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.
