Factory Conversions

We believe that a successful engine conversion should look and operate as it did from the factory. While anyone can shoehorn virtually ANY engine into your vehicle; the fit, finish, & reliability will be terrible. At Diesel toys, we use year and model-specific powertrains so the results are a conversion that looks like it came from the factory...

OEM Engines

When choosing an engine for conversion, there's no reason to settle for a heavy, smokey, or antiquated diesel engine. At Diesel toys, we do not use bread truck engines, marine engines, or anything in between. We use factory Toyota or Jeep built diesel powertrains. It is our experience with this factory approach that makes our conversions stand out from the crowd. Check out our Conversion FAQs page for details and engine specs...

Professional Results

Whether it's relocating engine mounts, performing solid axle swaps, or installing a Saginaw steering conversion on that Fj40, experience is everything! Why go anywhere else? Diesel toys has been the industry leaders in factory diesel conversions since 2002...

 

Dropping the "Z"

When we originally opened for business back in 2004, we purchased both dieseltoys.com and dieseltoyz.com with the intention of using both. For some reason, in 2006 the DNS company we were using lost the domain rights to dieseltoys.com and we have been trying to secure DieselToys.com so we can drop the "z" from our name ever since. Well, we're pleased to announce that we have finally done so. We will keep dieseltoyz.com and begin using both dieseltoys.com and dieseltoyz.com as our primary addresses. We also have a new site coming in January so check back with us!

Why Go Diesel?

Off-idle Torque

1Whether you're rock crawling, or taking off from a stop light, torque is what gets you moving. Since diesels make most of their torque at low rpm, it's not necessary to race the engine to get moving. This saves fuel and reduces stress on driveline components.

Increased Range

2Diesels are 25-30% more efficient than gasoline engines of equal displacement. This means you get dramatically increased range on the same tank of fuel. With a Diesel toys conversion, you'll no longer be limited to the nearest gas station.

Fuel Flexibility

3Rudolf Diesel originally designed his engine to run on peanut oil. With fuel prices soaring over $5 per gallon, it makes sense to have a vehicle with multiple fuels available. Biodiesel, WVO, and SVO are not only environmentally friendly fuels, but they can also be much cheaper to use than petroleum diesel.

inFocus

Longevity

4In order to withstand the high compression ratios, diesel engines are built much stronger than gasoline engines. As a result, it's not uncommon to see diesels with 500,000 miles on them and still running strong!
