Hi,
I have a 1984 HJ 60 with a non-turbo H2 engine with 5-speed. My general usage is small camping trips, and it is about 3 tons. I changed the gears with 4.11 and for the 33" tire. Injectors are new, the radiator is new, and every 5 km, I changed the oil, oil filter, and others bits and things.
My HJ60 is sloooooooow. I don't know why. On the highway on the flat, it barely reaches 100-110 km/h at 2300 rpm with EGT 400-450C. If there is a little bit of a hill, it slows to 80km/h, and EGT is starting to climb. When I climb a hill with 10% in 5km, EGT is skyrocketed to 600C at 80km/h at 4th. I cannot hold in there and dropping down to the 3rd and climbing the hill with 40-50km/h.
I am tired of this, and I am planning to swap the old 2H engine. I know many of you install a turbo to the 2H, but heat and other issues probably goest me after fitting the turbo.
Many engine swaps options exist like Cummins 6BT, 4BT, Isuzu 4BD1T, Mercedes OM606, or maybe another Toyota Engine. However, the decision process is making me nervous.
I need an engine, easy to swap, reliable, and powerful for long journeys. I know I have to build an adapter for the current transmission, and I have to figure out gauge and other things and convert the new engine to 24v.
Cummins 6BT is a beautiful engine. It is an I6 (and I like I6 engines), it has plenty of torque. However, it is heavy, and fitting it in the 60 is a task.
4BT or 4BD1T is a great engine, especially 4BD1T, which is a common engine and finds the parts easy. But I don't know how smooth and powerful it is. Then, there is OM606. It is I6 and an expensive engine. Finding parts can be challenging.
I need your opinions and helps.
Thanks in advance for everything.
