emission level?

[KZJ90 Member Find all posts View Profile Close KZJ90]

I am planning to install intercooler to my Prado. I´d need information what is the emission level of 90-series Prado which have factory intercooler. I think I could use it to prove that emission level not change worse.

Where could I get a document of that? Toyota Australia says ask for Toyota Finland, which says they don´t know because it´s not an European model.

Could anybody help :?: Is it ADR79/00 or something...?

I found this:

The 3.0-litre EFI-equipped Prado Turbo-diesel's carbon monoxide emissions are less than one 20th of the level specified by the Australian Design Rules. The vehicle's hydrocarbon emissions and oxides of nitrogen are one fifth of the levels specified by Australian Design Rules. Prado Turbo-diesel also easily passes the requirements of ADR30 on diesel smoke (particulate) emissions.

..but I need exact emission code and official information.

Does it not already have an intercooler?

Or is there a model with out?

No, there is not. Looks like this:


All 90-series Prados (Prado there, Land Cruiser KZJ9# here) which is sold in Europe, don´t have an intercooler.

Maybe it would help if I´d have a VIN number of the vehicle, so if you have SWB Prado 90 1996-2000 with intercooled 1KZ-TE engine and manual transmission, please send me the VIN as private message.

KZJ90,

Here is a photo of a sticker on my power steering resevoir. Aussie delivered KZJ95



Hope this helps.

Thanks, but this is for diesel smoke (particulate) emissions (ADR30). The other thing is "Measures to be taken against air pollution by emissions from motor vehicles" which is ADR70 and ADR79 rule there, I´ve understood.

I found this:

The evolution of vehicle emission standards in Australia occurred through a number of regulatory actions. Some of the important steps can be summarized as follows:

* Emission standards for petrol engined light vehicles commenced in the early 1970s.
* A smoke emission requirement (ADR30/00) was introduced in 1976 for vehicles with 4 or more wheels powered by a diesel engine. The alternative smoke standards were US EPA ’74 or later or British standards “Performance of Diesel Engines for Road Vehicles” BS AU 141a:1971 or ECE R 24/00, 24/01, 24/02 or 24/03 “Diesel and Pollutants” or, in the case of an engine alone, ECE R 24/03.
* The first emission standards (apart from smoke standards) for heavy diesel fueled vehicles became effective in 1995 for all new models and in 1996 for all existing models. These emission standards were introduced via ADR70/00 (adopting ECE R49, US & Japanese HDV standards). The requirements of the 1995/96 standards were:
o Required: Euro 1 for both light-duty and heavy-duty (heavy goods) vehicles. Euro 2 and 3 were also accepted though not included in the regulation.
o Acceptable alternatives: US EPA ’91 or ’94 (EPA ’98 was also accepted though not included in the regulation); 1993 Japanese exhaust emission standards for “light duty and medium duty vehicles” and 1994 Japanese exhaust emission standards for “passenger cars and heavy duty vehicles”.

A second round of more stringent emission standards applied from 2002/2003 model year (for new/existing models). The standards—initially equivalent to Euro 2/3—have been gradually tightened to adopt Euro 4 for light-duty cars and trucks (diesel and petrol), and Euro 5 for heavy-duty diesel engines.
Emission Standards (2002/03 And Later)

The emission standards were introduced via two new series of ADRs, which apply to vehicles depending on their gross vehicle mass (GVM):

* ADR79/00, ADR79/01, and ADR79/02 for light-duty vehicles at or below 3.5 t GVM (replacing ADR37/01)
* ADR80/00, ADR80/01, ADR80/02, and ADR80/03 for heavy-duty vehicles above 3.5 t GVM (replacing ADR70/00)

The new ADRs apply to new vehicles fueled with petrol, diesel, as well as with LPG or natural gas, with an implementation schedule from 2002/3 to 2010/11. The requirements are summarized in Table 1 (the requirements and dates for heavy LPG and NG vehicles are the same as for diesel).

The two year date combinations shown in the table refer to the dates applicable to new model vehicles and all model vehicles, respectively. For example, in the case of 02/03, this means that from 1 January 2002 any new model first produced with a date of manufacture after 1 January 2002 must comply with the ADR, and from 1 January 2003 all new vehicles (regardless of the first production date for that particular model) must comply.
