Older diesels don't produce much power, and the 1KZ-TE is no exception. They get their performance from torque.
Is this a real Hiace you have? (Real Hiaces are forward-control, H10, H20, H60, H100 and H200 series, the latter being the current model introduced in 2005).
If it is front-engined, then it's not a Hiace (never mind what badgees it's wearing), but an XH43 Regius/HC40 Granvia (or "Touring Hiace"... these three are identical apart from nose treatment, though I suspect that the Regius is a narrow-bodied version; Toyota makes a number of models in two widths). The Swedish-market "Hiace" is a Regius or Granvia, supposedly with a longer wheelbase than the Japanese-market examples, which are all short. I haven't actually seen an image of a Euro-market 1990s "Hiace" but sent an image to someone in Sweden, who agreed that that was what they got. Dunno about England... they certainly got the H20 series, I saw a black one in some cop program once. Both the 100-series Hiace and the Regius family were available with the 1KZ-T, though the current Hiace has a totally different (DOHC) 2.5 1KD-FTV or 3.02KD-FTV.
Anyone have an image of a front-engined Euro "Hiace"?
