Thanks mate, a good, powerful, fuel efficient diesel option for the 80 will be great! Love the batta swapped vehicles, but not the best for towing regularly :)
I have 4JK1 2,5L with 184 Horsepower with no problems(manual) if i had 4JJ1 i would get extra 16horsepower i think that generation goes like this Old school -> Modern diesel 4JA1 --> 4JK1 4JH1 --> 4JJ1
@@richardholten8847 its a bit more complicated then that the 4j is definetly more reliable stock and i would say you run into less issues when modifying a 4j over a 1kd but with a 1kd you can fix the issues much easier, you can bulletproof a 1kd easier then you can bulletproof a 4j. You can go spend 15k on a 4j and still have a the front maincap stretch and break your crank to fix it you need to machine the block which is a big expense and get custom maincaps with deeper studs and preferably doweled into the block a 1kd on the other hand just requires modified pistons but when it comes to making power the 4j shits all over the 1kd with its slow HP fuel pump and poor flowing head, the 4j is a much better designed engine that is let down with average castings and issues with weak maincaps and shallow studs
Due to popularity in video's such as this, won't be long before 4JJ's are just as expensive as 1HDt's, when the wreckers cotton on to another rip-off potential.
Then is too many of them for that to ever happen theres probably 30 4jj1s for every single 1hd fte still kicking about, i could blow up mine tommorow and by 3 days have a new complete motor for $3k
@@TheEverydayExplorerAUS what good bits you planning? Ive snapped 2 x mrx cranks aswell as standard ones. Even the built motors with billet main caps and new rosso harmonic balancers still blow to bits. Im back to an unopened engine from wreckers and f44 turbo at 240hp and its lasted 10 000kms so far.
@@caseychristmas1847 Ross balancer and the new crank girdle from Modified Explorer. I feel the girdle will make the most difference, as the main caps won't be able to twist or walk on the crank, causing the stress point. So many factors so 🤞🤞
If you want power turbo an fz If you want a good mix with good economy, get an 80 series with a 1hdft If you have a 1HZ slap a turbo on it If you insist on having a 4-cylinder Land Cruiser, buy a Patrol zd30
I had a turbo 1HZ, soooo slow! Ft 80s are ridiculously expensive and hard to find in good condition. Whats the difference between 4 cylinder patrol and cruiser? I'll keep my 80 series any day ;)
Love the 4j idea can’t wait to see it finished
I’ve just finished a Barra swap in my 80 it’s ok on fuel I do agree it uses to much

Just did a trip Melbourne to Mount Gambier with a swan used 19.5 L per 100 ok I guess for what it is

It's all about the platform, fully built 4j is pushing 1400hp in Thailand, proven platform for horsepower
Why not a 1kd ?
I can get Isuzu parts much easier, plus the 4J is awesome!
Plus 4j is more reliable

Better get on the band wagon early then and do a 4J swap ;)

mazda 3 are the best engines
Something tells me it wouldn't suit my engine swap..... :P
M57?
@@professor_thunder nope, 4J mate, it's going to be good!
There a great engine until you run power then you have crank breakages,main caps breaking and block damage. Im on my 4th engine .
Yeah mate, very common, especially on a manual 4jj1. Glad I'm installing all the good bits to fix that, stay tuned ;)

Best of luck with it mate, hopefully the engine last longer then mine did.
@@caseychristmas1847 out of curiosity, is yours manual?
4D56, most durable and longlasting engine
Thats the mits triton engine?
