Well its been a few days now since ive gotten the car on the road, and have around 300mi on it. Runs beautiful! Gets anywhere from you can watch the needle fall when you floor it, to almost 25mpg just cruising around town and highway (not really hitting boost). Its a very friendly motor in stock form, very easy to drive. I dunno why the americas never got this motor, it puts the 2JZGE to shame!

 

That's good to know. Got some video of it yet?

 

thats good to hear man i passed by downtown and i saw the car when i was going to the club and car look really clean sorry i could not stop i was catching a ride with some friends. but i am sure i will catch you next week . have fun with her and take care of her also hehehe lol

 

yea we get jerked and get na engines instead of twin or single turbo engines. the 1jzgte the aristo tt 2jzgte the sr20det and there are countless others. but i see we are making progress with the evo and impreza wrx coming boosted maybe stock turbo cars in the US will become more common.

 

Right on man thats good to hear.Cant wait to get mine...

 

ok well first issue, upper radiator hose leaks now lol.. it has 2 cracks in it. Not a full blown hose but it should make it home after work when i stop and put some water in it and fix it.

 

Was this the original from the 1JZ or a is it a 2JZ hose you bought new and installed?

 

i cut the orignal 2jzge hose to use as connectors, apparently it was old and dried out worse then i thought, but i spent 15mins at autozone, found new hose the right size and cut it to use as connectors, problem fixed

 

I have a titan upper radiator pipe for sale if you're interested. It's brand new and would sell it to you for CHEAP.
