At Steves Auto Clinic we have always suspected that the 4.5 D-4D V8 turbo diesel engine that hides under the bulging bonnet of the Land Cruiser VX200 fits this psychological profile. Surely there must be more to this imposing off-roader than the 173 kW and 615 Nm that the engine is rated for when it leaves the factory in Japan! It is after all fitted with two turbos, so power should be no problem.

New SAC upgrades for the Toyota Hilux and Fortuner offers truckloads of power and anti-theft option

Two things can be said of the Toyota Hilux and Fortuner 3.0 D-4D engine: its durability and reliability is well proven after 10 years on the market and its once-impressive performance figures are now overshadowed by its competitors.
The 3.0 D-4D engine (or D4D in many people’s references to the engine) is one of the most popular engines in the SAC Performance Centres. Customers bring their Hilux or Fortuner 3.0 D-4D engines to SAC because they know that SAC has improved the performance on hundreds of these engines and because they know that SAC has continued with the testing and development of engine upgrades for the D4D.

The three Land Cruiser 70 Series models – the 76 Station Wagon, the 79 Single Cab and the 79 Double Cab – all now run this powerplant that delivers an impressive 151 kW of power at 3 400 rpm and 430 Nm of torque from as low as 1 200 rpm that is held all the way to 3 200 rpm.
