found an 84 4x4 that had the turbo badge on the side. the truck was rolled. so I couldn't raise the hood to have a looksee. But the owner said that it was a turbo diesel. Are these a rare find. Or, is this guy pulling my leg?

What kind of numbers do these motors put out

Bazzi · « **Reply #4 on:** Aug 11, 2004, 11:11:28 AM »

116 hp I think but I am not shure.... Bud I am not shure if that was with an intercooler or what ....

kyle_22r · « **Reply #5 on:** Aug 11, 2004, 05:14:13 PM »

no way that's 116hp, the 2L that an '84 would have puts out about 65hp and about the same torque as a 22RE. the 2L-T in '85 trucks(super rare in the states) has slightly better numbers. diesels are all about the torque, not usually much top end power, but efficient and cheap to run

i've seen 1 diesel 4x4 in a parking lot, had a "2.4D" badge on the pillar

parhabs.... It is a long time since I have given this any thought. But my 89 diesel is original with 86 hp if I remember correctly... then I have heard that you can add 30-40% with the turbo and 20-30% with the intercooler. remember that in europe we don´t have as strickt smog laws and we can allow us to take much more hp out of the engnes. My turbo is pressing out 10 psi and I have addet a lot to the oil. It barely passes smog, But I do take the 2,5 pajero and and 2,8 patrol in a street race.

UUU I am talking about diesel pajero and patrols.....

Allso If you want more you can add propane gas.....

yeah they made turbo diesel, there was one for sale close to me but i didn't see it before it was too late, would have bought it without isitation.

The 84 was non-turbo and the 85 had a turbo. This is the only two years the diesel was offered in the Toyo pick up in the US. I bought a new one in 84. It was about even with the 22r in drivability, plus a little more torque. It got 28 mpg.

kyle_22r · « **Reply #11 on:** Aug 12, 2004, 01:39:54 PM »

only years a 4x4 diesel was available actually. i've only seen an '84 4x4, but quite a few '82-83 2wd trucks

roktoy84 · « **Reply #12 on:** Aug 12, 2004, 10:21:34 PM »

84Runner: this thing can be found at a transmission shop here in ST. Joseph Mo.
I couldn't get the hood open, so I couldn't tell if it really was a turbo. But, there was a turbo badge on the side. I also looked at the I.D. tag on the drivers side door jam. It said that it was an 84. Too bad the guy really knows his Toyotas. Seems that he's the only one around here that does. Most of the time, Toyotas are pretty cheap. Are the trannies any different between the deisel and gas Toyotas? The truck is rolled. So I thought that it would be a cool engine swap.

It should have a W56 unless someone changed it. The rest of the drivetrain is exactly like a gasser.

Skinny_Pedal · « **Reply #14 on:** Aug 12, 2004, 10:55:28 PM »

i have yet to c a 4x4 diesal. but every once in awhile ill c a 2wd with the 2.4diesal on the side

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #15 on:** Aug 12, 2004, 10:56:49 PM »

there is a 85 longbed with a sunroof here in town. Its sad the kid hates it because its slow but he wont sell it

Skinny_Pedal · « **Reply #16 on:** Aug 12, 2004, 10:59:03 PM »

i would love a diesal. my 22re is slow to, so might as well get some gas mileage out of the deal!

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #17 on:** Aug 12, 2004, 11:03:03 PM »

Ill let you drive my bucket at tsf. Its very suprising!

Skinny_Pedal · « **Reply #18 on:** Aug 12, 2004, 11:07:44 PM »

looking forward to it! o go kick that kid in the junk. if hes gonna complain about driving such a bad ass truck like that he deserves a kick in the junk

I don´t understand Gasser can someone explain that for me?

Is there something wrong with the w56 or

?

brainlessfool · « **Reply #21 on:** Aug 13, 2004, 06:06:59 AM »

Gasser just means gas powered truck. thats all $Beer Chug\'n$

oki
If you are thinging about adding a t-box. this is basicly the same thing as 22r I bought a addapter plate for that type of engine and bolted it on the w56 (It is stock gearbox don´t remember the type)

This place offers an adapter to mount a VW 1.6 or 1.9 Turbo Diesel to a Toyota 5 speed.

Bazzi · « **Reply #24 on:** Aug 13, 2004, 09:24:34 AM »

and why would you do a silly thing like that when you can buy bouth 2,4l 2,8l and 3,0l toyota diesel engines..... and 4, something......

You should rather look for adapters to put the izusu 3,3 doch engine to an toyota gearbox or t-box

kyle_22r · « **Reply #25 on:** Aug 13, 2004, 10:20:15 AM »

i agree, but the only problem is that VW diesels are actually sold in america so you can buy parts. there hasn't been a toyota diesel stock in a pickup here in 19 years

it'd be a good swap for something like a sami though

Bazzi · « **Reply #26 on:** Aug 13, 2004, 11:22:12 AM »

look into the izuzu they are werry simular to the toyota (the ifs steering box is the same) there is also some wrangle or chevy can´t remember (will find out soon) that is supost to be pretty much bolt on.....

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #27 on:** Aug 13, 2004, 11:34:27 AM »

The chevy 4.3 is a damned near perfrect match for the yota drivetrain and it fits really well.

Bazzi · « **Reply #28 on:** Aug 15, 2004, 03:07:29 PM »

I have heard about grand cherokee diesel engine that is supposet do be a near bolt on...... allso the 2,8 dayhatsu Rocky is a perfect fit... (at least have guys been takin that t-case to bolt on the back of the gearboxes to get a lower crawl)
