UPDATE: MARCH 2007
This website stopped
being updated in 2003, unfortunately. We found that the growth of
information on the Internet was so large that eventually better information
began to surpass the info here. At the peak of it's popularity this
site was recieving nearly 500,000 visitors a year.
Today, we personally
have now done two major diesel engine swaps into Land Cruisers with several
more planned, mostly using the Cummins 4BT 4 cyl 3.9L engines. (Most
of the info here is from before we did a major swap). We also have
served as a key consultancy about information to some of the large shops
that are now doing diesel conversions, Proffitt's
Cruiser's in Colorado, and TLC
in Van Nuys, Calif.
There has also been
explosive growth in the industry and concept in general. Today, Isuzudieselswapper.com
is selling Isuzu conversion kits (we will be rebuilding an installing a
4BD1T in June of this year), and there is relevant info all over the place.
For Land Cruiser info,
we recommend the forums at IH8mud.com,
and for interest in the Cummins 4BT swap, check out a site we own called
4BTswaps.com which
discusses this and other diesel engine swaps.
We stopped accepting
emails in about 2004 because we found we were getting very little work
done because we were always answering questions about diesel swaps.
We recommend figuring out which engine you want, then via Google you can
turn up lots of good info.
This site still contains
mostly relevant info though there are a number of errors here so don't
take everything here as gospel... That said, this site
can serve as a useful resource for you which is why we never took it down.
If you still have questions, feel free to contact us via the contact
page at 4BTswaps.com -- thanks...

Welcome
Welcome to CIS's site about
diesel Toyota Land Cruisers and Land Cruisers in general. The information
provided here is not meant to be taken as as gospel, it is meant to strictly
provide additional information for potential projects you may be considering
and/or working on. For most of the items described here, tons
and tons of research will be needed and this is meant to serve as one
moresource and hopefully we can point you to other sites that you
will find helpful too. We love comments and would love to hear them
as well, likewise anything useful and informative I'm more than willing
to post....
