New world Toyota, make things as light as possible to meet emissions requirements and lower costs. The 1FZ/2JZ/3S/1st gen 1UZ/etc are the last generation of over built Toyota engines.

2JZ is a can of worms. But regardless, a great platform. I’d love to swap a 2J into the new Supra or dare I say... BMW

Amen.
The 3UR is good, but a guy whose “pushing the envelope” for us Tundra guys over on Tundratalk is a Yota dealer tech tech up in Canada, been building the ‘Dream 5.7’ us other guys almost expect the same path even just doing a smaller S/C pulley.
I’m still NA, and prob will stay that way with the 3UR - but I am liking some moves Joey is making, and not regretting selling my 1FZ S/C kit.

I don’t even own an 80 series anymore but this is the only thread I keep track of since day 1.
I kind of like the “can of worms” in my garage. And we edge ever closer to the 200 page point.

Please tell me how the 3UR sucks. I don't mean that sarcastically, I would love a reason to stop lusting over the 200 that I cannot afford.
In other words, new generation car design are build with "Profit" in mind. The golden era of the 90's "Japanese" sports performance cars and utility vehicles were long gone!!!

Well I don't think 90s Toyota vehicles were built without profit in mind but I do understand the argument you are trying to make.

Toyotas are no longer blatantly over built that's for sure.
Endless opportunities in that can.
I have demolished two toyota trucks in low-speed fender benders. Once was a 5mph impact with a 1992 honda civic. The civic won a decisive victory over a mid 90's 4runner.
Let's just say they were mechanically overbuilt.
Or built to shrug off neglect.
So, what is everyone thinking to do about the computer when you want to go with more boost? I see myself with this turbo and when the 97 is 25 years old I won’t be hampered by emissions and I’ll want to increase boost. It’s already happened with my supercharged Tacoma. The computer hasn’t been an issue on the Taco and I’ve already stepped down twice on the pulley. The third pulley is at my office... once you feel the difference you want more.
The computer sucks. Once you reach a certain boost level you will want a stand alone working in parallel with the stock ECU.
Exactly. That’s new territory for me. I can say those words, but I don’t know what that entails. There was a rumor that Haltech had a harness in development to work with our rigs. Im just curious what direction you guys would go.
If you don't have emissions to worry about, find a tuner that is really familiar with his engine management program, be it haltech, AEM, Megasquirt, etc, and pick his brain. When you find someone you're comfortable with, let them guide you on installation and setup. Personally, I would hand the whole project over to a professional because the wiring alone looks like a can of worms. 
Oh, I’ll need professional help. I’d really like to learn this stuff though because it’s clearly the future.If you don't have emissions to worry about, find a tuner that is really familiar with his engine management program, be it haltech, AEM, Megasquirt, etc, and pick his brain.

I don't know if megasquirt is the best setup (it's probably not), but it is the DIYer's top choice and there is tons of info across the interwebs on setup and tuning for just about every EFI vehicle you can think of. Googling megasquirt setup is probably a good way to familiarize yourself with some basic concepts and concerns with stand alone.

Wolf EMS do a plug in setup for an 80 and I believe that it's got the capability to control the auto as well.
No experience with their products but might be a good option.
