pretty cool stuff.
I think I'm going to pursue the 1UZ swap. It sounds like just what I'm looking for- thanks for the encouragement!
I would want to stick with the R-154, so I would need to figure out adapter & motor mounts- could you shoot me contact info for your buddy?
Thanks... I'm kinda excited about it...
All very good info- thanks. I guess I'm just frustrated. I've had a dozen or so Toyota V-6's and I've been thrashing my Tundra for almost 300K with no issues- very dependable. In the early 90's I had an '88 N/A Supra that ran like a Swiss watch. then I got a '89 Turbo that fell apart faster than...

Just got a Supra again after I sold my 88 back in 93. LOVIN IT! My question is: I've heard/ seen/ been told it's not a good idea to run synthetic oil in a turbo engine. I've always run full synthetic in my Tundra & it's still runnin great after 300K, so I kinda like synthetic... can anyone offer...
Yeah I'm very happy with the car (gray fabric interior) Low miles, runs great!
I told my sons to be ready to take me to a doctor after it was delivered-
cuz I was pretty sure it was going to last more than 4 hours...
