Toyota KD engine

The Toyota KD engine is a series of diesel engines produced by Toyota as a modernization and successor to the KZ engine series. The first, the 1KD-FTV, appeared in August 2000 and was first used in the J90 Land Cruiser Prado. It is a 3.0 litre, 2,982 cc straight-four common rail D-4D diesel with a variable nozzle turbocharger and intercooler, 16 valves and double overhead camshafts, with a bore and stroke of 96 by 103 millimetres and a compression ratio of 17.9 to 1. Its common rail system works at pressures of up to 1,350 bar, about eight times that of conventional injection, and uses pilot injection to smooth operation and reduce noise. Toyota states the 1KD produces 17 percent more power with 11 percent less fuel consumption than the 1KZ it replaced. The 2KD-FTV followed in November 2001. Applications include the Land Cruiser Prado, Hilux Surf, HiAce, Fortuner, Dyna, ToyoAce, Hino Dutro and Hilux. In the Transport Atlas it represents Toyota common rail diesels.
