1995-1997 FZJ80, 1996-1997 LX450 Turbo Kit Stage 1 & 2

8-10 Weeks lead time 

The Cruisers and Company Turbo Kit supplies everything you need to have a running, driving, Turbo'd 1995-1997 FZJ80 or 1996-1997 LX450. Now there are more options than ever with the ability to take your 1FZ-FTE to the next level with our STAGE 2 kit! Read below for more info. 

STAGE 1:

Our kit took our test rig, a 1997 LX450 with 75k miles on the engine and 348k on the transmission, from 146HP/191FTLBS to 210HP/290FTLBS on 7.25 lbs of boost. That'ts nearly a 50% gain in HP and Torque. Utilizing the factory exhaust manifolds the turbo is mounted with a tig welded, stainless steel CNC formed J-Pipe that has a billet collector ensuring a perfect fit. Our J-Pipe has the fewest welds (5) out of any J-Pipe or Manifold on the market, making it more reliable. New Toyota hardware and gaskets are included to mount the J-Pipe. The J-Pipe is also braced between the collector and engine, adding even more stability for those times you are really using your 80. The downpipe is tig welded, stainless steel, and includes a flex bellow and M18x1.5 bung for an AFR sensor. To add reliability, we fitted a Turbosmart recirculating blow off valve so that the compressor wheel and shaft aren't unduly stressed in rapid off throttle situations. Water lines, oil lines, and the necessary adapters to keep your turbo running smoothly are included. All intake piping and clamps are included in the kit and will work with the factory early 80 series battery tray for those of you running a dual battery set up. To help with the heat management, we include a turbo beanie, 4 feet of Heatshield Armor to wrap the down pipe and AC line that runs past the J-Pipe. This kit is 99% bolt on - minor welding to join the factory exhaust to the downpipe is required.

What's Included in STAGE 1:

• Pulsar Turbo - Dual Ball Bearing Turbocharger
• 7.25 PSI Wastegate Spring
• Turbo Blanket

STAGE 2: THE NEXT LEVEL IN 1FZ PERFORMANCE

Take your 1FZ-FTE to the next level with our STAGE 2 kit. We have added a plethora of options so that you can have incredible HP and Torque without performing an engine swap. On the dyno our kit produced a substantial 364 HP and 481 Ft-Lbs. to the wheels at 14 pounds of pressure. That is more than most LS, 6BT's and 1HDT/FT/FTE's will ever make at the crankshaft, let alone the wheels. To put it in a different perspective, the new 2025 GX550 make 347 HP and 479 Ft-Lbs. at the crankshaft. This is truly modern power for your 80 Series and could be taken further if someone wanted to push for more.

Larger 800CC injectors, fuel pressure regulator, 340 LPH fuel pump, intercooler, and Wholesale Automatics Extreme Valve Body take the 1FZ to the next level.

• TransGo Shift Kit
• Cruisers & Co Front Mount Intercooler
• EMU Black Stand Alone Engine Management System w/ PNP Harness
