1JZGTE, is the 2.5 liter twin turbo motor that came in the SC300/Soarer over in Japan, never released as an optional motor in the USA. Basically bolts right in.

Its the same series of motor as the 2JZGTE twin turbo 3.0 liter that comes in the famous MK4 supra, and its just as strong.

ok im messin with ya.. Yeah those kinda things are just scams. The only real thing you can use to add on to your ecu to improve performance mainly is the apexi SAFC or greddy e-manage. There are SOME companys that can reflash the ECU but its $$. Theres no easy cheap thing to get power, it all comes from doing the normal things.. exhaust, intake, turbo, etc.. Being a 3 liter motor that likes to rev in a heavy car, youll really never have that low end grunt a big liter V8 does. That doesnt mean you cant make as much torque or more then a v8, its just higher in the RPMS, not off idle.
