Hilux ECU in a Prado?

[camrolla]

Hey there,

Will an Auto Diesel Hilux ECU work in an Auto Diesel Prado (150 Series)?

Both run on the D4-D 1KD-FTV 3.0l Turbo Diesel Engine

Same compression ratios

Hilux uses 4 speed automatic

Whereas Prado uses 5 speed automatic

The wiring harness would be different too I imagine?

It's been looked at but I suppose you're after the higher Torque figures of the Prado?

In short, it's probably possible but it's also full of issues and the Prado might have a lot of other input/outputs that need to be connected that the Hilux simply does not have

Aftermarket plug in "chips" for the Hilux are readily available and promise much greater gains and even better fuel economy. They're also very fairly priced and are a simple "plug and play" type setup.
