In the same boat as you Macca. Been a sparky for years, working for my self, but have always loved engines. Been playing with them since I was 12 and still would love to get into them a lot more than I do now. Keen to see how the 3litre goes for you. Only thing I don’t like is that the fuel lines are under the rocker cover. Don’t know you have a leak until the engine runs away from too much diesel leaked into the oil. But not a common issue.
Ah bloody oath! I definitely will man up one day and have a crack! They interest me so much! And the fealing of making sweet horse power after would be so rewarding!
Nice build Tj... Jhh machined my 4m40t back in the day, I did pretty much the same type of build on it, shafted the balance shafts and balanced the motor, ported the head and turbo also, then added water meth injection..... (don't forget that ;)
love the work as always i wanted to go 1kd with my one but couldn't find any conversion info into them so went with the 1kzte 3 liter love all the info u guys are chucking in as it all helps legends see u in wa some time with the old rigs boys be sick
Great work team, the 1KD is great we've had a couple. Regularly serviced & looked after you'll get a zillion Kms out of it. We had 2 x 1KZ (different vehicles), not as refined & a bit thirstier, got nearly 1M Kms out of one. Servicing is everything imho. Thanks as always legends the vid quality is epic as per usual. 🤌🙏✌️
Awesome episode guys, you guys opened up my knowledge to the legends at kaizen fab, I'm about to order full rebuild kit and turbo upgrade from Nick. Nice 1 legends
Ah the mighty 1KD, would have loved to see a 1UZ in it but completely agree that the 1KD is the best way to go, especially tickled up by the Kaizen Fab boys! Nice work triggering the 4J fan boys 😂 Great episode fellas!!
Interesting ep, looking forward to the install and seeing what you guys do.... but also, the camera is so choppy and shakey, making those really interesting parts hard to watch. But cool work!
A 1KZ would be more straightforward to swap (and cheaper to maintain due to being an indirect injection), given that Surfs already featured the 1KZ OEM in the 92-95 models, but the better power and fuel economy of the D4D 1KD is nice too.
haha unfortunately we are under the pump with editing! Tj defs gets his hands dirty when he can but unfortunately time is a killer when it comes to weekly episodes!
Gee I wish I knew this before I sold my pride and joy 92 hilux due to it using more fuel whilst loosing power after 15 years of reliability, I still miss the old girl I had owned 😢 since new, the only thing that confused me you say it is a 1992 but the 92 model was the second year of the 2.8 diesels
Ah bugger! Yes its actually a 92 model toyota surf that has been cut down into a ute! I beleive this is why it has a 2.4 2lte as its a surf not a ln106!
Yeah it’s totally working, so nice to watch something start and finish in the same episode. Understand it would take so much longer to film and edit but it is definitely better!
Good choice! You could highly modify it, however a 1KZ rear sump is the easier option and also needs a trim for maximum up travel! The boys will have all this available as a conversion once tjs is finished to!
Hi greg, you can however you will need a tune afterwards. An engine of that much use i would be hesitant to start doing performance mods if you wanted to keap going to that 500xxx kms mark!
Just opnion :) Dudes really, you hit the 4j ragout... I follow you with passion, and that hurt... This aint no stock motor compare. A basic intake clean, vent, balancer, dyno tune (no piggy) and bam! Keeps em reliable AF. More torque to poke at for most 4x4 tracks. (HP is not required mostly). I still out drive most on my days out with my 2010RC. Ohhh, and GnL is the shop that does my work!!!!
Haha yeh we know it was just a bit of banter! lol nick knows the 4j very well its a sweet motor virtually identical to the 1kd! GNL are the wizards of them and nick works there!
