Nice build Tj... Jhh machined my 4m40t back in the day, I did pretty much the same type of build on it, shafted the balance shafts and balanced the motor, ported the head and turbo also, then added water meth injection..... (don't forget that ;)
In the same boat as you Macca. Been a sparky for years, working for my self, but have always loved engines. Been playing with them since I was 12 and still would love to get into them a lot more than I do now. Keen to see how the 3litre goes for you. Only thing I don’t like is that the fuel lines are under the rocker cover. Don’t know you have a leak until the engine runs away from too much diesel leaked into the oil. But not a common issue.
Ah bloody oath! I definitely will man up one day and have a crack! They interest me so much! And the fealing of making sweet horse power after would be so rewarding!
love the work as always i wanted to go 1kd with my one but couldn't find any conversion info into them so went with the 1kzte 3 liter love all the info u guys are chucking in as it all helps legends see u in wa some time with the old rigs boys be sick
Has this car got a black non standard interior? I built a surf/hilux over 15 yrs ago using a surf chassis, hilux single cab cab, and extra cab tray and I painted it black. I was wondering if this was it.
Ah the mighty 1KD, would have loved to see a 1UZ in it but completely agree that the 1KD is the best way to go, especially tickled up by the Kaizen Fab boys! Nice work triggering the 4J fan boys 😂 Great episode fellas!!
Awesome episode guys, you guys opened up my knowledge to the legends at kaizen fab, I'm about to order full rebuild kit and turbo upgrade from Nick. Nice 1 legends
Hi greg, you can however you will need a tune afterwards. An engine of that much use i would be hesitant to start doing performance mods if you wanted to keap going to that 500xxx kms mark!
Interesting ep, looking forward to the install and seeing what you guys do.... but also, the camera is so choppy and shakey, making those really interesting parts hard to watch. But cool work!
Good choice! You could highly modify it, however a 1KZ rear sump is the easier option and also needs a trim for maximum up travel! The boys will have all this available as a conversion once tjs is finished to!
A 1KZ would be more straightforward to swap (and cheaper to maintain due to being an indirect injection), given that Surfs already featured the 1KZ OEM in the 92-95 models, but the better power and fuel economy of the D4D 1KD is nice too.
haha unfortunately we are under the pump with editing! Tj defs gets his hands dirty when he can but unfortunately time is a killer when it comes to weekly episodes!
Great work team, the 1KD is great we've had a couple. Regularly serviced & looked after you'll get a zillion Kms out of it. We had 2 x 1KZ (different vehicles), not as refined & a bit thirstier, got nearly 1M Kms out of one. Servicing is everything imho. Thanks as always legends the vid quality is epic as per usual. 🤌🙏✌️
Gee I wish I knew this before I sold my pride and joy 92 hilux due to it using more fuel whilst loosing power after 15 years of reliability, I still miss the old girl I had owned 😢 since new, the only thing that confused me you say it is a 1992 but the 92 model was the second year of the 2.8 diesels
Ah bugger! Yes its actually a 92 model toyota surf that has been cut down into a ute! I beleive this is why it has a 2.4 2lte as its a surf not a ln106!
Yeah it’s totally working, so nice to watch something start and finish in the same episode. Understand it would take so much longer to film and edit but it is definitely better!
I believe why the 2.4engine over heat is bcus the timing is to Advanced u can hear it knock quite lout reduce the timing the car will stay cooler and have more power
You can tell a wizard on the tools by talking marketing to him. If he gets angry, he you're guy 😂
😂 spot on hey
😂😂😂
🤣
Only 4x4 channel I’m interested in watching now, keep em coming 👌
Thanks my dude 🙌
Was so happy when yous deciding to put a 1KD into the lux, favourite video on TH-cam learnt to much off this
Thanks Ryan ! 🙌
My favourite 4wd TH-cam channel👍 Can’t wait for the 60 build😮💨 Keep up the great work🤙
Thanks mate ! Yep plenty more coming in hot 🔥
I called it, so keen to see this conversion unfold. Will be wicked when it’s finished
Yes boys, here for it! Hilux will be so good with a 1KD.
