D4D Engine

[SR509]

Does anybody know why the Prado has 1kw less but a heap more torque than the Hilux. Also, could you drop a 5 spd auto into the Hilux as well as the D4D engine from the Prado?

mate you could probably doany transplant you can think of but at the end of the day why?

for a lousy few kw's etc you would have to overcome the electrical side of the show b4 any success
i learn't something a long time ago through spending heaps of money trying to achieve go.
ya just buy something that goes in the first place
good luck thats just my thoughts

your right old rev....if you want the d4d in the hilux to go, just chip it and exhaust it.

the prado does have a few items that are different, but toyota has spent ages in development trying to achieve those number reliably...you can almost guarantee the next hilux will have the current prado's engine and 5 speed.

you could swap the 5 speed over, but you would need the ECU from the prado that had the same lower spec d4d and the 5 speed auto to make it all work.

end of the day, big cost, but anythings possible.

Hmmm, Just a thought.

Hopefully they won't p***y foot around with the next model of motor and put it straight into the Prado AND Hilux. V6 Twin Turbo Diesel....oooooh yeah
