Driving clips of the World's first hundred series LandCruiser to be fitted with Toyota's new 4.5 litre 1VD-FTV common rail turbodiesel V8 engine. A full writeup of the conversion is available at www.australian...
I have to say 100/100 well done on the job and great write up. Its well detailed it makes me want to do and yet be scared to do it. I could dream everyday that my 80 has a V8 1VD-FTV, but sadly out here in the Middle East mechanics are big on V8 petrol mostly GM and (hardly any diesel). And to attempt to it my self, I'd have to quit my job, probably my wife will end up leaving me and chances are I end scrapping the project:).
Absolutely beautiful... I miss Australia SO much. The trail and beach section reminded me of the "Orange Bowl" area by Yepoon/Macay outside Rocky in QLD. I'm building my own 1KZ-TE 4Runner/Hilux Surf here in the US, but I'd KILL to have a 1VD powered anything in this bloody country.
not for a 4.5l v8 it isn't and keep in mind that's crank power which means less will end up on the ground due to drivetrain loss but the engine does produce significantly less power than it is safely capable off with a few thousand worth of mods (exhaust/intake/tune)
I would like to put a 1VD into something totally unexpected like a Series 3 Jaugar XJ 12 or an AU Fairlane. Thanks for sharing, it makes a lovely sound.
Yes, the 1VD's starter is in a bad spot from a maintenance perspective. That said, I never had an issue with it in the 105 or in my current 200. I have heard of a few problems though with muddy water ingress. I've not had or heard any issues with 1VD turbos, and I think the jury is out when it comes to 1VD v V9X reliability. The V9X has generally been fitted to vehicles that lead a very easy life, and even the 1VD starter issues are only happening in conditions that very few Navara 550s enter.
Very nice. What the commentators need to realise is this is a vehicle made for Australia. You can drive this anywhere in OZ and be able to get parts and support. If the 200 had a live axle that would be the choice.
Ok so now the test.. 8 years later.. you must have an idea of wether a 1vd is as reliable as the older Toyota motors by now right? I waited 8 long years for this reply! Hahaha jokes i only just found this video mate but yeah its a front runner on conversion options for me! Let me know how it went mate you still have her or moved her on or blew her up or?
The single-turbo 1VD has equal power to the 1HD-FTE, while the twin-turbo 1VD produces 25% more power and 50% more torque than the 1HD. The 1VD benefits more from a chip than the 1HD (180/208 RWHP v 152 RWHP), has a higher redline, a wider torque band, uses ~10% less fuel and produces ~10% lower CO2 emissions. I'm curious by what measure you think the 1HD is a better engine?
Mechanical injectrion, Reliability, No dusting issues, Cheaper to fix the fuel system, can run on shit fuel as opposed to the commonrail , can produce the same amount of power with similar mods. It's a no brainer why it's regarded as the best diesel engine Toyota has ever made.
1HD-FTE is electronic fuel injection, hence the E. Rest of the points may be valid. Maybe you meant 1HD-FT which is not that easy to find considering its limited quantity manufactured.
Sounds absolutely incredible but... for such a big displacement the output seems quite low. I'd especially expect the torque figure to be greater than 430Nm considering that the single turbo 3.0 TDI V6-s from VAG were making around 550Nm at 2000rpm already back in 2007.
This is also a 2007 engine, and is certainly lazy compared to the Euro CRDs. Although it is designed for a different vehicle/market, with a focus on low RPM torque compared to the higher revving Euro diesels for passenger cars.
You do have to respect them with the power and toque of the motor. I would get one of these motors and put it into a sterndrive boat. it's a 230 hp motor about 157 kw and that isn't mod chipped. I would like to mod chip my fathers V8 turbo diesel.
The Nissan-Renault V9X in the Navara is a lovely motor. I suspect it would be an extremely difficult transplant into the 'Cruiser from an electrics perspective, not to mention expensive. It's also not available in a full-size wagon (such as the Patrol) and I don't want an uncomfortable, unergonomic leaf-sprung ute. Yes, you could chip/exhaust the V9X for more pwr/torque. But then you could do the same to the TT 1VD and put it well back on top. (V9X:198kW/635Nm / 1VD-FTV TT: 228kW/780Nm)
Not too much. Most of the items were added over several years. The engine conversion itself was DIY (se the link in the video description), and the engine was cheap as it cam from a wreck.
The 1hd-fte is not a bad motor, but the 1VD is better in essentially every way. The only downside is the degree of difficulty. The Duramax is also a good motor, but a very bad choice for a vehicle travelling to outback Australia due to non-existant parts availability. It's also considerably heavier, would be more difficult to install, and I believe require a different gearbox/transfer case.
Mate are you serious 😂😂😂 the 1VD is better in every way than a 1HD-FTE?? Bhahahaha this is hand down the most ludicrous comment on planet earth. Everyone knows the 1VD V8’s are the worst engine they ever put in a cruiser 😂 Please explain exactly why they are better?
+Dilendra De Silva Sorry, I can't because it's since been sold! I never had any problems with it, but needed to combine two cars, so ended up with a LandCruiser 200 Twin Turbo. Read about it here: www.project200.com.au
+Australian Images That's too bad. Well, I've gone through the whole process of what you had done to get this engine conversion done. Might be doing this to our 100 series. Anyway thanks!
