I think the Apexi Power FC is the best option for the 1jz. That's my plan if I do go all the way

I'm running the Apex'i Power FC right now. Seems to do the trick for anything greater than 550cc injectors.

1300 off ebay with the datalogging. A PowerFC is only needed when going single. A stock turbo 1JZ needs no external ECU, as the 380cc injectors supply enough fuel for the turbos output at any boost they can handle safely.

Thats awesome technology! Just too bad the 1JZ-GTE does not have a Mass Airflow Sensor.