Richo VS the 1kd 😜
Cheers richoo!! p.s. ready to get chopped again haha
@@macpreston Ready for ya big boy 🤣
😂 talk to the head bolts right, best part . Iv never enjoyed a rebuild video so much before
😂 don’t want those sneaky buggers slacking off 😅
Waaaay beyond my very limited mechanical skill but so damn fascinating to watch an engin build. Great content Boys!!!
Nice build Tj... Jhh machined my 4m40t back in the day, I did pretty much the same type of build on it, shafted the balance shafts and balanced the motor, ported the head and turbo also, then added water meth injection..... (don't forget that ;)
Haha sounds spicy ! Yeah can’t wait to take this thing for a strap 🤩
This is gunna be so killer!!
I kinda love that it’s staying Toyota and pre dpf!
Cant wait for the next one! Boys are on
Wicked ep boys was great to see all the knowledge that TJ was taking in 👀 10 outta 10 to the Kaizen boys was defiantly interesting to watch.👍👍👍👍

Now I want another LN106. Mine was a great 4x4, but just so slow. Problem solved. Great work to everyone involved.
Yeah this will certainly solve that problem! Haha thanks mate 🙌

Thanks mate ! Yeah can’t wait to get back to that side of the country , soon 💪
Great content fellas! Nick is a bloody wizard! 👌👌👌
Sure is ! thanks Shannon !
Great episode boys…. love the engine rebuild content…. very satisfying.
Thanks mate ! Yeah can’t wait to get it back in the road 💪
Hell yeah keen to see this rip with a 1kd!
Loving the builds each of you do! this build is super unique Tj and mac with the K truck loving it all boys
Thanks ! Yeah can’t wait to get it out and use it 🤩
The 1kd is an awesome engine, mines just hit 512,000ks so it’ll probably get the kaizen rebuild treatment soon 🤙
😂 be rude not to throw a few extras on ey 😝
How he managed to keep a straight face with you two helping is unbelievable. We were both laughing at your engine building hints .
😂 lucky he is a wizard and we didn’t distract him too much haha
Only 4x4 channel I’m interested in watching now)
Oh thanks mate 🙌
Hell yeah keen for the next vid !! So much inspiration
More to come!🙌
Been waiting all day for this!
Hahaha well here we go 🤩
Awesome episode guys!
Thanks Aaron !
Has this car got a black non standard interior?
I built a surf/hilux over 15 yrs ago using a surf chassis, hilux single cab cab, and extra cab tray and I painted it black. I was wondering if this was it.
Na this is a chopped surf cab 👍
Ah the mighty 1KD, would have loved to see a 1UZ in it but completely agree that the 1KD is the best way to go, especially tickled up by the Kaizen Fab boys!
Nice work triggering the 4J fan boys 😂
Great episode fellas!!
Yeah and I really wanted diesel again as well as light weight , pretty happy with the decision!
Haha gotta love a bit of banter between the rival engine!
@@macpreston ha ha, exactly mate 😂
Awesome episode guys, you guys opened up my knowledge to the legends at kaizen fab, I'm about to order full rebuild kit and turbo upgrade from Nick. Nice 1 legends
Ahh that’s awesome Jason ! 🤩
l lOVE THIS CHANNEL! You guys are Legends much love and support from the Kiwi lads
Thanks my dudes 🙌
Up the brothers from over the ditch 💪🏼💪🏼
When is part 2 coming out since I want to do a 1-KD swap to my hilux surf from a 2LT just like you
Bloody wow
How cool is that clear timing case 👍🏽
Bloody awesome guys, love the detailed explanations, I’m learning cool stuff. Much appreciated, more videos like this 🙂
Cheers mate! Will do our best!
1KD just makes sense. Its like an OEM upgrade!!
I know right 🤩
Couldn’t agree more!
Crazy that stock toyota main cap studs are as strong as ARP studs 😮
Just goes to show why toyota is what it is
Yeah Nick certainly knows his stuff hey!
Hell yeah 👍 looking forward to the next episode!
Are you going to do a episode of the old engine pull down? Would be keen to see the damage of it
Uncle pooly probably will 😎😜
Ripper episode guys. Had me in stitches. Cant wait for the next ep.
