No that is a BW s366. It's 1mm smaller than the 42r and made over 100whp more on a cam only 2jz. It would be a waste of money to go any other route. Like you said with the proefi, it's super expensive but worth every penny. The exact turbo in the test is around $2000-2400 depending on where you buy it from


This video is of a 1000whp Supra with ProEfi, which has traction control. Car has full traction in 3rd gear. You won't get that with AEM. ProEfi also has a Flex Fuel option which is great. It's limitless

Proefi is great but i dont think he wants to drop almost 5k in a standalone with all the bells and whistles plus labor to install it. To me if your not racing the car on a daily basis or you get a deal on a proefi thats too much money, but hey if you got the money then go for it. Car looks good

I know what you're saying. I don't know what his personal money situation is like but I figured I'd at least mention what the best of the best is. I'm just the type who would rather do something right the first time. Not saying Haltech is bad, but I would just wait a few more weeks and pick up the best on the market. Haltech would definitely be my 2nd choice though without a doubt.


Haltech plus the BW S366 with double batmo wheel could easily net 150-200whp with the proper tuning


What does the engine consist of?
