here) looks like 1HD-T in my opinion. I need some opinions on what it going on in terms of the power train in this thing. Thanks yall!!!

Aftermarket turbo on 1hz. Intake is blank and doesn't have turbo stamped on it.
 
Sorry I could be wrong about the stamping part.
