Hi All

We have inherited a 90 series RV Prado with the 2.7 petrol motor and manual gearbox in mint condition with 125,000K on the clock which drives very nicely compared to our '91 LPG GQ Patrol with 300,000km.

We are considering keeping it for touring purposes and would throw suspension, tyres, roof rack, dual batteries and long range petrol tank at.

We have towed our 1 tonne camper trailer with it and it is just bearable in the power department (much like our tired Patrol).

Is it possible to turbo/supercharge these suckers without degrading the longevity and reliability of the engine and more to the point how much would this cost approx.?

If we could throw some cash knowing it will deliver the power/reliability we would consider keeping it as a tourer for the long term rather than changeover to something else.

What are your experiences/comments?

Cheers
GASGQ
