I'm sorry but the 1KZ is a POS, I'm a sucker who's had several, none has lasted longer than a few months before It gets pulled for a 1UZ. It's noisy, underpowered and a fuel sl*t. I get better economy from a 1UZ powered surf. Last pics of the 1KZ before it's off to the graveyard.

That snorkel might be fine off road at low speed, but it would be terrible at anything over 55, rear facing snorkels get a negative pressure in the top as the air moves over it at speed.

hey mate, was it you that wanted my 1k engine mounts? Have them sitting in a box in the garage. Cover postage cost and they are yours.

Lol, I just took mine off and binned them, no one wants them down here, kinda funny seeing them put on deliberately

Coopers cost less? wow, we must be getting ripped off out here in Oz then, my coopers were $120 dearer per tire than the KM2's

I run 265/70/17 Cooper ST Maxx in my Hilux Surf on 2012 FJ Cruiser Rims. Great tire but they seem to wear a lot faster than my last BFG's. I just wanted to try something different.

You lucky bugger, I've been after one of those for ages.

I've done alot of development on them for the mines around Oz, it amazes me ford managed to completely screw up an engine volvo can make work so well. sigh.

Not free, no. I already have 3" exhaust, FMIC, removed EGR, etc. Still a slow POS.

Totally, I'm waiting for the 3.0L V6 turbo diesel to get put in an Amarok and they will have my money for a brand new one. The current hilux diesel isn't worth the money they are asking for it. It's about 20k overpriced.

Its true, the 1kz is the second slowest fuel pig I've owned. My last 4runner I did a 1UZ conversion on, (pulled out the 2.4L turbo diesel, by far the slowest P.O.S ever) I actually got much better fuel economy from the 4L V8 due to it not having to work as hard to do the job. I do have a...

so why are we aussies hated for having a 1kz? I have one in mine and I'm just about to pull it out and swap for a Landcruiser 4.7L V8, lol.

I do have a complete set of big clear ones, including the one for the front top edge of the sunroof. However, Shipping from Oz will likely be a killer...

My old 93 4runner with 3VZ was getting about 320km from a tank, no barwork, stock body with 33" tires. changed O2 sensor and it jumped to 400km a tank.

I had a 2.4 Turbo diesel in my last truck, an LN130 Hilux Surf (gen 2 4runner shape) it was the slowest piece of crap and sucked down fuel like no tomorrow. My current KZN185 Surf (3rd gen 4runner shape) has a 1KZ-TE Diesel engine, its 3 liters and a monumentally better engine than the 2.4...