Cheeky fact for you Macca, there’s actually no such thing as N70s and N80s. They’re KUNs and GUNs. Little fact I figured out the other day. Nowhere is it listed by Toyota about them being an n70 or n80. Love your work
Hahaha I was about to get the welder out and weld the head to the block. Nick recons that would be a bad idea mostly because alloy doesn’t weld to steel 😂
You can tell a wizard on the tools by talking marketing to him. If he gets angry, he you're guy 😂
😂 spot on hey
😂😂😂
🤣
Was so happy when yous deciding to put a 1KD into the lux, favourite video on UA-cam learnt to much off this
Thanks Ryan ! 🙌
Only 4x4 channel I’m interested in watching now, keep em coming 👌
Thanks my dude 🙌
My favourite 4wd UA-cam channel👍 Can’t wait for the 60 build😮💨 Keep up the great work🤙
Thanks mate ! Yep plenty more coming in hot 🔥
I called it, so keen to see this conversion unfold. Will be wicked when it’s finished
😂 talk to the head bolts right, best part . Iv never enjoyed a rebuild video so much before
😂 don’t want those sneaky buggers slacking off 😅
The 1kd is an awesome engine, mines just hit 512,000ks so it’ll probably get the kaizen rebuild treatment soon 🤙
😂 be rude not to throw a few extras on ey 😝
Crazy that stock toyota main cap studs are as strong as ARP studs 😮
Just goes to show why toyota is what it is
Yeah Nick certainly knows his stuff hey!
Now I want another LN106. Mine was a great 4x4, but just so slow. Problem solved. Great work to everyone involved.
Yeah this will certainly solve that problem! Haha thanks mate 🙌
This is gunna be so killer!!
I kinda love that it’s staying Toyota and pre dpf!
Cant wait for the next one! Boys are on
Waaaay beyond my very limited mechanical skill but so damn fascinating to watch an engin build. Great content Boys!!!

Yes boys, here for it! Hilux will be so good with a 1KD.
Richo VS the 1kd 😜
Cheers richoo!! p.s. ready to get chopped again haha
@@macpreston Ready for ya big boy 🤣
love the work as always i wanted to go 1kd with my one but couldn't find any conversion info into them so went with the 1kzte 3 liter love all the info u guys are chucking in as it all helps legends see u in wa some time with the old rigs boys be sick
Thanks mate ! Yeah can’t wait to get back to that side of the country , soon 💪
How he managed to keep a straight face with you two helping is unbelievable. We were both laughing at your engine building hints .
😂 lucky he is a wizard and we didn’t distract him too much haha
Hell yeah keen to see this rip with a 1kd!
Bloody wow
How cool is that clear timing case 👍🏽
Great episode boys…. love the engine rebuild content…. very satisfying.
Thanks mate ! Yeah can’t wait to get it back in the road 💪
Wicked ep boys was great to see all the knowledge that TJ was taking in 👀 10 outta 10 to the Kaizen boys was defiantly interesting to watch.👍👍👍👍
Always important to measure the thrust on the crankshaft. 😁😆
Always 🤣
FYI, the material the bearings are made from is called Babbitt! It’s a mixture of a few different soft metals
Ahhh yeah I learnt so much that day so interesting!
Loving the builds each of you do! this build is super unique Tj and mac with the K truck loving it all boys
Thanks ! Yeah can’t wait to get it out and use it 🤩
Wicked episode fellas. Looking forward to the 12ht going into the 60
haha I have something from the era for it but its not a 12HT
@@macpreston 15bfte? Please dont be a td42 🤢
@@macpreston Better be a td42 😩
The clear timing cover is a great idea, don't have to rip the motor apart to check the timing belt lol
😅 pretty cool however probably gonna get full of dust haha
Are you going to do a episode of the old engine pull down? Would be keen to see the damage of it
Uncle pooly probably will 😎😜
I was expecting that. You should do it on the lc60 as well.
Not a bad idea 🤩

Thanks for the tips! Yeah going to be a really good vehicle with this engine I reckon ! Can not wait to get it out and about 🤩
Great content fellas! Nick is a bloody wizard! 👌👌👌
Sure is ! thanks Shannon !
Awesome episode guys, you guys opened up my knowledge to the legends at kaizen fab, I'm about to order full rebuild kit and turbo upgrade from Nick. Nice 1 legends
Ahh that’s awesome Jason ! 🤩
Hell yeah 👍 looking forward to the next episode!
