Hey so I’m new to the na-t game and to the turbo game in general but i did my research and saw that I could do the na-t setup on my 2jz vvti gs300. So I got the na-t manifold and the turbo kit for my car and now the big question is can I do all this on the stock ecu? I’ve seen some people do it and that’s what I want to do but I wanted to see some opinions on it for people who hold more knowledge in that area of expertise.
I tried that route in the beginning. It will behave terribly if at all. Even with a full stand alone it takes a lot to make the car happy. The auto trans really screws things up. I have been dealing with trying to get my na-t build on point for years now. I'd almost suggest not doing it to people from now on because it has not been a pleasant experience. Also, don't even think about turbocharging it if it's your only car and needed for daily use. I had to run out and buy spare car during my process. Next is to manual trans swap it, but it has to be on hold for a while.
That being said, you will also spend the most time and money on your fuel system and injectors along with the engine management/sensors etc. More than the turbo kit by the time you are done. It's not a cheap process, just be informed.
