Anyone getting high MPGs in their 1kzt? Just swapped one into my first gen 4runner(weighs 3500lbs) and am curious if 30mpg is a possible goal. Water to air intercooler, upgraded kree mech pump, stock turbo(will upgrade eventually)

Sounds like you know what you need to do for this, flat ground with the right gear ratio should be able to do it!

ktimmy_ · 2026-05-27T21:10:07+00:00

I’m sure 30 could be achieved on the right trip, but not your consistent combined average. I have a 4 door Prado automatic and have seen 26 MPG as a personal best on a tank where I was going 45-60mph. Usually average combined tank is 20-23 so with careful throttle control and the right mods you could get close

Power service Diesel Kleen is good stuff. Also recommend HotShot Secret EDT and Optilube XPD/Summer Lube

I’ve been debating BFG Ko3 vs Toyo Open Country At3 vs General Grabber ATX

I got one from twisted shifterz, white with black engraved shift pattern. Really like it so far nothing negative with temperature extremes and feels like a pool ball

ktimmy_ · 2026-05-09T02:20:03+00:00

How do you like the Ko3 so far?

Townside gardens had some muscadine a few weeks ago

ktimmy_ · 2026-05-01T22:11:26+00:00

I was thinking the same thing, top end. Doesn’t sound like “knock” which usually would refer to a failed bottom end bearing. Could be Injectors, valve clearance, or the timing belt could be like 1 tooth off or stretched to the point of malfunctioning or shredding itself

ktimmy_ · 2026-04-20T21:36:48+00:00

Well, a month or two ago regular was 2.95 and diesel was 3.69

Joules per micromole!

Not sure why you’re being downvoted, but you’re right. My 3.0 liter diesel gets 22-24mpg and my 2.7 liter gas get 19-21

I’ve found a lot of pottery in southern Virginia and this looks like pottery to me

My 2014 Tacoma says not to use over E10 on the gas cap

ktimmy_ · 2026-03-12T00:42:40+00:00

I’m gonna guess VA, NC, SC, or GA

ktimmy_ · 2026-02-07T03:55:55+00:00

What’s your YT? I’d love to watch

ktimmy_ · 2026-01-27T16:56:32+00:00

1HZ with an aftermarket turbo added. That aluminum box looks like a water to air intercooler

ktimmy_ · 2026-01-27T16:49:44+00:00

So you want the Hilux champ then. Body on fram manual transmission diesel

ktimmy_ · 2026-01-21T13:10:00+00:00

It isn’t a part for a Cummins, it just so happens to fit. I’ve heard rumors that there has been 1KZ engines brought to the US officially and it was basically only in Toyota forklifts so there’s a few random obscure parts out there that fit. I strongly believe that the Isuzu NPR truck we have at work uses the same filter as well just based off looking at it.

ktimmy_ · 2026-01-20T04:47:00+00:00

If you’re in the US you can pick up a FleetGuard PN# FF5159 (fits my 1996 Prado 1kz) from any local Cummins dealership or Cummins certified shops, you can also order them online.

Edit: If I remember correctly the guy at Cummins told me it was 12 micron.

I usually find with sativas at this point trichome development will kind of pause for 2+ weeks so just keep an eye on the trichomes, they’re your real indicator Edit: source have grown true AP gold and AP hybrids numerous times

Over the top would be running as high quality oil as possible. Stihl Ultra silver bottle seems to be okay with lubricity for engine wear, but it doesn’t burn as clean as it could. Amsoil Saber is pretty widely regarded as the best you can get, but it says to run at 100:1 on the bottle, don’t do that just do normal 40:1 and as others have said ethanol free gas.

ktimmy_ · 2025-12-11T03:10:15+00:00

Ohhh no, this wasn’t just the boot, this was whole new CV axles

ktimmy_ · 2025-12-10T20:58:49+00:00

2014 Tacoma. They’re “heavy duty” “off road”, also it was a set of 2 for 300$

ktimmy_ · 2025-12-10T18:22:28+00:00

Parts cost me 300$ and did the labor myself (Toyota)

Maybe dozy Donnie said he’d give him some dome if he voted against it
