I just dont think the aem is that much better, unless you need a custom timing curve, but at this point I can just install an aem FIC onto my aristo ecu, and have control over timing and injection for a quarter the price. Best part is my car will still start and idle like a stock 2j with a piggyback.
No more will I sit there for 10 minutes cranking my car in the cold weather while people look at me funny. Why can't that lexus start... lol.. must be a junker. Here im thinking man, If only I could get it started I'll show you. all the mods in the world are useless when the engine doesn't start.

DM kits have been around for some time and has proven their reliability within their limits. Once the limits are pushed, people on here say you better ff buying a Ebay turbo for the money. Everyone will have an opinion. I have personally never used their turbo kits, but have used several of their other parts, seals, IC piping, sensors, and so on, and would buy from them again, no questions asked. I went with a BW S366, and never looked back.

I still to this day don't understand why so many people opt out of the 1JZ platform. Since my swap, it has been fun, outrun a few cars, and has been a daily driver for sometime, at least over a year and half. Only left me stranded once. Faulty relay going to fuel pump. I keep a fire extinguisher, zip ties, fuses, vacuum lines, relay, and zip ties with me in the car. You never know. If this 1JZ ever fails, I will go the 1.5 route, why.... people ask me.. Well its because I can reuse my DP, head, BC cams, and so forth. I might even upgrade the injectors, but I am pretty happy with my mid 500 RWHP on pump gas. It seems anything more, it will not be able to put it to the ground without spending more money. The downgrade to 17's on TT's have helped me some, but the huge difference in pulling power is the MKIV auto rear end install. People sometimes forget to upgrade the brakes, suspension, wheels and ties when they decide to put in a swap. Some things in my book that Cant be overlooked.

Its all about how much you are trying to spend and what setup you like the most..
At the end of the days, they will all make some decent power..700-800hp, 2jz is easy 800-850hp in a stock form, 1jz easy 700-750hp.
They are all money pits!!