Hell yeah keen for the next vid !! So much inspiration
More to come!🙌
Def gotta map a hardcut limiter yuhh
Hahaha 😂 I’ll be in the club then ! 😅
Indeed haha😂 show the 4j's how its done right😂😂
Ah the mighty 1KD, would have loved to see a 1UZ in it but completely agree that the 1KD is the best way to go, especially tickled up by the Kaizen Fab boys!
Nice work triggering the 4J fan boys 😂
Great episode fellas!!
Yeah and I really wanted diesel again as well as light weight , pretty happy with the decision!
Haha gotta love a bit of banter between the rival engine!
@@macpreston ha ha, exactly mate 😂
Love it. Great build. Gives me inspo for my ln106 build.
Awesome 🙌 thanks mate
When you coming WA ways, plenty of fun to be had here
Maaaate can not wait to get back , just such a mission 😅
Working on it!! Once we got a few cars on the road we’ll send a couple over I recon!
1KD just makes sense. Its like an OEM upgrade!!
I know right 🤩
Couldn’t agree more!
Bloody awesome guys, love the detailed explanations, I’m learning cool stuff. Much appreciated, more videos like this 🙂
Cheers mate! Will do our best!
Awesome episode guys!
Thanks Aaron !
Interesting ep, looking forward to the install and seeing what you guys do.... but also, the camera is so choppy and shakey, making those really interesting parts hard to watch. But cool work!
Yeah the gimbals broken at the moment sorry ! Thanks mate 🙌
The neighbours must love you two 😅
😂 yeah they are used to the shenanigans I think
Been waiting all day for this!
Hahaha well here we go 🤩
l lOVE THIS CHANNEL! You guys are Legends much love and support from the Kiwi lads
Thanks my dudes 🙌
Up the brothers from over the ditch 💪🏼💪🏼
Stoked to see TJ actually have horsepower 😂 KDN106 FTW
Yeah going to be wild hey 😅
the macs thrust crank is what made me smash the like button, 1 thou, yeah its a little cold haha thanks for the laughs fellas.
😂 thanks for thrusting the like button
Really bearing all in this one boys
Thanks ! Yeah gonna be fun to wheel !!
Ripper episode guys. Had me in stitches. Cant wait for the next ep.

Yeah it’s certainly going to be a step up power wise 💪
1kz are crap so kd is the go
@@darcykeddell4930 The 2LTE is far worse. Had success with both the kz and kd, but never with that 2.4L. Gutless and always ends up overheating.
@@mikex4941 that is a fair point, you are right a kz is a fair upgrade from a 2lte
Good to see TJ helping out pulling out his motor......😅
😅 someone’s gotta edit the video
haha unfortunately we are under the pump with editing! Tj defs gets his hands dirty when he can but unfortunately time is a killer when it comes to weekly episodes!
@@macpreston all good mate. You guys are a great team. I look forward to all your videos
You guys should into old TDI engines. They are very similar to a small Cummins with lots of torque.
Social awkwardness came first then the engineer then the engine.
Love a good engine build vid. Definitely going to be a beast of a slux.
Haha 😅 yeah can’t wait to give it a run !
If i was having this many laughs while folding my laundry id muck it up 😂 so props to him for being able to concentrate
😅 we were definitely not speeding up the process 😂 lucky Nick is a wizard !
Haha I definitely tried to put him off his game but he’s to good 😂
The comedy on this was at a all time high 😂
😎
No joke i saw this coming!!!
Haha it’s the obvious choice yeah !
Great episode guys & the dad jokes just get better & better 😂😂😂
Haha almost 2 years into dad life and they are starting to get thicker 🤣
Hit like before i even started watching. It's also in the Prado.
