scrapping some ideas for rwd conversion

[kaaasap]

i have been thinking of what would make my rwd conversion i am in the process of doing just a little more different. i think i have a good idea with deisel. now before you all think i am on drugs or something, think about mileage, torque possibilties, and current technologies to make deisels quiter and less notisably a deisel. the question i am asking every one is what is the best four banger deisel toyota makes. i am talking about newer ones that i can easily put an after market computer system on. thinking mega squirt, its cheap and does all sorts of stuff. from injection to turbo timing. keep in mind i am still thinking lite, all though i know deisels aren't, but power to weight is what i want. thanks for any help.

Theres a deisel engine that came in some other versions of the tercel, they come up now and again... If I were doing that swap I would look for that just becasue you knoe it will go in there with little trouble.

There is a Turbo charged diesel JDM tercel engine. That should drop in without any physical mods. That trim was known as the windy

[Tercel GTS]

From what I've read Toyota diesels are mechanical thus no computer. Read the sticky on it?

am stiil doing rwd, just looking for a good efi or mpfi diesel. thanx for the help though on the stock tercel diesel. i have done some research and found some potentials. 1cd-ftv is a great efi turbo with stock 110 hp and 185 ftlbs and dohc. with proper turbo performance and better fuel managment i think this has the front runner. the only problem is it is an european engine and they dont get rid of diesels there very often. maybe japan has a good engine i am unable to find. the 1kz is a good four banging diesel, but it is probably way to large since it is used in suvs and trucks. next idea is the 13b-t stock power is 118 hp and 210 ftlbs. and 3 point something for displacement.
