3L Diesel power up options?

[UTERUS]

My brother has a 3l 2.8 Diesel in his 97 Hiace Van. He wants to know of any power upgrades avalible, with keeping with the diesel engine. Turbo? Maybe the turbo off a 3 liter hiace?

He just wants a bit more grunt for towing.

Cheers

extractors. make a huge difference
turbo kit. works ok, cost heaps
1kzte (3ltr turbo) this is what id do. however budget for around $2500-3000 for an engine

Would the turbo manifold off the 2L-T work on the 3L head?

[Mr Revhead]

yep

would have to check clearance in a van though

would have to check clearance in a van though

why??? there are turbo vans.

[Mr Revhead]

yes, but depending on his model and the donor model itll pay to check!

some tight clearances there!

extractors, lol
woud it make much differents on the 3l Diesel?
say turbo with retarding timing would be the cheapis

I think you will be better off with fuel pump off a turbo diesel (if you are going to go turbo the 3L route), early KZ I think have mechanical pumps, which might fit (but I don't know - never done something like that)

yuh detonation in diesels is like, hardcore

[Mr Revhead]

yeah gotta watch that timing!!

yes extractors make a big difference to the 3l.
havnt seen it done in a hiace, but its common for the hilux.

I have got a compete 2LT motor off a 1989-90 Hilux surf. (manual) Motor runs bearing. So maybe the turbo kit good for u?

I no longer needed it as 2JZ is going in. Offers??
