I'm going to swap a standard 92 1UZ into my 4Runner and then mount an Eaton 112 on it. They're cheap (3-500 bucks) and relatively new roots style chargers, but the cost of the manifold is kinda expensive (800 USD I think). On top of that, an intercooler would be hard to fit on/in my cramped engine bay. It all comes down to cash flow.

Finish getting your engine rebuilt yet Mikronized?

Could you do me a huge favor and take pics of the motor mounts and the oil pan and exhaust manifolds? I'am putting a 2UZ into a 93 2wd so any info would help. Great project so far!!

I know that you said that you are frankenstiening (i made up a new word) the transmission and transfercase,
I was just curious to see if anyone has tried putting a dirvorced t-case behind the stock lexus transmission,
I think they have that weird triangle output, but it still might be possible
just a thought.......
i can't wait to get out of college so i will have money to do this kind of stuff (shouldn't have waited 5-1/2 years in the military to start school!)
looks good so far

yay progress.
