Cool deal, just have to etch your logo on there myself.
etching is for anodize. It would need to be engraved
When I engrave the flanges I'll maybe throw a couple of these in.

So, has the new system been fired up or are you still fabbing?
What did the safari turbo set up cost all in?Its worth taking a look at Safaris Turbo system for design ideas. The Safari Turbo system in my 1997 80 series has been there since new and survived the weather in WA, CA, and most importantly the summers in Phoenix AZ where many SC suffer.
Will the intercooler be available for the S/C ?

Although instructions will be made for #80series #LandCruiser #1fzturbo I figured I’d go into a little more detail about the oil drain fitting. The oil drain is gravity fed back into oil pan but MUST be above the oil line...or else it’s dumb.
Since the 1FZ motor has two oil pans, we are going to be tapping into the upper aluminum pan. Once the center hole is marked and drilled then we need to make sure that the oil drain fitting is absolutely straight on with the hole AND the mount doesn’t shift when trying to mark the mounting hole locations for drilling and tapping. I will be supplying everything needed INCLUDING the Teflon dowel used to indicate the fitting...because I <3 U!

Asking out of ignorance, but why above the oil line? Also out of ignorance, why not return to valve cover? I have my thoughts/theories but figured I may as well ask.
Thanks..D
@scottryana when this turbo finally hits the street, what oil would you suggest for 220k motor that will see cold starts?
A lot of old timers (including my dad) swear by Castro 20w50, but I chewed up motor in subzero weather many years ago following that advice.
Given that we need about 10 quarts, I was looking at something along the lines of Rotella Synthetic 5w40, it’s diesel oil but IIRC it also meets gasoline specs and obviously designed for turbo use and about half the cost of Mobil 1.
