Don't expect the diesel to make your truck feel more powerful than it is now. The only Toyota diesel I would consider swapping is the 1KD-FTV, but that is more expensive than the rest of the Toyota diesels to choose from. You are better off swapping in a 5VZFE. It is more readily available and will actually feel more powerful when you step on the gas. The motor mounts are already set up if your truck originally had a 3VZE too. You can't really say that you are going to save money on fuel with a diesel either when you look at the cost of the overall swap. It will take some time to actually break even with fuel costs.

I live in Bend Oregon and talked to the guy personally. He quoted me $17k to do the install and he had the half-cut sitting right there.

(i know I'm responding to a 3 year old post, but I figured it's relevant since I've spoken to the guy face to face recently)

I think that would be super cool to do a diesel swap but have no idea how to do it. =/

4bt with an NV transmission
1KZ-T
1KZ-TE

Not ranked in order, I would prefer a 1KZ-TE but that is an expensive swap. 4bt would be a whole lotta fun too.

Forget diesel if you're looking for HP and go with a newer Toyota V-6.

find Bad Vision on this forum and his Jetta Diesel swap.
He also has about 12 youtube videos of the project.
My son is almost done with a 1UZFE swap and it goes quite nicely and not too expensive if you do your own work. Just takes a bit of time to do any project like this.

I think the diesel option is a valid option. I am researching it for my '89 vslow and may go with the toy 3.0 diesel as it fits my motor mounts and bell housing. (apparently not the 22)


I have more questions than answers thus far. I was going to go 3.4 and still might but would rather have the diesel. I get 15-19 mpg out of the vslow and the math says it would be about 60-80k miles to pay for the swap if I do it myself.


The increase in value of the rig would cover the cost as well. A half cut right now is about $4k.

1kz-t Runs forever if you will take care of it With cooling and oilshifts,easy timingbelt replacement aswell every 100k. and probably port and make the exhaust flows a little better than the stock to make the head safer. its a good work and daily machine self with only 125hp and 287Nm (212 lb⋅ft) stock..

I have a 1995 I am selling that had this swap. I live in Oregon city and have owned it for 8 years. The guy before me did the swap to the tune of 30K. I have had no issues with it and usually only drive it for hunting season and once week to work to keep it fresh.