Sporty 40 engineer stopped the widening of the chassis, so it's going into an 80 series chassis with e 40 series body on top with 4 doors in it. Quad cab thing like a normal wagon.
Hi sir I have Toyota 100 series TD I want to put same engine which u put in your 100 series can u tell what changes u did with your 100 series and same engine gear box ?
wats your mpg like ive a 90 series 3 litre decent power in it shes very thirsty but the cruisers are the only job i learnt the hard way chopin and changing jeeps
When you put the 1vd into the 105 series Land Cruiser did you have to get custom engine mounts for the 1vd so the engine could fit on the 105 series chassis, because I want to fit a 2UZ-FE on a 105 series chassis and apparently I need 2UZ-FE engine mounts for that.
@@lockyrichardson7195 I'm really not the person to ask, as I don't know what any adaptor for that engine would look like. A bolt-on wasn't suitable for the 1VD. You will need an engineer's certificate for the conversion anyway, so I'd suggest finding a certified vehicle engineer in your state that you'll use for the approval, and speak to him about what he'd like to see.
Don't want to sound rude at all, but why wouldn't you just buy a 200 series or are they no good? The cost to do this would've blown out to more than a new base model 200 by thousands (if you were honest and added everything like labor, cost of mods, engineer report, time of the road etc, etc)? Again I DO NOT want to sound negative.
I actually do have a 200-series now (this vehicle has since been sold). But at the time, I was doing more heavy 4WD work and wanted a manual transmission and live front suspension, neither of which were on a 200. As for cost... The cheapest diesel 200 was $85,000 at the time, and the conversion (sans my labor cost) only cost maybe $15000 net, and added $10,000 to the value when I sold the car, so still much cheaper than a 200. All that aside, I enjoyed doing it!
acalthu I didn't want a VDJ70. It would have been a backward step from the converted 105. Same engine/gearbox as I already had, less room inside, lower safety, less comfortable, old-style interior and leaf spring rear suspension.
dunhillsupramk3 Privately import the motor from Australia. You would be sup prised what Australians can get when we want to. If you import these motors to the USA you would be sitting on a gold mine when doing an engine swap and even installing the landcruser Turbo diesel V8's into ski boats. Even swapping the landcruser 4.7 litre V8 Gasoline engines and installing them into boats.
Fuck yeah very smick, well done. yes toyotas motors seem heavily de-rated in power and torque. Thats why they will all still be going in 20 years time! Then you have the narvara 550 and rangers ect that are a very stressed motor, and you would probably be luck too see one of them still running around in 20yrs plus.
87oldy decent tune, they come from the factory retarded to 70% at most of the natural amounts of growl power. (Why Toyota’s last a half million to a million k’s )
Look at importing a Toyota Turbo diesel V8 motor from Australia. If i lived in the USA i would import a V8 Turbo Diesel Land Cruser from Australia and convert it to left hand drive or import the motor to do a engine swap with a V8 D-4D Twin Turbo diesel motor from Australia with a USA model and get a Landcruser diesel rev metre with the motor. The V8 D-4D redlines at 4600 rpm. In a automatic the V8 turbo diesel doesn't need to rev past 2500 rpm most of the time. It will drive at 160km/h at 3000 rpm without a problem. My father had his up to 160 km/h. Land Cruisers in Australia have long range fuel tanks up to 200 litres of fuel.
I agree, worked at a Toyota dealership for 3 months, heaps of issues, 1HD-FTE is a lot better, nothing beats a straight 6. the V8 had injector issues timing issues fuel line, oil leaks. sludge in the engine, that wasn't all on one engine either but multiple
Fishcake No. There's no room between the manifold and the chassis, plus the turbo(s) are electronically controlled by the ECU on the 1VD-FTV, so a second turbo would require the ECU to be reprogrammed, which (to my knowledge) is not yet available.
If you really try for economy, you could get 9.5L/100km on highway-type driving. Average it used 11L/100km, and towing a camper-trailer around Tasmania it used 14.5L/100km.
landcruiserhdj81v That seems remarkably low. Most people I know who have or had HDJ80s were getting more like 14L/100km on average. Although that was a similar setup to the 105 (i.e. lifted, 33" tyres, lots of heavy accessories). All that substantially adds to fuel consumption.
Australian Images thats the fuel for the HZJ80 i have. with trailer and landcruiser 100 on it i sit on average 18L/100km highway drive. 90-100km/u. I go never over 2000 RPM. the HDj81V is auto gear and swith next gear at 1800RPM or 2000 If i pull harder.

Will's just saying that the engine isn't that great and I agree. the starter motor is in the wrong place & the turbo cracks. Plus the diesels are all about torque, there isn't much of that either. A Nissan narvara 550's engine would out perform and cost less to run with better reliability than Toyota's V8. Not to mention registration. if you got the twin turbo then you can just put a module in the 550's engine with a exhaust system and get a larger amount of torque again then the twin turbo :)
The engine is out of a 70-series (single turbo version). The 200's twin turbo wouldn't fit in a 105 chassis.... What was the point? At the time of the conversion (8 years ago), I wanted a large wagon with a modern engine, a live front axle and a manual transmission. So a 200 series didn't really fit the bill. I've since moved on to a 200 though!
Umm dude, people with 1VD 200's are easily getting 1000-1200NM with a chip and exhaust. Also read up on torque curves, Toyota diesels have nice smooth curves, with plenty down low. Whereas nissans peak high but lack down low.
