Any body esle who has an experience with the NA-T please chime in


I would like to know too. I have read a few comments from people who did the 2jzgte swap say if they had to do it over again they would just have gone na-t. My plan is to go na-t. I want 400 -500hp and can spend 3 - 4k.

I've never heard anyone regret going 2jzgte but 1jzgte is another story.

dont disregard the 1j there are plenty of guys on here making serious numbers with 1j's and the 1j's are probly the most cost effective way to go given the fact they are cheaper than 2j's and can put out serious hp at the same time...look up 94_soarer thread he has a 1j making over 400 easy its just his tranny couldnt take so dont sleep on the 1j.....

oh yea welcome aboard

NA-T is the half assed way to go? And you don't have to pull the motor and build it, the bottom end is just as strong as the 2jzgte. Not sure where you get your info from, there are some pretty potent na-t setups around.
