Toyota 4Runner Turbo
I wouldn't recommend it. Having done 190,000 km the engine is relatively old and worn, adding the stress of a turbocharger won't help it. On top of that if you make use of the extra performance you would get from adding the turbocharger, as most people do, you won't see the fuel economy benefits and you're likely to damage your engine.

Change of engine for Toyota
It is possible, but it is a radical implant and would require quite some surgery. You would need to check the physical dimensions of the Holden engine and gearbox to make sure it would fit under the bonnet, then have the driveline reworked to adapt hem to the Toyota drive train, and then there’s the fuel tank and system. Contact a Toyota four-wheel drive specialist and get their opinion. The alternative is to turbocharge the existing diesel engine, which might be the easier option.
