Turbo Question

[showap Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close showap]

Greetings and Happy New Year to all.
1 st time posting and I have a quick question.
I have a 2004 120 turbo diesel with the 1KD-FTV engine.
I am burning oil at ridiculous rate (1.5qt a month) and mechanics have basically said that the high sulphur content in the fuel where I am (Jamaica) has damaged the engine and the turbo.
Hence I need to have it overhauled. My question is what turbo unit is standard with 1kd-ftv engine?
Are there any repair kits available fot the turbo unit and/or the engine?
Is there any place out of Japan for me to order the parts direct as the dealer here in Jamaica is scum.
Thanks a million.
S

Re: Turbo Question

Sorry to be a pest.
The vehicle is a KZ engine and not a KD as I previously stated.
Maybe that will make more sense.
Thanks

Re: Turbo Question

I can only suggest pm'ing MickL as he is very knowledgeable on the 1KZ. He is the forum contact for the 120 diesel engine section of this forum.

Re: Turbo Question

Any luck? What's the mileage on the engine?

I recently purchased a 120 but opted for the 1kz-te bearing in mind that's it's more tolerant of poor diesel available in Trinidad.

I know there are some foreign used dealers in Trinidad who brings down the engine but it's almost US$4000 for the engine alone.

Re: Turbo Question

Brand new CT20 turbos are available out of the US for about $400US plus freight to your location.

Engine rebuild kits (seals, gaskets, pistons, rings, bearings, sleeves etc etc) are sub $2K AUS also through Ebay out of UK or Australia.


Search "1kz" in "Ebay.com" (Not - ".com.au")

For a rebuild kit? Thats a good price if it includes everything. Diesel kits a far more expensive than petrol kits, especially if it includes pistons and sleeves.

But still, I have seen them cheaper, around $1500 from time to time.


Turbos are sub $300US here's one as example: (there are other suppliers out of the US)

Just be aware to get the correct rebuild kit for the 1kz. There are two; early (pre 1996 engines) and late (post 1996).
