Hey fellas these are more questions I have directed at anyone who can answer any one or more of them.
I am lookin into getting a 93 gs300 and I have done as much research as possible. Now I have a couple questions ?

1) would you go supra TT conversion or run the stock 2jz NA motor with boost, or third would you build the stock NA 2jz motor ie..
crower rods, arias pistons etc...

2)I have a honda with a turbo and when we run boost with the MAP sensor its neccassary to run check valves to prevent the engine from seeing boost.
How do you prepare a NA 2jz for boost with the vortex mass air sensor ?

3) Is there a way to give the engine boost without running an additional injector setup like that of F-max. I have done this before and dont like it.

4)Would you run a single turbo or twin's if you have to do it over ?

5)Would you recomend an auto trany, 5spd or 6spd ?
Or is it a matter of preference.

Thanks to all of you !

Oh one more thing where do I get sway bars for it ?
I have seen the ARC and some others in aristo magazine from japan.

hey welcome, well i thought you maybe had a civic because of EG8, well the 93 is a good car, and the 2JZ is an amazing motor, my suggestion would be to keep the motor that comes with it and add a single turbo to it with custom piping and intercooler.

i'm not really sure of the answer to 2 sorry

i think the stock injectors can handle no more than 400HP flywheel so you'd be better off getting bigger ones, and a stand-alone fuel management system is always the best thing to use.

single

i'd choose the supra 6spd but you need a lot of custom work for that, its up to you i'd love that tranny if i could get one.

check with hiro or jun for japanese parts, www.jmotorsports.com is jun, sorry i cant remember hiros page

Default Supra TT engine

A couple of weeks ago someone posted a thread about a Supra engine in a GS.
There was a member that posted and had a turbo 1st gen GS300.
The link to that thread is:

Hope this helps.
