Signal Auto 2JZ-GTE swap w/ 6 spd for $7,500
Sorry, I don't have a scanner... this ad was taken from La Auto Guide (11/1 to 11/15 issue) where a lot of Japanese shops post ads. Anyway, just wanted to let you guys see this; I'm not sure if it's a misprint but the other prices seem right. I just sold my RX-7 and ordered a MB a month ago but if I had seen this ad, I think I would have bought an SC300 instead.

Interesting, you should get more info on it. I am guessing that you would get a stock 2JZ-GTE(320hp), the 6-speed Getrag and you would have to take it from there. Although it would only cost about $1500 to bring hp up to 450 from there

You do know that in Japan they underate all their cars at a 280 hp max right? I would think the Japanese motors would be just like the ones we have here...

Yeah, didn't see the "tuning from Japan" part. BTW the Japanese version of the 2JZ-GTE has 276hp(280ps) .

I was assuming it was just like other cars in the Japan that really produce more than the rated ps.

Actually potatoBBQ, you were right, both the J-spec & U.S. spec 2JZ-GTE's are/ were underrated. Many stock Supras(US) dyno in at around 299RWHP although I have seen that # fluctuate from car to car between 291-301RWHP. J-spec GTE's also dyno much higher than they should officially but I don't recall the #'s off-hand.

Hopefully the upcoming super sport cars from Japan won't be all N/A. Turbo rules!

I thought the rule was 300ps
Anyways, doesn't another engine importer sell these? Are these modded or just JDM stock? The reason why I am asking is that Signal Auto is not cheap. Another engine importer probably could get these for much cheaper. They are reputable though and they open on Sundays too.
