Q: Best engine upgrade for HJ60 (1 Viewer)

[Volcano cruiser]

I just read through this thread, great score on the turbo and the free 1HDT. Not to be the wet blanket but wasn't there a mention a ways back of some legal restrictions in your country that kept you from swapping in a 1HDT in place of your current 2H? Or was that only if you wanted to buy and import a 1HDT in rather than just found one for free already in country.

Actually you're exactly right! I haven't read through the thread, but as I recall Talos from Iceland voluteered to get a permission from Icelandic toyota. But I thought that it had to be from Danish Toyota. Well I spoke to a guy from the vehicle inspections here, and he said that he didn't care where the permit was from, but by that time I didn't have the deal on the 1HD-FTE any more. So I gave up on it mainly because of that, but also because of the cost and complications involved.

But having stumbled upon one for free makes me revisit the plans!

I have taken almost every bit of wiring out with the engine, gearbox, coolers, intercooler etc. so I might have a chance!
