Year

1997

Vehicle Model

1. 80 Series

Mileage

215000

Color

Silver

This is a preliminary / partial listing:
Some of you will recognize my freshly bored, stroked, and turbocharged 5.2L 1FZ-FE 80-Series from its build thread.
Started with a clean, rust-free, Collector's Edition in Desert Dune + OME springs + Kumho 35s + Aussie Locker rear...
Just spent two years and $40k+ on professionally built engine with billet crank, H-beam rods, JE pistons, Borg Warner 7670 turbo, stainless piping, second ECU; new slotted rotors and performance pads, new shocks, new ARB bar, etc.
Special price for Mudders is $36,000 (assuming I get first right to buy this beastie back @ same price if you ever sell).
[Pro Tip: Don't buy this if you live in a DEQ test zone. It has emissions equipment, but it's not a stock Prius. ]
I'm out of town through the first part of June; will field inquiries and post a proper listing then.

Someone is getting a beast of a rig

That price is unreal. If I didn't have two projects right now I'd buy this in a heartbeat.

Could you post the build thread link?

 

[Seneca]

Does this get 25+ mpg mixed use? If not, I’m not not interested.

1FZFE 5.2L Turbo Build

This is what happens when you allow scope creep on an engine oil leak in your 80... Finally nearing completion on the subject build after a really looooong wait. Turns out there's a good reason we don't see many of these outside Dubai's sand drags; a lot of experimentation and custom machining...

Interior shots? Other condition comments?

Interior shots? Other condition comments?

Soon; out of town until June 10th.

>>>Interim trivia, with more to follow:

Straight body with original paint; a few superficial door dings (2-3) and a few shallow scratches that aren't very obvious, mostly on rear hatch (thanks to prior owner )...

Original interior w/ redyed front seats + heated front seat elements with OEM/JDM switches + double-Din Bluetooth w/ Sirius XM (kept original deck) + backup cam + original third row seats + original floor mats + fitted Weathertech mats. Many switches and shift grip refreshed.

Fresh mil-spec black cosmoline on frame and axles.

***Again, I won't have more pictures until June 10th.***

Would love to take a look when you're back in town. I'm local. Will send you a DM.

A few other notes / minor projects:
1) Power windows run pretty slow in cold weather, as usual...
2) High-beam switch is tired sometimes...
3) Power to roof for amber Hella x 3 not wired yet...
Also:
*Cruise and Pwr/2nd trans modes rendered inoperable due to second ECU; as if it really needs a "power" mode anyway.
More pictures coming in a few days (e.g., interior, chassis, etc.).

what is the power "feel" now that you have souped up that 1FZ?

Like it has two engines under the hood; one is a 1FZ-FE, and one is the jet turbine from an Abrams tank (including cool sound effects). It requires very little throttle to drive like a normal Cruiser. Power curve is shaped similarly, just WAY more HP and torque at the wheels - basically twice as much... Full throttle in 2nd is borderline "oh, sh!t", so i don't do that much...

This is the quantitative answer...

There's 370awhp and 500 lb ft to work with (at the wheels).