Wicked episode fellas. Looking forward to the 12ht going into the 60
haha I have something from the era for it but its not a 12HT
@@macpreston 15bfte? Please dont be a td42 🤢
@@macpreston Better be a td42 😩
FYI, the material the bearings are made from is called Babbitt! It’s a mixture of a few different soft metals
Ahhh yeah I learnt so much that day so interesting!
Always important to measure the thrust on the crankshaft. 😁😆
Always 🤣
the macs thrust crank is what made me smash the like button, 1 thou, yeah its a little cold haha thanks for the laughs fellas.
😂 thanks for thrusting the like button
Love it. Great build. Gives me inspo for my ln106 build.
Awesome 🙌 thanks mate
No joke i saw this coming!!!
Haha it’s the obvious choice yeah !
Hi MAC, can you increase the injectors size of your standard 1-KD engine? engine got 367k with original factory injectors, never replaced yet.
Hi greg, you can however you will need a tune afterwards. An engine of that much use i would be hesitant to start doing performance mods if you wanted to keap going to that 500xxx kms mark!
Great episode guys & the dad jokes just get better & better 😂😂😂
Haha almost 2 years into dad life and they are starting to get thicker 🤣
I was expecting that. You should do it on the lc60 as well.
Not a bad idea 🤩
When you coming WA ways, plenty of fun to be had here
Maaaate can not wait to get back , just such a mission 😅
Working on it!! Once we got a few cars on the road we’ll send a couple over I recon!
The clear timing cover is a great idea, don't have to rip the motor apart to check the timing belt lol
😅 pretty cool however probably gonna get full of dust haha
You guys should into old TDI engines. They are very similar to a small Cummins with lots of torque.
Interesting ep, looking forward to the install and seeing what you guys do.... but also, the camera is so choppy and shakey, making those really interesting parts hard to watch. But cool work!
Yeah the gimbals broken at the moment sorry ! Thanks mate 🙌
Nice one! Beat me to it in my 4Runner. Standard sump/ pickup work for solid axle?
Good choice! You could highly modify it, however a 1KZ rear sump is the easier option and also needs a trim for maximum up travel! The boys will have all this available as a conversion once tjs is finished to!
The neighbours must love you two 😅
😂 yeah they are used to the shenanigans I think
Is it Nick and Mitch? From Kaizen-Fab? Those boys are amazing!
Sure is 😎
A 1KZ would be more straightforward to swap (and cheaper to maintain due to being an indirect injection), given that Surfs already featured the 1KZ OEM in the 92-95 models, but the better power and fuel economy of the D4D 1KD is nice too.
Yeah it’s certainly going to be a step up power wise 💪
1kz are crap so kd is the go
@@darcykeddell4930 The 2LTE is far worse. Had success with both the kz and kd, but never with that 2.4L. Gutless and always ends up overheating.
@@mikex4941 that is a fair point, you are right a kz is a fair upgrade from a 2lte
Love your work boys! 🤟
Thanks mate !
I remember when I builded my first 1kd still running in my Prado 😂
This is sick! Does the old hilux gearbox bolt up to new engine/bellhousing?
Mine was an auto with the A340 so yep, bolts directly up no mods needed 💪
Is everything balanced and all that good stuff? Its not a ls with a turbo though. Lol
So, you are telling me that the 2L block and the 1KD block has the same bolt pattern or do you need a 1KD specific bell housing?
what do youz think of the 1kz-te? got one in my 02 Lux... any cheap power mods recommended?
Not familiar with it but I might see what Nick reckons
If i was having this many laughs while folding my laundry id muck it up 😂 so props to him for being able to concentrate
😅 we were definitely not speeding up the process 😂 lucky Nick is a wizard !
Haha I definitely tried to put him off his game but he’s to good 😂
Where did you get transparent timing belt cover?
The comedy on this was at a all time high 😂
😎
Good to see TJ helping out pulling out his motor......😅
😅 someone’s gotta edit the video
haha unfortunately we are under the pump with editing! Tj defs gets his hands dirty when he can but unfortunately time is a killer when it comes to weekly episodes!
