snappytom Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 My Girl Dusty has just over 261,000 miles and compression is about 95 average. Getting ready for a makeover I am considering a diesel. Has anyone done this and what would be a good starting point. I have heard the OM 617 TD from 1983 Mersaidies SD worked for a '90 toyota SR5.

KiwiTerrano Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 TD27, QD32, 1KZ, 3L or 5L. Or an Isuzu or mitsi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogla Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I have a TD27Eti on mine. Has over 240K on it and still does 160km/h. Nice thing about this engine is that I don't need to worry about changing timing belt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoatk Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 What tranny matches up to that engine? Would the 93 manual trans for v6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I don't remember if the TD27 shares a bolt pattern with anything else, but they came in WD21s, so just find the trans it came with and you should be good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
