That engine was available with a supercharger; as it was called "Estima Supercharger", I assume that Toyota used a supercharger OTHER than a turbo.

Yes, it's a flat-4 and should fit right in there. Or the 2.2 turbo diesel equivalent...

But I guess neither of these engines was sold in the US. Either would be great. -- Andrew Grebneff Dunedin New Zealand Fossil preparator <andrew.grebneff@stonebow.otago.ac.nz> Seashell, Macintosh, VW/Toyota van nut
