Hello from Wisconsin. Toyota OM617 Swap

Just wanted to say hello from Appleton Wisconsin.

My first diesel SUV

I have a 1985 Toyota 4Runner I have transplanted a Mercedes OM617.950 I5 turbo diesel into

I am lazy and bought a kit to install tdswaps.com

So far it has been a time consuming swap still needs a lot of work and tweaking and cleaning up.

Since I am new to diesel I will be asking a lot of question that most likely will seem dumb to most of you but this is how I lean..

Some random pics.

 

Pretty cool job on the transplant

 

I’m kind of ashamed how it looks right now until I am %100 happy I will leave the stock harness in place . when I am happy I will cut it all out and clean it up.

 

Howdy! Welcome to the site! Thanks for the pics! Keep us posted on your progress!

 

Dose anyone. Know if the stock 300SD fuel tank is vented to the outside? Because I think my stock Toyota is not?

 

 

First tank of diesel 27-28.5 MPG
2nd tank of diesel 23-24 driving like a mad man turned up the ALDA
Just put the 3rd tank of diesel in.

I am going to try to drive good. But it is hard since I like to hear the turbo spool and I can’t get over the fact my ole **** box can go 80 +

 

 

???

 

I was laughing at when you said this:
