2002 Hilux Engine Replacement


Recommended Posts

I have a 2002 Hilux that is meant to have a 5le engine but i think it was replaced with a new engine with a turbo before i bought it. Its a different engine compared to what is in the manual - eg the alternator is at the bottom not the top as per the manual. The engine is seized - tried roll starting downhill and wheels just locked up. I cant find what the engine is. Any ideas on where I would find it? Also 5LE engines are hard to find - any ideas on what else i could put in? Does a 1KZ fit?

Unless you can identify which engine your Hilux has now, you may be better off finding a good 5LE engine and return it to stock.

Nice to have a Turbo diesel though. Have you tried taking a photo of the engine and posting it so others can advise what engine you have. It may be better to have your engine overhauled.
If you can locate the engine number (should be on the registration papers if the engine swap was done legit), you might be able to ID the engine that way too.

 

Do you know why the engine seized? It may be possible to overhaul your engine cheaper than replacing it.
