the Safari Turbo for the 80 is quite possibly the best engine enhancement ever.................

This would have to be my favorite 1FZ enhancement. They destroked it from 4.5 to 3.5, but they have it up to 1800HP. If only I had an extra 80K or so laying around plus $$$ for the rest of the drivetrain.

I don't think one is better than the other but which one suits your needs. I have started reseaching turbos a bit due to the fact I don't understand some of the lingo associated with them.
What I have determined are my needs and wants. Living in Houston, most good places to wheel are a decent to loooonnnggg drive to get there. Having better highway trips while towning a trailer are more important to me. I am quite pleased with how she performs on the trail in low so I don't need any additional umph there. I figure for my needs about 300hp and 350-400 foot pounds of tourque will do the job I want. Most of my needs happen to be between 60 and 80 mph.
I don't know which one will fit the bill the best, but i am steadily learning.

You need a turbo.
Beowulf, the mogs are running at least 30psi. My 2003 u500 camper was running 40 psi 2500lbs of torque. The Cat's, Volvos, & Cummins rigs thought a jet was taking off. Rolled it doing 60mph when a
53" inch michelin decided to ignite.
In ran 15psi in my 97 80 for years via a boost controller(thanks to Ben). I think the truck is in Utah with it's new owner & still no problems.

Can we get some more info on this. Did ben setup the whole thing?
It's good to have. I wonder how many supercharger owners fitted theirs with intercooler? Do I need anything else beside the kit?
Do a search by author Blarsen. He did a cutom top side IC with a subaru scoop. I think it is linked in the faq.
Pics too
-I will look for photos.
-The turbo was installed at man-a-fre
-Ben @ Slee handled the boost controller, EGT, & a lot of the build. I think it would dial up to 16 psi. I kept it between 8 & 12 psi once you get above that in the lower gears the tranny would slip. I would never run 15 psi in 1st & 2nd on an asin 343.
-I wish I could remember the owner in Utah who bought it, I traded it in for a New unimog at warner truck center. rg

I like to run mine 7-9 and that is plenty of whallop.......................
The 1FZ-FE will take more than that sure but it definately is gonna shorten the lifespan of the motor and its really not needed IMO.

After my warranty is up on my S/C, I might consider running a smaller diameter pulley if I can find one and if it doesn't cause me too many headaches with fuel metering etc.
I know CDan is running a smaller pulley, 3.0 IIRC, but he also has is WWII fighter jet methanol injection system. I'd rather not have to go shopping at an AF surplus yard for this type of antiquated system.
jkIf you are reading this Dan, how much extra boost did the smaller pulley give you? I remember reading about it a long time ago and I can't rember what thread it was in.

with the Turbo you can just run regular 87 gas? SC 91+ right?
how about internal work or anything else that you might need to run a turbo? or do you just set it up and good to go... how much HP can the stock internals take on an 80?
i was thinking to go to SC but now im leaning towards a Turbo after i take care of other things... where to i get more info on what turbos to run for the Cruisers, what sizes work best in mid range?
i hear you get 1-2mpg gain average with a turbo too?
currently im 70% turbo 30% SC lean. i had a Supra TT before, are those 2 turbos good for a twin set up on the 4.5 or would they be to small?

If you are seriously considering installing turbo, you need to sign up right away and be on ranma21's list. He is considering ordering Safari turbo kit and the response so far was overwhelming.

where where?
is tunning them a big deal? i heard some people had issues with turbos offroading and some issues in cold weather up up north.
can you run 87 gas with turbo, and will you get 1-2mpg gain?
The Safari list is sort of a joke.
Recently, on another turbo thread, someone contacted Safari, who said they would make a run of 25 @ about $6000 each.
Three people said they were in, hence the joke.
Good luck rounding up 22 more.
I am considering turbo myself.
These guys have a "kit", and their manifold design is similar to Safari.
Turbo-Glide: Landcruiser 4.5 petrol engine 2 piece cast iron turbo exhaust
The following is an email reply from them about the cost and completeness of their "kit".

I suppose a turbo would be nice if you had the cash. But it's hard to beat the bang for the buck with the drop in S/C.

Pm ranma21. There are two on the list so far. Hopefully, by the time we have 25, I have enough money saved up to pay for one.
