Thumbs up

This looks very good at a reasonable $4000 from TRD. Check it out.

Are you trying to get your post count up or something Stelios?



Oh and a turbo is the best thing out there.....but not always practical for our cars .

the superchargers are nice -- no argument there.
the turbos are nicer, but more expensive and more difficult to find in the US.

TRD is no longer supplying superchargers for the 450 -- although I understand there are still some on the market.

It might be difficult to find a supercharger for the LX450 but I doubt you would have any trouble finding one for the FJ80 and for some reason I believe it may just work !

Yeah, it's the same engine. Same supercharger. I know that. The LX 450 and the Land Cruiser are both FZJ80s -- I know this too...

What I'm saying is that the blower is no longer available. That's all. TRD no longer sells the supercharger for the 1FZFE engine. It's a company decision. The ones that have been distributed to the dealers are available, but once that supply is gone, that's it.

Turbos are being manufactured, but are difficult to find -- and extremely expensive.

Maybe with mods it can be done. A member here figured out how to make the S/C for the GS 400 work on the GS 430...
