1VD Double Turbo

The 1VD Double Turbo is built around the 1VD, a 4.5L V8 diesel engine with a DOHC, 32-valve cylinder head and turbocharged (single or sequential twin-turbo). Toyota's flagship V8 common-rail diesel for heavy-duty Land Cruisers. This unit is supplied by Tovesageneral Motors as a tested, ready-to-fit replacement for workshops and owners who need genuine factory characteristics rather than a generic substitute, and every engine is pulled from a running donor vehicle rather than sourced blind from an unknown history. Choosing a like-for-like 1VD over a cheaper mismatched substitute avoids the wiring, mounting and ECU-calibration headaches that come with swapping in a different engine family.

Key Specifications: Configuration - V8, 4.5L displacement. Valvetrain - DOHC, 32-valve. Fuel System - Diesel injection. Aspiration - Turbocharged (single or sequential twin-turbo). Power Output - approximately 202 hp (151 kW). Torque - 650 Nm. These figures reflect the factory-rated output for the 1VD in its most common calibration; individual market tunes, transmission pairing and emissions equipment can shift the exact number slightly from one production year to the next, so always cross-check against the specific model year of your vehicle.

Performance Highlights: Toyota's flagship V8 common-rail diesel for heavy-duty Land Cruisers. Expect the typical driving character of a turbocharged diesel v8: strong mid-range pull as boost builds, with a noticeably flatter torque curve than a comparable naturally aspirated unit of similar displacement. As with any used engine, we recommend a full service history review along with a compression/leak-down check before installation, plus a visual inspection of the timing components, seals, mounts, and ancillaries (alternator, water pump, turbocharger where fitted) prior to fitment.

Common Applications: The 1VD was factory-fitted to Toyota Land Cruiser 200 Series, Toyota Land Cruiser 79 Series. If you are sourcing this engine for a different chassis, confirm the exact engine code stamped on the block and the wiring/ECU variant before ordering, since several body styles shared this family across multiple model years and markets. Our team can help verify fitment against your VIN before dispatch so the engine you receive matches your loom, mounts and transmission bellhousing pattern.
