It's been a mare of a week. I've cooked the 13BT and she needs a rebuild.

Should I rebuild her or look for a upgrade. Contemplating a 1HZ (if I can find one- help if you can).

What other options should I consider in diesel?

1kz?

My .002c

Go another 13BT ( or go for a rebuild) The 1HZ's have abit more torque ( 1HZs 285nm vs 13BT 217nm) but only 9more hp at factory. You could prob get that out of a 13BT with abit of tuning

Don't get me wrong , 1HZ's are awesome engines , I use to run one in my70 but the hassle of new engine mounts , you'd also have to find a HZ gearbox or swap the output shaft because the 4 cyl and 6 cly shafts are different. Swapping the shafts means taking the gearbox to bits . Different bellhousing , cert etc

For the gains its alot of work . If you were gonna put that effort in a 1HDT might be more worthwhile

Just things to consider

v8 or rebuild what you gotv8 or rebuild what you got

Thanks 109. I'm in the proces of shopping around for the rebuild. If it's too deal, I'm writing it off.
