Where can I find somewhere in Australia that can put a turbo kit on to a 2002 Landcruiser 4.5 auto?
I'm interested in having it dual fuel too.
Bit of a stretch - but anyone actually got one of these things?
Cheers

Haven't had it done, but I've found two options.
- AVO 4x4
http://www.avo4x4.com has what equates to the Safari kit approx $7500
- Found a place in Sydney that will install a supercharger kit straight onto it for $5000
I'm now running a Parnell VSI LPG system - electronically controlled vapour injection into each of the manifold runners.
Problem is... The regulator I have will not be able to supply enough LPG to fuel the engine when I boost it at all.
It's running nearly at capacity now.
My two paths are:
- looking into getting another regulator installed, so fuelling won't be a problem, just tuning
- Put a switchable supercharger (A/C clutch) on, so that when on LPG it does not use the supercharger - avoids leaning out under boost
Dunno, for the moment I've had other things to spend money on than a turbo or supercharger... but I'm still plotting...

I'd do it at a drop of a hat, but nearly everyone has said that you get about 300kms from the tank..........and thats a 150-200kms drop for me. Unless some people and tell me otherwise.

I have an auto 4.5 turbo intercooled 80, and depending on how you drive it, i get around 400-450 around town, and 500-550 on the hiway. Mike Vine turbo's at capalabah does them aswell, don't know his number, but it is in the yellow pages.

No worse than my current setup for some reason is getting 22L/100 of ULP (range 400km on main, 260 on sub, total 660km from 145L ULP) and 30L/100 of LPG (Range 240km from 72L).
Total range of 850-900km. That's driving like a granny too. :(
Maybe a turbo or S/C will HELP my economy!

I get that from the main tank, using premium unleaded. If you drive with a lead foot, which is mostly the reason for the turbo , consumption goes through the roof!!! but generally 400-450 around town driving normally. [/quote]
