Im interested in the turbo truck...you should IM me with details Im in Colorado. Both rigs looks pretty sweet.
Back to the future used 3 truck or more they said.

I couldn't handle the auto tranny, so I got a non turbo and put turbo guts in it. No digital dash, but i'll take 5 gears and a clutch over a cluster from Back to the Future any day. 
Nice trucks though guys!
Here's my toy. I still have to go get a custom bumper made to cover up the fmic and house a winch. It should be pretty cool looking though with a tube bumper around the intercooler.
I also have a factory Turbo pickup. (For sale actually) It's totally stock though.
Yes I like the Turbos

Man, I wish they kept a design on the instrument cluster like that. I really like that. Of course slight changes, but it really does look good. Even better when its lit up

I think the digi-dash is cool.
And the trucks in back to the future weren't turbo LOL, you'd have heard it, and it did a reverse burnout... lol... and teh tach said he was revving 55-6500 RPM... lol must have adjusted it differently... if u rev up to redline and drop the clutch it's gonna do a burnout... lol...

I wish you could get a Turbo Diesel motor here in the US for the 4runner. I would consider making mine a Turbo Bio-diesel 4runner.
I've looked into it, but It seems that the motor is highly sought after and getting it here in the US is tough.

The interesting thing is that like most mid-80s turbos, they're overbuilt and underrated. With ECU control and a simple turbo upgrade, they're capable for ~200hp in stock form.

old pic of the desert truck we were working on when in was in school
i have a 1st gen that i plan on boosting...probably going to run a twin scroll GT30R and mess around with megasquirt.
rerouted the radiator line and welded a #10AN fitting onto the coolant line for additional clearance around the manifold/turbo/downpipe
built a 3.0 in. exhaust for the truck too, vband connections for quick disconnects/test pipes/open dp etc

I have pictures in my signature of the 87 Turbo Std Cab Truck with a Manual transmission. After the rebuild it really would tow really well.. Too bad I sold her.