@@macpreston all good mate. You guys are a great team. I look forward to all your videos
Really bearing all in this one boys
Thanks ! Yeah gonna be fun to wheel !!
Love this
Love the humor
What would be a rough price of this build
Hey guys, is this still happening? Been waiting a while for the followup vid, cheers
Today’s the day !!
Hit like before i even started watching. It's also in the Prado.
Indeed ! Thanks legend 💪🙌
It's probably the most coolest Ln106 out at the moment. Is there an update coming?
Yep
Just taking longer than expected
But not to far off 😎
Stoked to see TJ actually have horsepower 😂 KDN106 FTW
Yeah going to be wild hey 😅
U guys should check out 15BT 4.2cc
Def gotta map a hardcut limiter yuhh
Hahaha 😂 I’ll be in the club then ! 😅
Indeed haha😂 show the 4j's how its done right😂😂
Does the standard LN box mate up to a 1kd?
It is a surf box (A340 auto) and requires a bell housing change (bolt on) Im unsure about the manuals would be a question for kaizenfab!
I read that as 1-HD. Would have been a great conversion!
Great engine mod for the real lux's with solid diffs the best 👍
I know right ! 🙌
Great work team, the 1KD is great we've had a couple. Regularly serviced & looked after you'll get a zillion Kms out of it. We had 2 x 1KZ (different vehicles), not as refined & a bit thirstier, got nearly 1M Kms out of one. Servicing is everything imho. Thanks as always legends the vid quality is epic as per usual. 🤌🙏✌️
Thanks for the tips! Yeah going to be a really good vehicle with this engine I reckon ! Can not wait to get it out and about 🤩
i knew it!!! fkn love this build
Can’t wait to get it back on the road 💪
Social awkwardness came first then the engineer then the engine.
Love a good engine build vid. Definitely going to be a beast of a slux.
Haha 😅 yeah can’t wait to give it a run !
Is it a 1Kd with mechanical injection pump?
Gee I wish I knew this before I sold my pride and joy 92 hilux due to it using more fuel whilst loosing power after 15 years of reliability, I still miss the old girl I had owned 😢 since new, the only thing that confused me you say it is a 1992 but the 92 model was the second year of the 2.8 diesels
Ah bugger! Yes its actually a 92 model toyota surf that has been cut down into a ute! I beleive this is why it has a 2.4 2lte as its a surf not a ln106!
foath boys learnt more from this ep than my uni lectures haha
Haha 😅 awesome 🤩
Perfect timing 👌
Perfecto🤩
should slap a f55 turbo on it they sound sick
They sure do 😎💪
Man knows his stuff!
what size are the tyres mate?
33s on it here 😎
These 30 minute videos are the shit. So much better than 3 10 minute videos with not much going on
Thanks mate yeah trying to make the episodes interesting!
Yeah it’s totally working, so nice to watch something start and finish in the same episode. Understand it would take so much longer to film and edit but it is definitely better!
big saucy 1-kd. a rather informative episode, the path to enlightenment appears illuminated...
MUCH APPRECIATED FELLAS
Haha 😜 thanks ! 🙌
😮need that on a shirt, big aussie boy
1kd will send 🔥🔥🤙🤙
I reckon 😅 can’t wait haha
I believe why the 2.4engine over heat is bcus the timing is to Advanced u can hear it knock quite lout reduce the timing the car will stay cooler and have more power
how about if 3L engine to 4jj1 engine?
Guys can't wait for old school meets new school 😁
Killing it 👌🏻
Been missing you guys lol
Should've done a 1uz 😁
Haha na wanted to be a little different however certainly a great option !
What kind of wheels and tires spec donyou have? Thank you
KMC Grenade 17s -38 🙌
Isn’t it a ln130?
Yep originally it was , you’re dead right !
Now’s it’s a frankinstine Ute I call it all sorts of things 😅
Imagine a 2021 1-GD Swap in those D:
Luxys gonna party now how good
I know right 😅 can’t wait to get it on the road 🤩
Fully sick bro
1992 was a great year for toyota and everything else that was made in 92
I agree
2LT to 1KD yoooooooooooo what a Jump
