I am going to put the 4BD2T in a 97 FZJ80 that I just bought for the swap. I sold my 94 about a year ago in search of better mileage and bought a Volvo wagon, long story short, I miss the FJ80. I love the Volvo, especially the 27 mpg, but there is only so much you can do with it, plus it embarrasses my 14 year old son. The current engine has 130,000 miles and is in great shape if anyone is interested, I am just trying to make it something I can drive all the time without having to fill it up so often. I am hoping the 4BD2T will be plenty of power, being a turbo I am sure there are alot of easy tweaks I can do.
I will keep everyone posted on how the swap is coming
