How could I make something like that in the US so it's emissions legal? If I take another turbo diesel engine out of a newer vehicle and put it in a newer 4runner would that work? New factory diesel engines in the US that meet emissions standards would work right? How much wiggle room does one have to work with when doing custom engine swaps?
Yup like Dauntless244 mentioned you should move the pod filter into an enclosed box, preferably in the wheel well (behind front bumper) so it will inhale fresh, cold(er) air instead of engine bay air. You'll definitely notice a difference. Plus you should always include an intercooler when you install a turbo - too much heat always leads to big problems.
Oh and yeah your 4runner fucking rocks - can't wait to get one myself (stupid school not allowing me to work as much).
lol, man its a diesel you cant really avoid the heat, somewere along the line the airs gonna heat up, intercooler would be nice tho, but the trucks finished. itll go on the next project. =P
Of course you can. Move the filter forwards and to the outside a bit, put a round airbox over it, and then fit a snorkel to that. This, with a decent intercooler (air to air will be fine) and you'll get a massive improvement, most likely just as much again as slapping the turbo on there gave you.
Actually hey where are you? Canada? You want to sell it?

Just needs a solid front axle conversion with front and rear ARB's and you'd have the perfect 4 runner. Nice job btw!
