Clavious,
I was thinking and hoping the same thing!!! I have the most ridiculous spot for the turbo.... you guys will love it.
Update: Brakes and Power Steering work, suspension is fixed and tires all have air now. We have an old, beat up but very drivable Land Cruiser... now let's break it!

Hilarity Ensues...
Ok trying to get the base placement of the turbo.
My idea was to jam that bad boy directly into the carb, see picture 1.
But I was shot down... There are some serious exhaust issues with that side (steering and brakes are in the way). So we thought "well we could go remote turbo" sleeper style.
BUT HELLS TO THE NO! Sleeper? Come on!!! Can this bad boy really hide in the crowd? So the new plan is to mount turbo here.
Cut a hole in the hood.... instant CAI!, then run the intake track through our ghetto v-mount intercooler.... made out of the radiator of the second vehicle. YEAH BABY!
So the turbo and IC will be above the hood line... pure awesomeness.
Next is piping, and oil for the turbo. I am thinking supply from the Oil Filter and return to the valve cover??? The oil filter is right below the power steering pump in the second picture.

So does anyone know of any Land Cruiser Enthusiast Magazines?!? I can see the article title now "Land Cruiser + Turbo + Army divers in the desert equals...."

That is hilarious. Is that a 22RE in that truck? Have you checked some of the Yota forums? I'm sure they'd have a lots of advice on this!
Oh, and the South Park water/oil tank is pretty funny too!

Thanks for the feedback guys!!!
Feras - we named the cars when we first got them Divers Radical Death Machine 1 and 2 - 1 ended up as the parts car. As for the DRDM... we don't know if that is other people or us that end up killed.
Demon - the engine is the 3F not the 3FE (which would have been nice since it would have been fuel injected).
Clavious - if anyone knows a mag that might be interested let me know, and I will submit it or email them a link or whatever. As for your equation; the answer is most likely (broken land cruiser) HAHA but hopefully it will all work out.
PS. The engine has 225K Kilometers on it.... so we SHOULD rebuild it. But that will exceed our budget of zero dollars... so we won't.

Here are some "highly technical" specs for our exhaust manifold / downpipe. Our engineering process has spanned many hours as is the culmination of well..... ghetto.
Now that we have a basic shape and dimensions; we need to get our hands on some piping. Once we get oil lines, wastegate and hot side piping done we will install the turbo and make sure it runs and makes boost, then we will start in on the intake piping / sweet intercooler mod (aka radiator from DRDM 1) and finally the carb.
The flanges for the exhaust piping will come from the exhaust system; we are going to cut off the flanges and weld our piping to them, then we can bolt them on as half the manifold has to be installed below the engine and the other half above. So that ball of gray tape and manila folders will end up as two seperate pieces on the exhsuast side running to the turbo.
Still need a wastegate and blow thru carb.... anyone know where to get some cheap ones?!?!?

Sorry guys, apparently I still have to do my day job!
Well, updates:
- We made a new top - - - - sewed it together with 550 cord. Yesssss!
- We have a line on a wastegate for free (nevermind)
- We have the first half of the exhaust piping done, the second half MAY be done this weekend.
Also got some new seats..... and covered them with some nice pleature sewed with..... 550 cord. This thing is Baller status now.
Pics soon.
