$20K on a stock FZJ80 motor and I think it is safe to say you will be WELL over 1000hp and will eat that LSA alive and have some left over (yes Trans will need some love at that point).
you can send me a test turbo and ill test it here in Yuma. lol you might have to twist my arm tho...
my concern is if the transmission will hold up

I've got my Tacoma in the shop getting some new additions. It's been in the 70's here for a few days and I've been jonesing for my little supercharger. Winter is the Season of Boost. This year I'll have a smaller pulley.

I’m trying to make arrangements to head over to the pipe manufacturer to sign off on the J-pipe before they run thru the whole batch. I won’t be able to get over there til next week only because of my current schedule. Sorry, lots of irons in the fire right now. They sent over some pics of the T4 flanges and exhaust manifold flanges before they cut welded up.
Thank God I am not the only one that thinks this way. I said in his IG when he posted this that it makes me horny! I am sick!

I sold a TRD S/C to go turbo, that’s how much I’m into the snails.
The way this is progressing I don’t regret it at all.
Can’t wait to see a real RPM / tq curve from one!

Ditch the fan, foam it in to the rad so the engine fans pulls the air, if you must go water to air....

We only have one engine fan here in the states. The addition of a SPAL fan replicates your JDM A/C fan.

same here.
Unless a Sahara with twin AC.
Blue hub fan and some foam is all you will need.

Not aware of the common observation about poor low speed AC cooling performance?
If nothing else, that's what the air flow boost is for.
Turbo intercooling isn't the only consideration, you know?
On the other hand, it is a big clue about heat exchanger performance needing some help sometimes, including the intercooler.

When I put my IC in front of my AC condenser removing the electric fans I have there .. my AC was crap .. had to go to mounted.
Although it's a different scenario for your WIC radiator core, the presence of an additional item in front of my AC condenser was just plain bad idea giving the surrounding temp conditions my 80 works on ..

Did you foam it in to the radiator so the engine fan pulled all the air through it ?