Indeed ! Thanks legend 💪🙌
Only 4x4 channel I’m interested in watching now)
Oh thanks mate 🙌
Great engine mod for the real lux's with solid diffs the best 👍
I know right ! 🙌
should slap a f55 turbo on it they sound sick
They sure do 😎💪
Gee I wish I knew this before I sold my pride and joy 92 hilux due to it using more fuel whilst loosing power after 15 years of reliability, I still miss the old girl I had owned 😢 since new, the only thing that confused me you say it is a 1992 but the 92 model was the second year of the 2.8 diesels
Ah bugger! Yes its actually a 92 model toyota surf that has been cut down into a ute! I beleive this is why it has a 2.4 2lte as its a surf not a ln106!
i knew it!!! fkn love this build
Can’t wait to get it back on the road 💪
foath boys learnt more from this ep than my uni lectures haha
Haha 😅 awesome 🤩
I read that as 1-HD. Would have been a great conversion!
These 30 minute videos are the shit. So much better than 3 10 minute videos with not much going on
Thanks mate yeah trying to make the episodes interesting!
Yeah it’s totally working, so nice to watch something start and finish in the same episode. Understand it would take so much longer to film and edit but it is definitely better!
Love your work boys! 🤟
Thanks mate !
This is sick! Does the old hilux gearbox bolt up to new engine/bellhousing?
Mine was an auto with the A340 so yep, bolts directly up no mods needed 💪
Is it Nick and Mitch? From Kaizen-Fab? Those boys are amazing!
Sure is 😎
Luxys gonna party now how good
I know right 😅 can’t wait to get it on the road 🤩
I remember when I builded my first 1kd still running in my Prado 😂
big saucy 1-kd. a rather informative episode, the path to enlightenment appears illuminated...
MUCH APPRECIATED FELLAS
Haha 😜 thanks ! 🙌
Man knows his stuff!
Nice one! Beat me to it in my 4Runner. Standard sump/ pickup work for solid axle?
Good choice! You could highly modify it, however a 1KZ rear sump is the easier option and also needs a trim for maximum up travel! The boys will have all this available as a conversion once tjs is finished to!
😮need that on a shirt, big aussie boy
Perfect timing 👌
Perfecto🤩
It's probably the most coolest Ln106 out at the moment. Is there an update coming?
Yep
Just taking longer than expected
But not to far off 😎
Awesome 🎉
1992 was a great year for toyota and everything else that was made in 92
I agree
Guys can't wait for old school meets new school 😁
Killing it 👌🏻
Love this
Love the humor
What would be a rough price of this build
Hi MAC, can you increase the injectors size of your standard 1-KD engine? engine got 367k with original factory injectors, never replaced yet.
Hi greg, you can however you will need a tune afterwards. An engine of that much use i would be hesitant to start doing performance mods if you wanted to keap going to that 500xxx kms mark!
Been missing you guys lol
Should've done a 1uz 😁
Haha na wanted to be a little different however certainly a great option !
Imagine a 2021 1-GD Swap in those D:
Hey guys, is this still happening? Been waiting a while for the followup vid, cheers
Today’s the day !!
fantastic
I agree completely 😝
1kd will send 🔥🔥🤙🤙
I reckon 😅 can’t wait haha
U guys should check out 15BT 4.2cc
Just opnion :)

Is everything balanced and all that good stuff? Its not a ls with a turbo though. Lol
When is part 2 coming out since I want to do a 1-KD swap to my hilux surf from a 2LT just like you

Interesting fact! Cheers!
Most people know what an n70 and n80 are so it kinda is a thing. Just not a official Toyota thing
Kaizen put some respek on 4Js
Haven’t even watched it all but good god i approve 🤤
Hahaha😂💪💪💪 gonna be a beast
2LT to 1KD yoooooooooooo what a Jump
Isn’t it a ln130?
Yep originally it was , you’re dead right !
Now’s it’s a frankinstine Ute I call it all sorts of things 😅
YESSSSSSS !!!!
as a 4jj1 guy 12:39 hurt 😢😂
😅 just kiddin round haha !
Fully sick bro
Love this shit 🎉🎉🎉
same 🤩
Thank fuck you don't build your own engines Mac. If you think that is a decked head @9.04🤣 Love your work boys.
