I have a 1990 4 runner 2.4 litre petrol (22R).I am looking into putting a turbo or supercharger on it.Im NOT looking for a 22psi wheelstanding monster,Im after a good performance upgrade without going to the extreme as its a daily driver as well as a weekend explorer.what is better for this application,turbo or supercharger?.What psi should i be aiming for as i chasing about 30 -50 extra horsies(more is better but)? Has a kit been made? Can i use bits and peices from different engines? Whats the dollor value for this upgrade.
I have considered fitting a holden V6 but am not wanting another hybrid car(other is a jag with chev)and feel that it would lead to driveline problems.
Thanx for the help gus and am looking forward to you opinions

It probably depends how much you pay for a suitable turbo or a supercharger, and how much fabrication work you can do yourself to make it fit. The supercharger will require the fabrication of a fairly sturdy bracket, a belt tensioner, and an extra pulley on the crank. The turbo will require the fabrication of an exhaust manifold and dump pipe, an oil feed, and a coolant feed. Both options will require some custom inlet piping and an intercooler of some description (actually that's optional, but highly recommended).

What about just some kind of engine conversion? Would'nt this be easier?
