I am thinking about converting my nissan 4x4 to a Td27T diesel engine.  I have heard of others wanting to do the same but have never heard the outcome. any ideas?

I am also planning to do the same. It would be wise to get an engine perfomance curve for the TD27 and the one for your current engine and compare though. Does anyone out there have access to an e-copy of the TD27 power chart?

I do not know about power curve but the TD27T is rated at about 100 HP at 4000 RPM and bare engine weighs about 430 lbs. At it rated max output speed it would have about 131 ft lbs of torque. I did find a chart on 6-33T Nissan diesel used in IH Scouts for a bit at link below. Might consider this engine.

hi, i have this engine in my YJ. No problem at all. very light engine, "cute power", its not a V8, its a small diesel engine....
I changed R&P to 4.88, stock nissan Tcase and transmission.

Did any of you do this swap, does the automatic require a tramission computer, doing a swap I would imagine I would need to run ECU-less.

Well originally I was thinking a 1kt-te toyota but I hear the auto isn't all that good and it requires a transmission computer.    I prefer to drive manual, but my girlfriend can't drive stick.     It seems like fuel effecient diesels that have an automatic transmission are hard to come by.    So I was asking if the automatic tranmission in the td27 needs a computer or can it run computer less.   Having automatic glow plug controll is nice though

So did anyone finally do a swapout? I have a 99 Frontier w/V6/3+overdrive,Automatic in it. I want to throw in a td27tw/3+overdrive,automatic. I got it threw an importer in Cali. When he shipped it he cut threw all the wireing harness,so I don't even know if it had an ECU! I was getting 52 MPG's in Japan with the same truck,just Diesel engine.Soooo can I do it? Have any of you done it? Any referance sights you can aim me too?Thanks in advance,Bio
