Toyota 2KD-FTV Engine

Toyota 2KD-FTV Engine is one of Toyota’s most trusted and efficient diesel powerplants, engineered to deliver excellent torque, fuel economy, and long-term reliability.

With a displacement of 2,494 cc, this inline four-cylinder DOHC 16-valve engine is equipped with a Variable Nozzle Turbo (VNT) system and an intercooler, allowing it to produce smooth and responsive power across all driving conditions.

Generating up to 142 horsepower (106 kW) at 3,400 rpm and 343 Nm of torque between 1,600–2,800 rpm, the 2KD-FTV offers the perfect balance between performance and efficiency, making it ideal for both city and heavy-duty use.

Specifications & Description.

Built with a cast-iron cylinder block and aluminum alloy cylinder head, the Toyota 2KD-FTV Engine ensures durability under high pressure and heat.
The Common Rail Direct Injection (CRDI) fuel system improves fuel atomization and combustion efficiency, resulting in reduced emissions and better throttle response.

This engine is widely used in models such as the Toyota Hilux, Fortuner, Innova, and Hiace, known for their rugged performance and reliability.

Each 2KD-FTV engine listed is hand-picked and imported directly from Japan, sourced from running and driving vehicles with approximately 50,000–60,000 km. Before listing, every unit undergoes a full inspection to ensure there are no cracks, leaks, or damage to the block or head.

This engine is an excellent choice for replacements, rebuilds, or upgrades, offering exceptional dependability, strong low-end torque, and easy maintenance for long service life.

Common Weaknesses & Maintenance Notes.

While the Toyota 2KD-FTV Engine is highly reliable, common issues may include injector wear or EGR valve clogging over time due to fuel impurities or short-distance driving.
Regular fuel filter replacement, EGR cleaning, and timely oil changes using high-quality diesel oil (e.g., 5W-30 or 10W-40) can prevent most problems. Proper cooling system maintenance and correct timing belt replacement intervals are also crucial to maintain long-term performance and reliability.
