    Builds Fix'n up the Land Cruiser.....

    What's there to really reverse engineer? Wit's end just pieced a kit together more or less.

    Bolt on turbo kit

    I can't speak for any other manufacturers or anything newer than the 90s but I do know the turbos on the MK2 Mr2 and MK4 Supra came water cooled from the factory. Those turbos lasted forever. Like anything it needs to be correctly installed and I'm sure there's plenty of documentation out there...

    Bolt on turbo kit

    I'm kind of surprised you don't see more people just running the HD automotive kit with an internally waste gated turbo. I imagine there's a good bit of people who don't run anything higher than 5-6 psi anyways. Reduces a good bit of piping and then all you need to do is run a downpipe...

    Series 80 engine rebuild or swap options?

    I imagine if you could find a supercharger kit brand new at a much more reasonable price, you might see more people going that route over engine swapping. $5k for a used unit is a tough pill to swallow. Nevermind the fact that don't come up for sale that often. The 1FZ does respond really well...

    Series 80 engine rebuild or swap options?

    I don't know how anyone can say that in good faith unless you're running stock tires and no armor. I've driven a 1FZ LC (35s and armored) at sea level and it still is an awful experience.

    Series 80 engine rebuild or swap options?

    If I recall the 4L60 is a pretty bad transmission and shouldn't be used. The 4L80/85 was a significant improvement in the design.

    Series 80 engine rebuild or swap options?

    The people with the few pristine unmolested low miles 80 series are losers in the game of life. Complete failure to enjoy a piece of machinery designed to go offroading. A 2UZ 80 series would probably fetch the same amount of money, heck perhaps even a bit more but that's a swap that requires a...

    Series 80 engine rebuild or swap options?

    From what I've seen, any quality done LS swap is likely to yield a higher price than any high mileage 80 series on BAT. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1991-toyota-land-cruiser-35/ and it's a freaking 91! The 1FZ is woefully under powered for the vehicle and really makes driving the vehicle...

    Still have it? I'm likely going through Louisville in about a week and could pick it up.

    80 vs 100 series at altitude

    What's your level of mechanical/electrical skill set? The reality is an 80 series is a 25+ year old vehicle that likely needs a good bit of maintenance to bring it back to functioning 100%. It's almost a guarantee you're gonna need to drop some coin on it unless you get a BAT (bring a trailer)...

    80 vs 100 series at altitude

    I've already done a ton of work on my 80. The last major mod for me is an LS swap which hopefully I'll be starting in the next 5 to 6 months. There's a far difference between what broski said about technical wheeling and offroading/overlanding. If you're gonna drive on Prichett Canyon and those...

    80 vs 100 series at altitude

    Oh absolutely, I agree. If technical wheeling is your thing I'm all down to watch people do it. The outcome of body damage / flipping the vehicle / flopping is too high for me. I just don't enjoy wrenching on a vehicle that much (would rather play guitar / snowboard / etc.)

    80 vs 100 series at altitude

    Personally to me any trail that narrow I don't really want my vehicle on it anyways. Offroading to me is more about getting out and seeing cool places vice driving over rocks.

    80 vs 100 series at altitude

    Yeah I've seen your 5.3 swap and it looked clean. I'm much more comfortable doing an engine swap than I am doing a SAS. I agree that it can be a superior platform for a trail rig. The 3rd gen isn't that uncomfortable but I do think an 80 is just a bit better in that regard (more head room and...

    80 vs 100 series at altitude

    I have a soft spot for the 3rd gen 4runners as well. I had one for 7 to 8 years. They just aren't a good platform starting out. If you're aiming to do a 3 link/4 link with a 2UZ swap, go for it. Otherwise I just don't think they are a good offroad platform since they don't do anything that well...

    80 vs 100 series at altitude

    I wouldn't consider a single solid axle swap to be pretty easy. Lots of people do swaps with terrible driveability. There's a big reason why SAS vehicles tend to have mediocre resell value. A solid axle swap is also likely going to be pretty pricey if you actually want to do a quality swap and...

    80 vs 100 series at altitude

    There's really nothing special Joey has done in regards to a turbo kit. It was a nicely put together kit but I wouldn't want to be dealing with him given all the current issues. It's not even like the kit was complete, you still had to take the downpipe and get it welded together. I'd buy an...

    80 vs 100 series at altitude

    Third gen 4 Runners pale in comparison to an 80 series. The front suspension on those 4 Runners are trash, you literally have to reinforce everything to make them a worthwhile off road rig. I speak from experience since I had a 98 4 Runner that was pretty modded out only to swap to a 96 LX450...

    For Sale So. Oregon: Hypertune 6 injector Intake manifold for Custom Turbo build$1500

    Sorry I meant "delete post" in regards to my post, not the thread. I had some questions about the exhaust manifold but managed to answer them myself by digging around. For the amount of power I'd want to generate, the J-pipe will do the trick.
