    My 97 LC 2JZ manual swap build thread

    This is a truly fantastic project. I wasn’t aware of the electronic boosters and just spent an hour reading online. Please keep the updates coming.

    Buyer Advice Needed

    I would see if you could arrange a pre purchase inspection somewhere. The couple hundred dollars or less is worthwhile. If I was flying out I would definitely stop somewhere and do full fluids check and maybe change oil etc before departure. If it’s truly rust free then that is a huge benefit...

    Builds Pippy's 97 CE Build Thread (Now with TURBO)

    Nice numbers! Glad you found some success after all your hard work. I imagine a nice free flowing exhaust will see a substantial bump.

    Cruisers and Company 80 Series Turbo

    This is a nice looking kit and more options for the FZJ80 are always good. Have you thought about doing Haltech or similar packages? The OBD1 trucks would probably really benefit from one even without boost as Toyota's 90's fuel injection was kinda yuck.

    1FZ trans swaps 6R80 10R80 and more

    This thread is fantastic. Thanks for all the information and sharing your hardwork and investment. I really like the idea of a modern 6 or 8 spd transmission in a Land Cruiser. Having a transfer case adapter will also open the door to a multitude of possible engine and transmission combinations.

    1FZ-FE Stroker Build (5.5L - 102mm Bore - 115mm Stroke)

    Can you ask where they are getting crankshafts and other internal parts from? Is this a source with a website etc? Thanks and keep the interesting content coming!

    To Turbo or Not Turbo?

    If you want to keep it Toyota it would be a fantastic setup but I guess it comes down to health of the existing engine. Unfortunately most FZJ80's are getting way up there in mileage and facing a major overhaul or rebuild at this point. Many are going with a LS swap which is realistically...

    Looking to buy 80 series.

    Do not buy. There will be allot of rust hidden in rockers, dog leg etc and it's probably pretty rough underneath. For 10k you could find a much better base to start with and as someone above mentioned get a rust free as possible truck to start with. I live in Canada so I'm fully aware of how...

    rebuild or replacement 1fzfe

    If you are not a OEM purist just buy a decent engine rebuild kit, pull the engine and drop it off at a machine shop or engine rebuilder. Labour varies wildly depending on area but probably 2-3K assembled ready to go. OEM Toyota parts are obviously better and I would personally use them but if...

    Under 8 MPG

    Do you have a wideband installed to see what kind of air fuel ratios you have? That sounds way to low turbo or not if your just driving conservatively.

    GX Twin Turbo or LC 250 hybrid engine

    I had a Prius V previously and it was fantastic at what it was designed to do. I don’t think it’s a great comparison with the LC250 because the Prius are built solely for fuel efficiency and lack in good noise insulation etc as well as being a different hybrid setup. I would take the hybrid...

    HD automotive turbo kit

    Sorry I was referring to shipped cost but I see you posted previously it was around $300 for freight so that isn’t too bad.

    HD automotive turbo kit

    That looks great and has most of the hard parts done for you. What did it end up costing in USA dollars?

    HD automotive turbo kit

    There is basically nothing in that area. Would find it really hard to see why it wouldn’t fit

    1FZ-FE Engine Build Questions for a FJ40

    1- Stock compression is fine as there isn't any affordable non forged piston options to raise it. 2- Stroker kits start around 5K US for Spool motorsports or similar kits. Awesome idea but obviously expensive. 3- Definitely a little bit to be had with a good header design and free flowing...

    Turbo 1992 FJ80 3FE

    What are you planning on using for engine management? I'm sure a 3076 or similar will really wake up the 3FE and make it pleasurable to drive.

    Underside corrosion management/prevention

    Personally I used rustoleum and just touch it up when needed but there are some really high quality options out there depending on how much you want to spend and prep is probably the most important thing to ensure it can bond properly. I went on partsouq and ordered boxes of all new hardware...
