3UR-FE Swap

Destroyed two FA20s in the past two years. The second one was built and had a very graceful death because of a broken valve spring unlike the first one that went up into flames.

Long story short, I'm putting a Tundra/Land Cruiser/LX570 5.7L engine in this thing. My mechanic is very capable and has done multiple swaps before but never in a twin or with a 5.7 but we'll manage.

The reason behind choosing this specific engine is because I'm obsessed with it since 2011. I've had a Supercharged Tundra that ran 11.68 in a 1/4 mile and it's still holding the record of fastest Tundra in the world. The same tundra is being rebuilt by Dynosty, which some of you might be familiar with. It made over 1000WHP on the dyno with twin 6262s a few months ago.

This build is unexpected so for the first phase it's gonna be relatively budget oriented so for now:

- NA
- Stock ECU
- R154 (maybe T56 or CD009 if the price is right)

Engine should be here this weekend or early next week. Transmission I'm not sure about and I would like your guy's input. Hoping to wrap this up before New year's.

Future plans:

- Haltech Standalone
- Forged internals (optional)
- TRD Supercharger
