well guy's i have a confession to make. i went to a great friend of mine's shop on my lunch break about 30 min ago. looking for a 1jz Soarer swap ( for some reason other importers always send supra 1j to me!! uurghgh!!) and we were dicussing power and install time and getting the best bang for the buck. 10 min after that im signing the proof of purchase for a JDM 2jz-gte! i dont know what came over me but i just said "****** it, either go big or go home!!"

So, now i have to hit the search and see what it takes for Deloria to psst into the night...

Hell yeah! Getting all the TT rear end pieces is expensive but worth every penny. I suggest you read these...

i really just want to get moderate HP with this car. ill beef up the rear some but it will never be a dyno/trailer queen. VIP style with some nastyness'

around 400-500 hp

o yea, i forgot to mention. my car is already 5 speed original so hopefully this will be a easy swap and my w58 will be up to the task. this is gonna be fun, i hope....

Turbology

Cool, I just know that if I did that swap, 500hp would soon be "not enough."


The Supra Forums links are more helpful information on doing the actual swap than how to make crazy power.

i decided to do this because i get the run around from too many importers that think they have Soarer swaps when they have JZX90's and A70's!! i paid 750 for my 1jz i have right now and i was gonna go with a clip but NOW you can get a STD eating fried chicken before you get a clip~!!!

I would also read what DIrEctQL has done.
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/members/2051-directql.html

He has a 97 SC300 that has a JDM 2JZ, single turbo, autotrans....
This was one of the few cars ever to make me go "Wow!!"

He's swapping a 6spd in now.
He's a busy guy, so read what he has done before barraging him with questions.

Good find!!

overall, i think it will be a short distance to net 400-450 hp on basic bolt-ons. downpipe, front mount, boost controller, AFC, exhaust, injectors, cams, c. gears, etc...
i could go the 8-900 range but lets be for real..am i really going to use that kind of power on a daily basis? hell no!!

Not with the ceramic stock turbos. Go usdm turbo or better yet go single....but I guess I am bias. Enjoy the swap.
