Default Success!!! Finally found a solution

PROBLEM SOLVED

I sold my 2JZ GTE Motor and Tranny i got from my friends supra. I've been spending the last 4 hours reading thr threads about turbos and I finally know what I'm going to do.

I'm going to go the 1JZ and 5-speed tranny swap. I looked at a company online, www.tigerjapanese.com and they have the complete Soarer clip from $2000. With extra money I have from selling my motor I can finally have my turbo'd inline 6.

Carl,

I am going to tell you again. DO SOME RESEARCH before you make any decisions. A quick search would have yielded this

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...=tigerjapanese

Which would tell me tigerjapanese is not someone I would want to deal with...

That sucks. I'll do some more research before I spend anything. I'll keep you guys posted on the whole ordering and installing process.

Again thank you

You live in GA, so I would call Jarco Inc. I've used them many times for motor sets, and most the shops around here use them as the source for their setups as well.

Nice.

I'm in Atlanta, is the company close to ATL? If so will they allow people to come buy to purchase the setup? Or do you have to order by phone only?

Jarco is up in Canton, about 20 minutes north of Atlanta. They are good guys too I've gotten some nice Windom parts from them for my ES and its always top quality. They also have stuff listed on ebay or you could just give them a call like TTSC3 said above. Good luck on your quest for boost.

I can also vouch for Jarco's quality. I got my Soarer clip rom them 3 years ago and it was in amazing condition.
