    The 105 diesels (no factory turbo) are gutless but will run forever. if you put an aftermarket turbo on it you'll get some power but possibly shorten its life.

    You could join lcool and do some searches on there if you want more info.

    The landcruisers with no factory turbo, I was under the impression that they are a different engine to the turbo ones (makes sense, the turbo ones need to be stronger). I wouldn’t expect that they would take a turbo as well as the stock ones. But I might be wrong, can anyone provide reference to a precedence of non turbo diesels being turbo'd?

    I did it to an '89 4.2 non turbo GQ in '90 and its still going fine with 5000 km oil and filter changes and only 7lbs of boost but of course this is a Patrol I'm talking about.

    Go for a lot more boost and you could probably shorten the life of a Toyota and maybe even a Nissan!

    Cheers

    You can google any of this information. In brief. Companies like Safari, ATXand DTS etc make aftermarket turbo systems. My 1988 Cruiser ute has had a Safari T3 turbo system fitted for years now. The main difference in the non turbo diesel engines and the factory turbo diesel is that the non turbo usually has indirect injection with pre cups in the head. The factory turbo motors feature direct injection and different shaped pistons. cheers

    I am not too sure there is any difference in a turbo or non turbo Toyota engine (except for the turbo of course) but I could very well be wrong, I know the early 80 series had big end bearing drama, (but not all of them) and it was very common in the turbo version, so, who knows for sure, I have a friend who is a Toyota spare parts guru and I will ask him to do a quick part number check on the pistons for turbo and non turbo motors.

    I have a 2000 105 series with a DTS aftermarket Turbo. I put the turbo on from new and now have 300 000 kms still going great and the live axle front is great compared to IFS off road.

    yep, different engine and more importantly different gearbox. a turbo apparently will shorten the life of both with the extra torque.

    we've got a hzj105 "standard" and love it, it's as slow as a wet week but so basic it's back to the dark ages. our's is a 2005 model and does have a body computer though which is a little bit fancy, but as for the rest of it, it's been made to be operated and maintained by imbeciles like myself. there's heaps around with the credit crunch causing mining and infrastructure to go slow, expect to pay between $20k and $30k for a "standard" 105 series with vinyl everything, this is good buying for a late model rig with a "realistic" towing capacity.

    Cheers , The 1HZ is basic indirect injection with precups
    The 1HDT has different pistons, direct injected head[no precups with direct] double spring injectors etc. the "D" stands for direct injection T stands for Turbo
    The 1HDFT direct injection "four valves per cylinder" +turbo etc
    The 1HDFTE as above with electronic fuel injector, pump control etc
    The petrol engines in the 80 were the 3F and the 1FZFE
