Replacing an engine for Revo from gas to diesel is this possible?

**Battousai1** · May 12th, 2013 05:03 PM

Hi guys! I recently bought a 2nd hand Toyota Revo 1.8 gas with automatic transmission for a very cheap price, after a few weeks of driving it I realized that the vehicle is not that fuel efficient however I love the ride as the suspension, under chassis and everything still feels new. I was thinking has anyone here tried replacing the engine of a Revo from gasoline to diesel, I tried looking for diesel engines at sulit but cant find any. Is there any shop that sells diesel engines for a Revo and if there is how much usually is the price? also if replacing the engine is possible will there be someone who will buy my gasoline engine even for a very cheap price or just swap my gasoline engine then I will add cash for a diesel engine?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Not worth the hassle and money. Not quite sure about the cost of the engine, but the swap would likely cost you some 60-80k pesos. And that's before fixing the registration of the vehicle. Might as well trade it for a diesel variant for the same amount of money, less hassle and better reliability.

Another option is to go LPG or buy a diesel variant. The engine swap won't be too feasible IMO.

Thanks guys, yes you are right... I didn't thought about the registration which is a hassle too. Probably I will just sell the unit then save up for a diesel one...

There's a reason why you got it cheap. Gasoline-fed AUV and SUV tend to sip more fuel.

Ganyan din balak namin, kaya lang naisip namin yung gagastusin mo pang convert sa gas to diesel eh .,super mahal na and wala ka pang kasiguraduhan kung magiging ok ang pag kakagawa , kaya ibenta mo nalang yung revo mo na gas, tapos bumili ka ng diesel variant, kasi yung pera na ipang papa-convert mo sa diesel eh, ipang dagdag mo nalang sa pambili mo ng bagong revo . ;)

Benta mo na lang yang gas revo at bili ka diesel revo.

i agree. the more practical course is to sell the gas revo and buy a diesel.. less headaches that way, and as a doctor, i can tell you that this type of headache may not be remedied by the usual tablets..

the cheapest solution was already mentioned by one member, install an lpg tank from a reputable lpg converter wherein you can use gas or lpg, daming mga high end cars na nagpaconvert ng lpg so i guess there would be no hassle if you install one in your revo basta sa reputable shops lang at current prices of auto lpg it would take 4-6 years para mabawi mo nga lang ang ginastos mo that is kung di tataas ang price ng auto lpg for the next 4-6 years(but as a consolation it would still be cheaper than gas and baka mas mahal na magpaconvert by that time)

i tried asking about this before, a good and safe LPG installation is around 50-70k.
