1 if your staying twin just get your exhaust shop to fab something up. get something good when you go single.
2.I used half aristo and half gs
3. Greddy do a full bolt on kit for $700
4. get the aristo maf
5. MV automatics in Australia are guns with the 4 speed boxes in these and have kits from stage 1 to race
6. wait
7. more than your twin set up will be delivering

food for thought, it is much harder to remove the stock twins once the motor is in the car. If you have thoguhts of going single in the near future, it may be easier to hold off until you are ready. If not, disregard

Not too many people do a ton of performance on CL. Most are just VIP style and cosmetics mostly. Most of the older members here that used to be heavy into engine stuff have moved onto other platforms now.

As for the rear diff. I have personally tested it over 900hp on a bone stock 3.23 GS400 open diff. The Toyota auto trans will give much sooner than the diff will lol. If you plan on drag racing often, then I would recommend upgrading the internals to a TRD LSD or something equivalent.

1. Nope. It won't fit. It didn't fit on my GS at least.
2. If you're using the auto trans, I don't know. If you're using a W58 like I did, you need a custom made shaft.
3. I bought a universal IC pipe kit and had it custom cut and welded to minimize the use of couplers.
4. The GS MAF does NOT work. If your 2JZGTE is Aristo, you need to use the Aristo MAF. Otherwise you will go into limp mode.
5. Not sure about a shift kit but there is someone out there who offers upgraded valve bodies. I forgot the name.
6. Do it now while the motor is out.
7. It's not the Duffy I'd be worried about.
