yes, we've had multiple members put out high numbers by turbo'ing the stock motor.

SC300Dori

Cool I might not do that....But i was wondering...Might just go with a V-8of some sort...I'm a drifter so yeah torque is always a good thing....I guess i get to upgrade from the fan favorite Under steer happy 240sx thanks for the info tho

sc300dori, im a drifter also and im planning on doing a 1jz. my reasons are in the long run it will be cheaper and better for drifting. the main reason im not turboin a 2jz-ge is the fact that the intake is right ontop of the hot side of the turbo. we all know heatsoak is a major issue in drifting and that wouldnt be good for the car. but thats just my 2 cents

SC300Dori

Yeah thanks for the 2 cents I feel like that would just eat my budget for the build I going to roll with a LSX series motor and tranny....I'm not really a fan for Turbo'd cars there trouble dealing IC piping and the FMIC block air from the motor I've seen plenty have issues in competition so its better for me to go all motor...And plus i heard the to turbo it may cost from 7-15 thousand and 17 thousand is my budget limit so thats not going to work

Dang, ..that kind of money, you can do a 2jzgte/v160, ...hopped up!

SC300Dori

17 thousand is for the whole car

ProjectLex

Man, where do you guys get your stuff done?

All good until the -15 part.

I second that! With the whole car. For 17k you could have one hell of a ride!

I was on SupraForums.com and on I-supra.com and they told me....I'm going to go with LS1 instead I already put in order for it earlier today...I wanted a 1J or a 2J but....I want something i can count on....Having a JZ motor would be sweet but I don't want it choking on me b/c of my right foot...

you can turbo the stock motor for way less than $15k.

Blk97SC300 just dynoed 465whp on his stock 2JZ, and I bet he is under your $17k figure for his entire set up: Brakes, Volk Wheels, Tires, Suspension, Turbo, Peripherals, and Tuning.

Your going to put an LS1 in the car? Just get a 1jz =p

na4now

A turbo'd ge, a 2jzgte. or a 1jgte, will run out and leave a ls1,....... and be just, if not more, reliable.

This is the result of too little research. You my friend are clueless
