Toyota 1KZ-TE 3.0L Turbo Diesel Engine AWD A/T with Wiring & ECU JDM

Description

The Toyota 1KZ-TE 3.0L Turbo Diesel Engine is one of the most respected diesel engines ever built by Toyota, known for its exceptional reliability, strong torque, and smooth performance. This complete JDM engine package comes equipped with an automatic transmission (A/T), AWD compatibility, and includes the complete wiring harness and ECU, making it a plug-and-play solution for Toyota diesel conversions or OEM replacements. Each unit is thoroughly tested and inspected to ensure the highest standards of performance and dependability.

The 1KZ-TE is a 3.0-liter, four-cylinder, SOHC turbo diesel engine featuring electronic fuel injection and a water-cooled intercooler for improved efficiency and power delivery. It produces approximately 130–145 horsepower and 343 Nm of torque, depending on the vehicle model and ECU calibration. The combination of mechanical robustness and electronic precision gives this engine its legendary balance of power and durability. Built with a cast-iron block and aluminum alloy head, it is engineered to withstand years of tough use, making it a favorite among off-road and utility vehicle enthusiasts worldwide.

Each engine undergoes full performance testing before shipping, including compression checks, leak-down testing, oil pressure verification, and ECU diagnostics. Our technicians also inspect the turbocharger, fuel injectors, and internal seals to ensure the engine operates smoothly and without excessive wear. With average mileage between 40,000–65,000 miles, this 1KZ-TE unit offers low usage and long-term reliability, ideal for replacing high-mileage or worn-out diesel engines.

This JDM-sourced 1KZ-TE engine package is designed as a direct-fit replacement for multiple Toyota models, making it versatile for both factory swaps and performance upgrades. Compatibility includes:

Fits in:

1993–2004 Toyota Hilux Surf / 4Runner 3.0L Turbo Diesel (KZN130, KZN185)

1996–2004 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 3.0L Turbo Diesel (KZJ90, KZJ95)

Because this engine includes the wiring harness and ECU, installation is more straightforward compared to standalone engine swaps. The ECU is already programmed to match the 1KZ-TE’s injection and turbo parameters, ensuring proper fuel-air delivery and optimal idle control. Professional installation is highly recommended to integrate the wiring correctly and ensure that the AWD system and automatic transmission function as intended.

The complete package comes with a 6-month limited warranty covering the block, cylinder head, crankshaft, and internal moving components. All engines are pre-inspected for oil and coolant integrity and are shipped fully drained, clean, and ready for installation. Using OEM-quality fluids and filters during setup will help preserve the engine’s longevity and maintain consistent performance.

Drivers who choose the 1KZ-TE enjoy the perfect mix of diesel torque, efficiency, and toughness. It’s well-suited for both everyday driving and demanding conditions, from highway cruising to heavy off-road use. The engine’s low-RPM torque curve makes it ideal for towing and steep climbs, while its fuel-efficient nature ensures cost-effective operation.

With its low mileage, complete wiring and ECU, and AWD automatic configuration, this Toyota 1KZ-TE 3.0L Turbo Diesel Engine is a premium option for those seeking a ready-to-install, factory-tested JDM powertrain. Whether you’re restoring a Prado, upgrading a Hilux Surf, or converting a Hiace for added power, this setup offers the performance, reliability, and efficiency that Toyota diesel engines are famous for.
