Junki? IS that you?
Diesel engines run very high compression so yes, you would at least need to lower compression before going to any FI. THe injection pump will also have to be changed or at least modified to accomodate additional fueling under boost.
If those engines came turbo, then you can chase down parts and swap, if not, it going to be tough, and will cost a lot of money and will probably not be reliable.
I would not attempt it if there is not a turbo equivalent to get parts from. Too much risk of breaking sheit.

the kleenoil system has proven itself. at 20,000kms and going, oil is still clean and grey. however, the filter cartridge needs changing now, but meh supplier missing in action right now.....

Day 1: start of project.
hurdles to overcome:
manifold studs seized- soek with wd40
really dumb position of A/c compressor bolts
pre-installation- the victim
the original3L diesel pump:
the donor pump off the 2LT. this pump will be scrapped for the diesel aneroid. Toyota was smart in their design. the top of the pump can come straight off and bolt on to the stock pump without a single modification. if you look carefully at the two pumps, you can see the four bolts to be remove for the swap. what is an aneroid? this is what advances the pump to supply more fuel when the turbo is in use. it is a simple vacuum system. many person simply advance the fuel screw, but this causes black smoking at low revs, and burns more fuel.
after installation engine bay pic: (will post more pics soon of the actual install)
turbo, manifold and one set of piping in.
odds and ends, after one hr of installation
All parts for this project were sourced from a 2LT 2.4 toyota diesel engine. the 3L was designed to be turboed. don't let anyone fool you. some dead give aways that toyota meant to turbo this engine are the fact that turbo manifold bolt holes are pre drilled on the head already, vacuum hose hard lines leading straight to where the turbo unit is are already there, straight swap of diesel pump aneroid onto the 3L pump. same hold true for the 2L naturally aspirated engine.
now as you can see, i didnt connect the turbo to the intake, since i am missing these parts. any help me out here will be appreciated.
tomorrow:
hook up blood (oil) to the turbo. the existing line on the turbo fell exactly on an oil vein on the block. direct bolt up.
hook up pyrometer and boost guage
source turbo timer
temporilly adjust diesel screw, pending installation on aneroid by YAV autoserv

yup, that was i.....went to llok for that missing intake hose and elbow. very elusive. aftermarket elbows are too long. the oem is specially curved for the a/c compressor back end

nice...i''m truly impressed...yuh really going sll out to be an SR5....
Posted: January 16th, 2008, 7:11 am
Lol! Nah, will still be an sr4
Posted: January 16th, 2008, 9:31 am
Very, very cool. Waiting to see more pics of the install.
(I'm pretty sure you're giving wagon some ideas there)

PROJECT COMPLETED! THE UTE RUNS LIKE A FRIGGING CAR. didnt turn up all the boost though, just running a humble 6.5ibs until the engine gets use to it. i felt a 50% gain in performance even with that little boost. but what really amazed me is how silent the engine is now. all i hear inside is the sound of the turbo spooling. going to install the aneroid on monday. pics later
