You really have to thank this small community. There are guys here that will give you the shirt off their back to help. There are many other boards where people would still be laughing at your misfortune. better send Bill a nice holiday gift. Lol
 
Yeah, I hear you and am thankful. Been on several runs with some of the guys on this list out in UT/CO and wound up buying my FZJ80 from a member in NM. Awesome group, and this is the only list I'm on as a result.
 
Ok guys, would you kindly please take a look at these pictures and see what you think? After what Bill fab'd, do you think I need anything else?
Thanks again for all your help.

Yes dude you are going to need all kinds of things. drive pulley, elbows, lines, etc. The only thing Bill made I would imagine is the bracket for the tensioner and pulleys.

Look at the pdf that Beno put together for you. Those are all the parts for the kit.

Tell us what you are getting from Bill, and then you will need to call Beno and order the rest of the parts.
 
Ok, got it. Thanks Scott. When I said "noob", I was being honest! ;)

I priced out piecing one together from parts.

MUD pricing brought it to about

$3251.20

I've attached the part numbers for everything still available.

Beno,
So I guess the question is, after seeing the pictures, knowing what Bill fab'd, and looking at your parts list, is there anything missing?
 
Photoman,
is the man!!! always figures out a way... impressive.

Well, except for the tensioner bracket and pulleys and the main SC assy (which the OP has already acquired), yes, pretty much the whole she-bang. Obviously, there are some nuts/bolts/hoses etc that are generic that would have to be sourced, but pretty much everything to install is there.

About $3k is all....

To clarify previous comments of mine to the M(ud)asses.

I ain't selling my SC for $5,500.00, but know a Mudder who'd be tempted to.

Pretty much figure you's is talking 'bout me, right 'Lancy?
::bad mobster accent attempt::

Ha, yeah - I would/was but decided to wait ~18 months to get a 200series, so going the full opposite & installing mine with a extra intercooling setup.
Long term I'd rather have a great 80 & a 200 then sell the 80 for any reason (was willing to sell 80 previously, begrudgingly)

:On topic:
Interesting to see it looks like the supercharger pricetag now is $1200 +$3300 +Bill's price.

Call me crazy, but I see more turbo setup build threads in the future (or a standardized V8 swap).
