Default SC300 TT 2jzgte SETUP Q'S?!!!?? 56kNOO!

Hey guys i bought my sc300 about 2 months ago now, and i wanted to put a turbo on my lexus.
well yesterday i bought a STOCK 2jzgte Twin Turbo set up and i wanted to know what ELSE i would need to complete my set up,OR what i cant use in this for my set up. This is my first turbo set up attempt, i use to deal with hondas, but never a forced induction (turbo) set up. im not looking for a no crazy power or anything, i just wanted a daily driven turbo car i can drive around, if you guys can help me i would appreciate it guys thanks!


here are the pics EVERYTHING it came with.



























LET ME KNOW GUYS THANKS !

wait wut? You ask what else is needed? a 2jzgte longblock! That setup wont bolt up to your stock n/a motor(2jzge), exhaust bolt pattern is different. seems like you might of jumped the gun. sell that twin setup or find someone selling a 2jzgte long block, or you can go na-t. gl

Youre going to need a tt head to bolt that thing up to your car.

Because it wont work. You have the right idea, but spent money on items you cant really use unless you swap a GTE head cause the GE head has a different bolt pattern on the head. Only other way you can use those parts is if you find a way to have an adapter flange made from the GTE bolt pattern to the GE bolt pattern which would complicate other things.

So what you need to do, is find a way to sell those parts, go to clubna-t.com and start reading, search na-t here on the forums, and gather yourself a parts list for going na-t.

You need to do your research...you can't just bolt this stuff on and expect it to work. Start over from the beginning...research research research. Not to be rude but it seems you may be in over your head on this.

Depending on your mechanical skills you might want to rethink doing a tt head swap and just go with a na-t set up. In the end you would probably come out better.

I think a complete gte head is almost as much as a complete gte engine. Might as well buy a complete gte engine.
