Hey guys, thought I would start a build thread. Years ago I put a 1.6TD into a 2wd Toyota Pickup, it was a project to tinker with at the end of a failing marriage. A distraction. Things are much better now, I have a great girlfriend and work has been good. I have renewed motivation to build the truck the way I should have built it, so out comes the 1.6TD. Here are some specs of whats going in:
-AHU, rebuilt short block with ASV pistons and those EBay forged rods.
-Frank06 head with his Stage II cam, ported. ARP studs.
-11mm IP from an ALH.
-Titan P502 injectors, balanced.
-99.5 ALH electronics and ECU with Stage 5 tune.
-GTB 1756 turbo
Its going into this:
I know, the 2wd's are ugly and the flat bed isnt helping, but I wanted light weight and economy and this was better suited for the 100 mile daily commute I was doing at the time. Here are some pics of the engine build:
