V8 Cruiser Ute

Gday everyone, I was just wondering if anyone knows if the wiring loom for the engine of the single turbo and twin turbo cruiser engines are the same minus the loom to the second turbo? Also how hard/difficult would it be to fit the manifold and second turbo to it?

Cheers,
Josh

Re: what fuel pump to use for 304 efi 5L in a fj40

Run the walbro intank pump, most tanks are baffled unless your running standard cruiser tanks lol but if your going to run a surge tank you could just make it a twin turbo 5L and make use of the bosch 044 pump and surge tank :D

Re: Landcruiser parts from the USA

to start with the postage is steep, but as u add more items it doesnt change to much as long as you dont get something rediculous like body armor. but if you were going lockers the price wouldnt change much from 1 locker to 2 as i bought over some stuff for my LS1 and it cost $198 in postage

Re: 35's vs 37's

ok well guess totally scratch the 37's as it seems like hard work to have them on there.
Ive narrowed down to a choice of 3 tyres:
Cooper STT Armor-TEK 3 in 35's
Micky Thompson MTZ in 35's
Super Swampers IROK 36's

any recommendations on these 3?
