Turbo SR20/CA18 would be something a little diffrent in a lux or even to keep it all toyota 4AGZE which is supercharged MR2 donk not huge power but still enough to have good fun. A mate also has the 2J whatever the code is twin turbo supra 2.5L engine in his 2wd so i can't see why it wouldn't go into a 4wd one and then it'll boogy.

Just like you can get "racing air" in your tyres from Bob Jane's. That'll make your ute faster too...

Any of the L series motors will retro fit, If you fit the 5L [3 litre engine] you will need to fit the 5L air filter
