Why is the 1KZ not utilized and praised as much as a modern 1KD or a 1GD as often? The 1KZ sure has its ugly issues but it can be resolved with some proper maintenance. I just don’t get it it’s a powerful little engine with 120-150 horsepower and 300-410nm of torque it’s a powerful little motor with Unmatch reliability it’s a great engine for what it is although sensitive to heat but it’s a great motor. Idk why Australias don’t utilize it much to go off-roading or overlanding you could push 300-400 horsepower out of this little thing without a head swap I’ve heard some only some 1KZs pushing 600-700 with custom internals but stock block and head
