All depends on what your plans are, different uses for the vehicle, require various levels of modification, adding a turbo will help, a common engine conversion is the 3rzfe 2.7L engine and 3.8L commodore engine, i prefer the v8 personally, other mods are diff ratio changes, suspension, gear box and transfer mods and the list go's on, like i said what are your plans?

Probaly a rear locker at most incase of a muddy track and a winch for sure oh and don't forget XXXX or rum sticker if not fitted already

4 wheel driving

Depends how far you want to go to the above list maybe a set of gear and/or front locker and 2in suspension lift

How do you go Turbo`ing and 85 model ??? It would of had to of done at least a few hundred thousand K`s.
I was thinking of Turbo`ing my 85 model ( approx 400,000 km ) but was advised not to do it on such a worn motor.

Any comments on Turbo`ing and old motor ?

Rebuild the motor at the same time or run low boost, an intercooler would help too.
