hi,
Does anyone here know how to add turbo to original engine of 1997 Toyota Prado GX 2.8 Diesel ?

can you just bolt a turbo and if yes, what turbo model and make?

any other changes to be made eg. radiator, tuning etc.?


thanks.

swapping with 1kz is expensive. It cost rm16k here.
i forsee that bolting turbo is cheaper.


swapping with 1jz or 2jz is not a wise choice since it will not be suitable in 4wd environment i.e. off-road.

3L with BOT with intercooler n turbo fuel pump running 15psi standard internal for 4-5 yrs. No problem at all, same theory as petrol turbo, must hv enuff fuel n make sure it is not running lean n it should serve u well
