Toyota 2H & 12H-T
Diesels
The 2H is a 6 cyl diesel
engine, inline fuel pump, 100% mechanical
other than EDIC control, and glow
plugs and related accessories.
The 2H puts out about 110
hp @1800 and 177 ft/lbs of torque somewhere near 3000-3300 RPMs.
It has a very high rev scale compared to a 2F Gas engine, it actually redlines
higher
than a 2F engine and has a similar feel. Because it is not turbo
charged, it is easily affected by altitude,
likewise when upgrading to larger tires, you must pay very close attention
to axle gearing, like with
all diesels.
Dimensions wise, it actually
has almost identical dimensions to a 2F and weighs roughly the same as
well.
They were available in North
America for only two short years, in Canada in 1986 and 1987. They
are found with either a 5 speed manual transmission (H55F) or an automatic,
the same one (A440F) found in FJ62s. It was considered to be "the
replacement" for the 3B engine which was available
in Canada through 1985 in 40, 60, and 70 series models.
The 12H-T is the factory
turbo charged version with major differences being piston
skirt cooling for the turbo, and a different, direct
injected head and accompanying parts. Otherwise it has the same
block and bolt pattern as the 2H. It was never available in the USA,
and was available in HJ61s from Europe and in other countries. The
12H-T puts out roughly 130 HP and about 230 ft/lbs of torque, almost identical
to a 2F gas engine to get an idea.
Overall, all H series engines
are very smooth, quiet, do not rattle much, and are a great application
for a truck in my opinion that has not been heavily modified. Adding
a turbo to a 2H is a wonderful addition, even though the 2H never came
with piston skirt cooling.
