For the same price you can buy 1jz-gte clip.

To make NA-T to run right will require a lot more $$$$$$$. ECU, injector,fuel pump,FPR, which will bump up the cost by far. Plus reliability issue of stock NA internal.

Ive been wanting to turbocharge my car..and.... Thats true about the clip. Even better, a JDM motor /tranny which is very affordable and easy to get, and would be a better alternative.

But the info for the swap, (1jzgte or 2jzgte), is so vague. Ive done lots of searches, and most of the results are people saying "do a search". Or you can buy a book for $200. If there was somewhere I could locate detailed, accurate information and specifics on the wiring, I would not even consider doing the na-t.

On the other hand, adding a turbo to a na car is relatively simple, if you can get it properly tuned. All the electrics come with those handy instructions.

If someone could post a link, or point me in the right direction, for swap information or a write-up.....I would much rather look into that.

i have to dissagree, i have seen 340WHP with nothing but a turbonetics kit. no fuel, no map ECU, no exhaust. not even a head gasket. for the money, i would go with a 1JZ though. i saw the add, and it looked a little shady to me, maybe its because this is the first time i have seen it. i dunno, i just think twice about everything on ebay.... especially the companies.

That true turbonatic kit can make 340rwhp without other modification. But how long it will last. I have done this NA-T B4.

I NA-T a Honda CR-V, with one way valve to fool ecu and together with AIC to add more fuel. It does make 50 more HP. But only last for 6 month B4 piston and piston ring give up and lot of white smoke began to come out of exehaust. I have to rebuild the engine and add E- manage to properlly run the turbo kits. Add everything up and it lot of $$$.

It true that properly prepare NA-T will yield big reliable HP but it will be more expensive than swap the entire JDM turbo engine. JDM swap is not a new thing anymore so it getting easier and cheaper since many have done it .

You kidding me??? Stock 2JZ-GE? Did you mean that NA piston, shaft, piston ring, and gasket can withstand repeated 9 sec passes. Wow how much HP does it make and how much boost does it run???

yeah gowest is right guys. 340 turbonetics turbo kit with stock head gasket isn't going to last you very long (he must be at 10+ psi and you sc300 guys are the ones who swear by not going over like 7-8, but another matter is also the tuning.)

and yeah that 1 car with the 9 sec pass is dave H king of NA supra...so he's special and doesn't count . plus he does have cames and hg.

all day? he probably runs the car at the track once a month, if even that. it's not a daily driver (correct me if i'm wrong). that's why it's been around for so long.
