89 sr5 4x4 diesel

I was about to yell "Fuhgeddaboudit! You'll Never Pass Emissions!" till I saw the Canada reference, they're a bit more lenient up there.

Still, there are enough differences between a diesel and gasoline car to not start on the swap /unless/ you have done your homework, already have all the parts you'll need tracked down, and you're pretty sure you can finish it.

You have to modify almost every single sub-system on the car - several different electrical things including dual batteries, glow plugs, different ignition controls, fuel tank and plumbing, fuel filter and water separator, transmission linkages, you name it.

Even the brakes - no manifold vacuum to speak of on a diesel for the brake booster. You have to have either a Hydroboost system that runs off the power steering pump or a vacuum pump on the back of the alternator.

And you even need to change the gas pedal, or you won't have the throttle control pull knob and linkage needed for warm-ups. (It works great on gasoline cars too, to get a fast idle while using the winch or other heavy electrical loads.)

The car isn't worth bubkis if you get stuck with the body all cut up and the engine half swapped, even if you give them all the parts to go either direction.

The way the price of gasoline (petrol for Australians) is going I suggest that everyone convert their Toyotas to diesel as they are more:

fuel efficient higher torque waterproof reliable can idle all day long less overheat episodes can burn bio diesel or vegetable oil (without glycerin)

Well to help everyone dismiss the myth that Toyota diesel pickups & SUV's are rare in USA & Canada I have included below a list of very resourcefull links that contain places to buy diesel engines/parts and complete rigs.
