I want to turbocharge my 96 avalon and I know there isnt anything out there for the 1mz-fe. So I was wondering is there another engine that I can put in that I can turbocharge and if so what is it.

yeah, the Avalon can accept a Chevy 427 big block. Might have to extend the hood upwards about two feet.

2jz that bishhh!

real question is how much money do u have to spend lol, chances are if u just got the avalon u got it cause it was a cheaper alternative to lets say a already turbod car? well add another like 4k to turbo the avalon, more if u wanna swap the motor

Get in touch with the one they call Tony the Tiger. He's on here.

^ + 1.
The 1MZ is a pretty reliable motor, so it can handle forced induction to a CERTAIN EXTENT. TRD made a supercharger for it but they are hard to find and a little pricey IMO. I would actually be more worried about the transmission than the motor. But like PhatRoyale sad, contact Tony the Tiger first.
