Best Place To Buy a 2nd Hand Toyota 1HD FTE Engine & gearbox?

Thanks Stepan - I thought they'd be a LOT dearerthan that!

Cheers

No,

Effie still outranks any Tojo at 7.3 liters of intercooled Turbo Diesel with LPG gas injection! Add one of Jody Tiptons DP Tuner Program chips, a 4 inch Exhaust, and your looking at 400+ RWHP.

Son, however is planning to upspec his 80 series power plant with a later model common rail 4.2 liter 24 valve T diesel 1HD FTE that he can Chip, add the LPG too and Intercool..... he aims to get about 230 - 250 HP maybe.....compared to the about 150 -170 HP he gets now.

Figures to outperform the Brunswick Deisels Chev 6.5 V8 diesel conversions, using the 4.2 Toyota engine and some aftermarket white man magic in the LPG & Safari Intercooler as well as a chip!.

Looking for more HP and less weight for better fuel economy, may even alter the Diff ratios for longer highway legs.

We shall see I guess.

Cheers

If theres a problem with the Safari HO Chip & LPG - I was actually thinking of sending a dyno readout to the USA to Jody Tipton of Dp Tuners fame, ( http://www.dp-tuner.com/) and have him write me a series of "custom software programs & chip" for the IHD-FTE, with the LPG on it!

He saw my F 250 7.3 with and without LPG, dyno graph and reckons he can write programs & supply chip for it with LPG, so I imagine he wouldn't have much trouble writing one for a Tojo 1 HDFTE - just a question of sending the Dyno graph most likely.

If the Safari chip will work well n good - but the DP Tuner chips for the F 250 at least are well respected, with selectable programs for:-

Valet (drops the HP so the kids parking your car don't arc it up in the car park)
Zero Tune (Car won't run - sort of a anti theft system - without the PIN it's going no where).
+ 20 HP Power tune
+ 20 Hp Economy Tune
+ 20 Hp Towing Tune
+ 40 HP Power
+ 40 Hp Economy
+ 40 Hp Towing
+ 80 Hp Power
+120 Hp Power
+ Smoke Tune (Overfuels and pours out baclk smoke at the lights just befoe you want to dial up an extra 120 ponies for a breif squirt from the green against some other vehicle that needs to be taught a lesson in humility!)

Thats about 10 "individual programs" written specifically for your truck with it's individual modifications dependent upon it's dyno performance graphs..

Of course they aren't cheap at around $350 US for the chip & programs.

If it is an auto - the programs include the altered change points for the transmission as well.

Lots of people swear bye them, we just don't see a lot of them here downunder is all.

I have mine fitted with Gas, and then fitted a Dtronic Chip. I did not find much difference after fitting the chip.

There were no problems with it, but I was a little worried that I may cook the engine.

If I had a pyro fitted then I would be more relaxed about the combination. I just love the gas though.

I only get about 1 L/100 better economy but the power and smoothness of it is . . .WOW.

Thanks - I'll try and get out there tomorrow for a looksee.
