Evil Ideas...80 Series Landcruiser petrol + GT45

[MR 1JZ]

The recurring theme is that eveyone in SA thinks everything is gay.......slammed cruisers are gay.........scissor doors are gay..........Richard Simmons is gay............is there a lack of women in SA or something?



Evo FTW. Do it.

dude that cruiser looks very try hard gangster

if it was black with black windows it could be pulled off...need better photos to make accurate judgement anyway

yeah evos are cool...still gonna buy me another MX73 for a "drift" car though

On second thoughts, get a ragtop SWB cruiser-like a late 70's one and do the 1FZ + turbo.

Lighter, and with the top down, waaaaay cooler. With good rubber it would lift the front wheels on the road.

It wouldnt fit with standard firewall. I barely squeezed the 1JZ in my old 70 series SWB.

The problem with the manual 4WD with big power is the gearbox ratio's arent suitable. On the strip I was changing into second before the 60ft mark bouncing off 7000 rpm, 1JZ didn't have enough balls to take off quickly in second. Became too annoying to drive around the street doing wheelstands everytime you took off

All depends how much you want it.

(I did fit one into the crown.....)

HOWEVER-you are correct-it would be a lot of work.

Start with an 80 series, refresh the bearings etc, fit with microtech, make exhaust manifold, fit GT45, win.

Did anyone have a look in street machine when they had that blown big block landcruiser?
that had about 600hp and was running through the stock front diff/transfer case.
the army dudes had pulled it down and they said it had chunkier gears/chains than than a GTR and they can handle big power.
i think you should do it, then use it to ram raid a city or something.

I'm with Mr 1jz here - that would make my life a whole lot brighter

You get to listen to people whinging about their problems all day, drive a nissan and listen to emo. Anything outside of this would make your life brighter

I am tossing up turbo 4.5 or gen3 v8 for my 80 series. It basically comes down to $$$$$ I could convince the 'boss' to let me piece together a kit but coughing up 6-10k for a full kit (eg CAPA turbo kit) will not happen.

Would anyone like to make a list of goodies for a good turbo kit? Fairly specific too, not just general crap like 'turbo' but a 'gt45 turbo' etc.

If i had a good list i could slowly collect bits until i was ready to put it all together. 220-250 rwkw would be nice.

That sort of power is a walk in the park for a turbo 4.5L. I haven't done this so could easily be wrong but here is my list

xr6t gt35 $1000
6 boost manifold $1100 I think
decent wastegate (tial, trust etc.) $500
top feed 550cc injectors $500 (from that injectorsonline place, may be cheaper?)
adaptronic $1100
ebay cooler $150
piping and silicone $300
3.5" exhaust with a HF cat $1000 (no cat $700)
bosch 040 intank $180
Unsure if you can use stock inlet manifold, throttle body etc. If you can then no costs, if you can't then have to get a custom manifold made up and I have no idea how much that costs.

Plus labour if you can't do it yourself. So those bits come to around $5700. That is about the cheapest reliable setup I reckon. May need a different fuel pressure regulator also if it isn't made for boost.

I would just spend a "little" bit more on stuff like fuel system as you know you would get the bug and with 4.5L and boost it just sounds oh so easy

Oh yeah, boost controller. $380 for greddy profec B at the moment or get a bleed valve for $30

if you're aiming for 250rwkw, why are you even thinking of a gt45? that's more 500rwkw territory a GT40 would be plenty.... even a 1.06 gt35r would get you that figure with plenty to spare.

other stuff? computer (your choice here, many options, from a few hundred to many thousands), 700cc+ injectors, custom manifold, 3" or 3.5" exhaust, big front mount (justjap job would probably be sufficient - good moneysaver. <$300), intercooler piping (will cost you more than your cooler!), external wastegate, boost controller... and I'm spent. and right there, you're over $6k anyhow

I drove a hyundai excel today I've gone far downhill from the R34

[MR 1JZ]

draven if I was to do it I would be going for the GT45 and aiming for 400rwkw...220rwkw in a 2.5 tonne truck would exactly be that fast

[Esteban]

Umm, Btw, that 80 series I was talking about, yeah, GT51 strapped on the side of it last night ... That's a 1000 horsepower turbo. Should go arright!
