I love to see guys with a lot of big dreams and hopes. You have to understand that 600whp on pump gas is unrealistic. You have to invest in an engine management, big turbo, large injectors, Turbo Manifold, External Wastegate, BOV, Frount Mount Intercooler, Clutch Kit, Lightweight Flywheel, External Ignition System, (2) Fuel Pumps, etc. Add up all the other mods you plan on making plus the price of the swap....

I'd be happy with a 600 whp pump gas 2JZ setup, much less a 1JZ. I'm only expecting to have 350-450 on pump with my 67mm 2JZ NA-T.

In the long run, 600hp on a 1JZ will not be cheaper than through a 2JZ.

In my estimation, the point of diminishing returns on the 1JZ is probably about 400whp. Anything north of that and the 1JZ gets stingy while the 2JZ would barely be to its sweet spot.

ps. Supraforums guys jump through hoops to make 450whp on pump with a 1JZ.

Not sure what hoops they jumped through, but I made 455 @ 1.2 bar for $3000.

Nice! I was thinking about a 1JZ when I found a 2JZ-GTE block.

You don't need 2 fuel pumps or an external ignition system. The people doing the swap most likely already HAVE a FMIC, Clutch kit, and BOV. Injectors are easy to find, and manifolds and turbos can be had for great prices, especially on the already cheap 1jz. I'm looking at 7500 bucks for my setup. That INCLUDES the price of the car and the swap, and I'm looking to make around 550whp daily driven.

um there are tons of people making over 500 with a 1jz check supraforums/supramania a little bit more, its really not that hard.
