Diesel Engine

[Highlander]

I've got an SJ tintop I'd like to put a diesel engine into.

I know the Peugeot 1.9 and the Isuzu engines have been done but I'm really just looking for something small and simple, not even really looking for a turbo engine, don't need the torque and power of these larger engines, really just something reasonably light that will move me around.

The older and simpler the better really.

Anyone done or heard of anything like that?

Am I right in thinking the 106/Saxo 1.5 diesel would fit?

What is the aim for this build? There's not really such a thing as a small and light, simple and easy to fit diesel, they all need quite a bit of work. Plus anything that small isn't going to be great, even n/a 1.9 diesels are pretty gutless in an Sj.

As much as I hate diesels sounds like thr toyota 1n-t everyone fits here would be perfect

Bought a sj with a vw 1.9tdi engine in it and all I can say is my hamster can produce more torque in his exercise wheel! Fit. 1600 vitara lump you won't be disappointed

and you got over an inch extra height back from removing the diesel
