Toyota 1KZ-TE 3.0L Turbo-Diesel RWD Manual Package

Engine overview

Same 1KZ-TE family as the AWD automatic diesel, different dress: 2WD manual as listed for Hilux Surf / 4Runner-class RWD. Bellhousing pattern, oil pan, and engine mounts will not match the AWD automatic package sitting next to it in the catalog. If the recipient is a 4x4 automatic, this is the wrong diesel listing.

Typical applications

Listed application window: 1993–2002 Toyota Hilux Surf. Year/make/model get you onto the right aisle. VIN, oil pan, and engine code decide whether the assembly actually ships.

Diesel configuration

3.0L SOHC turbo-diesel inline-four, Turbocharged, SOHC, 2 valves per cylinder, Cast iron block, Aluminum head. Listed dress: complete engine. Listed transmission: 2WD manual. Published family output: 130–145 PS class depending on market tune. That is not a dynamometer result for this serial.

What buyers should verify

Stamped engine code, oil pan shape, engine mounts, exhaust manifolds or turbo/blower hardware, and whether the harness and ECU in the vehicle match this generation. Send this SKU with the VIN on an engine enquiry before freight is scheduled.

Included assembly information

This is an engine-and-transmission package as titled. Clutch or torque converter, shifter, and electronics may still live in the donor. Photograph-level dress is the contract; unnamed parts are not included.

Installation considerations

JDM engines often differ in harness connectors, emissions equipment, and mount geometry from the US-market equivalent. Budget for sensors, manifolds, and an ECU strategy that the vehicle actually has. Compression or leak-down data is supplied only if it is written on the order—do not assume a test sheet exists because the engine is imported.

Shipping considerations

Engine and transmission packages ship as freight on a pallet. Combined weight is higher than an engine-only crate. Confirm a shop dock or a residential liftgate when the address is collected. Transit time is quoted after the destination is known; it is not printed as a guarantee on this page.

Warranty information

Used JDM coverage is stated per engine at the time of sale. No blanket term, labor reimbursement, or return window is implied by this listing. Read the note on the order before freight is scheduled.
