Well its been a few days now since ive gotten the car on the road, and have around 300mi on it. Runs beautiful! Gets anywhere from you can watch the needle fall when you floor it, to almost 25mpg just cruising around town and highway (not really hitting boost). Its a very friendly motor in stock form, very easy to drive. I dunno why the americas never got this motor, it puts the 2JZGE to shame!

yea we get jerked and get na engines instead of twin or single turbo engines. the 1jzgte the aristo tt 2jzgte the sr20det and there are countless others. but i see we are making progress with the evo and impreza wrx coming boosted maybe stock turbo cars in the US will become more common.

i cut the orignal 2jzge hose to use as connectors, apparently it was old and dried out worse then i thought, but i spent 15mins at autozone, found new hose the right size and cut it to use as connectors, problem fixed

I have a titan upper radiator pipe for sale if you're interested. It's brand new and would sell it to you for CHEAP.
