Replacing an engine for Revo from gas to diesel is this possible?

[Battousai1]

Hi guys! I recently bought a 2nd hand Toyota Revo 1.8 gas with automatic transmission for a very cheap price, after a few weeks of driving it I realized that the vehicle is not that fuel efficient however I love the ride as the suspension, under chassis and everything still feels new. I was thinking has anyone here tried replacing the engine of a Revo from gasoline to diesel, I tried looking for diesel engines at sulit but cant find any. Is there any shop that sells diesel engines for a Revo and if there is how much usually is the price? also if replacing the engine is possible will there be someone who will buy my gasoline engine even for a very cheap price or just swap my gasoline engine then I will add cash for a diesel engine?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Not worth the hassle and money. Not quite sure about the cost of the engine, but the swap would likely cost you some 60-80k pesos. And that's before fixing the registration of the vehicle. Might as well trade it for a diesel variant for the same amount of money, less hassle and better reliability.

Another option is to go LPG or buy a diesel variant. The engine swap won't be too feasible IMO.

Thanks guys, yes you are right... I didn't thought about the registration which is a hassle too. Probably I will just sell the unit then save up for a diesel one...

There's a reason why you got it cheap. Gasoline-fed AUV and SUV tend to sip more fuel.

Ganyan din balak namin, kaya lang naisip namin yung gagastusin mo pang convert sa gas to diesel eh .,super mahal na and wala ka pang kasiguraduhan kung magiging ok ang pag kakagawa , kaya ibenta mo nalang yung revo mo na gas, tapos bumili ka ng diesel variant, kasi yung pera na ipang papa-convert mo sa diesel eh, ipang dagdag mo nalang sa pambili mo ng bagong revo . ;)

maybe you have seen the old fx taxis running with diesel engines. ang orig makina nyan, 7k. all you need is a surplus diesel engine and carrier ng differential. you have a lot of choices for surplus engine. you can buy toyota 2c or mitsu 4d56. if youre on tight budget, hyundai d4bx is a good choice. by the way, mitsu 4d56 and hyundai d4bx is almost the same. madali lang ang conversion nyan, hanap ka lang ng shop na hindi taga ang presyo. it could be done in 2 days.

What's the point? Why swap a perfectly fine, working engine for a secondhand diesel of dubious quality from a wrecker?

The conversion, at the very least, will cost some 60-70k pesos. Lucky if he can get a Revo engine... if he has to get an FX diesel motor (which, let's face it, is old and underpowered, a poor match for the Revo body), then the price won't go down that much (if at all), because some adaptation and machine-shop work will be needed to get it to mount properly. And then you have to switch gauges, because the tachometer for the gasoline engine won't work with the diesel.

Then you have to change registration, which, from experience, is a freaking hassle with all the paperwork you have to fill out.

And in the end, your 250-300k Revo ain't worth ****, because swapped cars are very hard to sell. So not only are you out 60-70k in swapping costs, you're also out another 50-100k in lost resale value.

Or... he could just sell the gasoline Revo, add some 40-50k pesos, and buy a diesel Revo, instead. If he's lucky, he can get a diesel Revo for almost as little money as he sells the gasoline one, for. Much better deal.

this makes sense. it simply cost-benefit analysis. we always go something that offers a lower price without compromising quality. i have seen a lot gas-fed engines converted to diesel ones. it works fine and serve its purpose, fuel efficiency. yup, there are extra work such as entry in the registration.

pwede, malaki naman ang engine bay ng revo e, yung nga lang a lot of customization works ang gagagwin, engine mounts/brackets, transmission supports etc.

OT: meron nga liteace na naka-4AGE,

anu poba makina ng revo na di gas

[Retz]

Hassle lang yan sir, better buy a diesel revo unit in exchange of your gasoline powered revo.

[beni23]

Benta mo na lang yang gas revo at bili ka diesel revo.

[dr. d]

i agree. the more practical course is to sell the gas revo and buy a diesel.. less headaches that way, and as a doctor, i can tell you that this type of headache may not be remedied by the usual tablets..

the cheapest solution was already mentioned by one member, install an lpg tank from a reputable lpg converter wherein you can use gas or lpg, daming mga high end cars na nagpaconvert ng lpg so i guess there would be no hassle if you install one in your revo basta sa reputable shops lang at current prices of auto lpg it would take 4-6 years para mabawi mo nga lang ang ginastos mo that is kung di tataas ang price ng auto lpg for the next 4-6 years(but as a consolation it would still be cheaper than gas and baka mas mahal na magpaconvert by that time)

i tried asking about this before, a good and safe LPG installation is around 50-70k.

D4D requires complete rewiring for the electronic controls. You will have to check how Toyota wires the Innova. If it has body modules that need to interface with the ECU or if you can simply rip out the entire wiring loom and splice it in. Then you will need to customize the fuel tank and lines, since the D4D uses a high pressure fuel pump and fuel lines.

ohI may thread dito parang 15 k daw tapos may fb page of the works and it also shows the bad practice of some conversion shop

if it would be 50-70k that would never be worth it
