For those curious. The best consumption i've done yet was 11L /100km. Around 35 deg F outside. I'm expecting 10l/100 when the weather heats up. And that is driving 70mph on the highway.

Superb conversion.
Not sure why I did not see this thread before, must be too much time at work and not enough time on ExPo. Very well done. I've been thinking about more power for the 1HZ in recent times...:sombrero:

Yeah, you are wrong about the 105s. The 1HDT is very common in 105s down south, or as you say the 1HD-FTE. A soild axle swap will not make it any wider then it is now, that is if you used the right axle. I would think the ideal axle to use would be the front from the 105 series.

Any ways, cool truck and good swap. All the pictures though are not working, is that just me!?

Not cheap, you don't do this on a budget. But it is pretty much impossible to give even a good estimate until you have bought the donor truck.

Finding a wreck LHD HDJ100 is hard, in fact since i did my truck i've been looking for one and haven't found one in 2 years.

how much did this conversion cost?

You should have done a lap around the neighborhood with the camera pointed at your face. If your smile was half the size of mine then it would have been priceless! Congrats that cruiser is awesome.

Not much whistle at all in that engine and or turbo.

What RPM's is it spooling up at? Sounds to be close to 2,000, aka 1,500 - 1,800.

And man is it just me or is it not idle very smooth?

Keep in mind in the video the microphone was 4 inch away from the turbo.

I can hear the oussshh in the video, but in the cabine it is quiet just like a V8 no whistle. Most people, 98%, dont even notice it is diesel.
I have no boost gauge so i wouldn't know when it comes but probably 1500 rpm, really i dont know
IMO it idles perfectly.

But you can get crazy and remove the exhaust, now you can hear the whistle. In this clip the camera is opposite to exhaust, it would eb louder facing it

Here is a other video done when i received the truck, we hook up the fuel tank and with a good battery fired right up.

I don't understand why you put a diesel in your car? In Belgium we love to drive the petrol landcruisers. All the cruisers here have a diesel engine. It is rare to see a petrol landcruiser in my country. I drive a landcruiser FZJ 80 with the 1FZ-E engine and it drives much better than all the landcruiser HDJ100 that I have driven.

If you drive normale with the HDJ100 it consumes 10-12L, if you pull a trailer 16-18L.
