Shall I swap the 1hdt

[Ahmed Al Kaki]

Just bought a 105 with a swapped 1hz for a 1hdt. Here’s the dilemma. Shall I keep it and intercool it, swap it for a 1hdft, or swap it for a 1fz?

I’m new to diesel so I am still starting to get used to it. I just can’t get over the fumes and sluggish performance on the highway

Is diesel not my thing or shall I stick to it and make the best out of it?

I’m planning to keep it as on offroad rig, but that involves travelling thousands of km till I go overlanding.

And I’ve noticed that it eats diesel at 7km a liter which is way less than expected.

Please sort it out for me

Most of the traffic here is US 100 series owners with the 2UZ V8

Keep us informed as to what you do. We love to see diesel 100s

You know Diesel got more power than gasoline? IF it is doing 7 Km per Liter, then with gasoline, it will do less.

Diesel got more power and torque, and ideal for off roading and overlanding.

Make sure you get good diesel from a reputed station, as many developing countries mix kerosene with diesel. Pure diesel should be colorless and have a very faint odor. Empty your tank to reserve and then fill with 100% diesel from Shell/Total.

Is swapping to a 1hdft worth it as opposed to intercooling the 1hdt?
