This is a detuned version of this engine , the gearbox and diffs are carried over from the 78/79 series lancrusier thats why power and torque figures look low . This engine will be in the Landcrusier replacement this year with 195kw and 620nm of torque. The only reason this engine is appearing in the 70 series is because the 1hd-fte didnt meet euro 4 emissions.The cost for Toyota to design a new driveline for the 70 series just wouldnt make sense , at best they sell about 400 units a month in australia and we are the biggest market for this vehicle . The 70 series is designed mainly for mining and farm enviroments and is as tough as old boots , its not a race car .
