22rec To 22rtec Conversion

[LDOODARINA]

SO I JUST BOUGHT A 1985 TOYOTA 4RUNNER. IT'S IN GREAT CONDITION, SET UP FOR OFF ROADING... IT'S JUST MISSING A MOTOR. I'M LOOKING INTO BUYING A TARGET MOTOR- MOTORS SOLD TO THE US BY JAPAN DUE TO EMISSION CONTROL LAWS. I WANT A 22RTEC (SAME AS ORIGINAL ENGINE, JUST ADDED THE TURBO). I'M NOT SURE WHERE TO FIND A TARGET AND EVEN IF I CAN FIND THE ONE WITH THE TURBO.
IF NOT MY NEXT OPTION IS TO BUY A REBUILT MOTOR AND MACHINE AND CONVERT IT TO A TURBO.
I GUESS MY QUESTIONS ARE..

WHERE CAN I FIND A TARGET MOTOR?
IS THE TURBO BENEFICIAL FOR THE 22REC?
ANY KNOWN INFORMATION WOULD BE GREAT....

Since this is for an older vehicle you may have problems finding a recent japanese import, as an alternative you might try someone like http://www.taprecycling.net/index.php
