Toyota 1HD-T

Toyota 1HD-TThe Toyota 1HD-T is a 4.20 l (4,164 cc, 254.1 cu-in) six cylinders, four-stroke cycle water-cooled turbocharged internal combustion diesel engine, manufactured by the Toyota Motor Corporation.

The 1HD-T engine has a cast-iron block with 94 mm (3.7 in) cylinder bores and a 100 mm (3.94 in) piston stroke. Compression ratio rating is 18.6:1. The motor has a cast iron cylinder head with a single overhead camshaft (SOHC) with two valves per cylinder; direct-injection design and Toyota CT26 turbocharger with a boost pressure of 0.48 bar.

The Toyota 1HD-T produced 167 PS (123 kW; 165 HP) at 3,600 rpm of maximum horsepower and 363 Nm (37.0 kg·m; 267.9 ft·lb) at 2,000 rpm of maximum torque.

The breakdown of the engine code is as follows:

  • 1 – 1nd generation engine
  • HD – Engine family
  • T – Turbocharged

Cylinder block

The cylinder block is made of cast iron. The crankshaft is supported by 7 bearings on the inside of the crankcase. The crankshaft is integrated with 12 balance weights. The crankshaft bearing cap is of ladder-frame construction and is incorporated into the crankcase. The top of the cylinders is closed off by the cylinder head and the lower end of the cylinders becomes the crankcase, in which the crankshaft is installed.

Pistons are made of highly temperature-resistant aluminum alloy. As the 1 HD-T engine is the direct injection type, a deep combustion chamber has been provided. The first compression ring is made of steel and the second compression ring is made of cast iron. The oil ring is made of steel.

The cylinder bore is 94 mm (3.7 in), piston stroke is 100 mm (3.94 in) and compression ratio rating is 18.6:1.

Cylinder head

The cylinder head is made of cast iron with a cross-flow type intake and exhaust layout. The camshaft journal part of the cylinder head has camshaft caps made of aluminum alloy and is made of cast iron on the cylinder head side. The camshaft is driven by the timing belt.

The 1HD-T engine has OHV design with two valves per cylinder. Intake valves are 42.5 mm (1.6732 in) in diameter, and the exhaust valves are 36.0 mm (1.4173 in). Exhaust and intake valves are equipped with irregular pitch springs which are capable of following the valves even at high engine speeds. The 1HD-T engine has a dual-type exhaust manifold.

Adjustment of the valve clearance is done by means of an outer shim type system, in which valve adjusting shims are located above the valve lifters.

  1. Hi, I’m Fabien I’m looking for a toyota landcruiser 1992 engine 1HDT 12 valves, 6 cylinders, Model D-HDJ81V-RNMEX Frame No: HDJ8-0003885
    to buy, or if you can suggest a seller and eant to find out how much is it.

    Thank you

  2. Greetings!

    I have been looking for Owners Manual for Toyota Land Cruiser 80 Series. I realize you aren’t a trading company, but if you may not the direction in which I can look.

    Kind regards,
    Garry

    • I can supply you with my manual for a 1993 coaster 1hd-t, if you’re only looking for engine manual and it is an hd-t, then it should be the same as my Coaster.
