I would like to convert my landcruiser (80 series) to run on SVO. The only problem being I regulary do 1000k trips, and are sick of towing a trailer and refuelling along the way. (1000Ks being the distance to the parents (or in laws) and return). This leaves me with 2 options that I can think of. (landcruisers come with 2 tanks already)
1 swap rear 50 tank for 160l long range tank (and fill with UCO), relocate spare on the rear tailgate, then conversion with FPHE, extra fuel filter etc. Aprox cost $1600 (mostly being new tank and shifting spare)
2 Get elsbett conversion keep both tanks for veg oil. Kit comes with extra filters etc. Aprox cost, $1600.
So I am leaning towards the elsbett. Mine is a 1990, only one is listed for that year, which matches size, cylinders, turbo, power, voltage, injector pump manufacturer. At the end of the listing it has (nur/ only IDI) My car has written on it “direct injection”
Did Toyota do 2 heads for the 1HD-T engine for different markets (a direct and indirect injection) perhaps IDI for colder climates, or is there some other explanation I don’t know about?
Any other way of going about this conversion you may like to suggest?
