I bascially have everything except the motor.

Motor with unknown history & broken second turbo: $1850 shipped
USDM conversion parts: $2400 (the mean value between those "hemogoblin" produced)
Total: $4250 - not accounting for the time invested compiling the conversion parts
How is this desirable over a USDM setup with known mileage?
Cheers,
jeez what parts are you using to go "USDM"???
the biggest differences are turbo, intake cam shaft, turbos, and injectors.... all of which won't cost you over 1k at higher than normal pricing (used)
unless you're thinking ECU? which is pointless if you're going to use aftermarket fuel management

So the process of getting the turbo replaced is taking 2 months and counting. I end up buying used twins from someone else to complete my project for a buddy.
If they can get their customer service taken care of, they would be in more business.

How much RWHP can the stock ECU can handle with the USDM MAF system or the JDM MAP system?
I am considering TEC3 EMS or the AEM EMS? What do you guys think. Im planning on using a GT42 turbo instead of using the stock twins before I put in the 2JZGTE. Of course the fuel system will to be upgrade also.

The USDM 2J in stock form has 320hp, while the JDM has 280hp. If your going to go standalone, then the ECU dosent matter, and most of the JDM parts wouldnt matter. But I dont really plan on making huge power, and I dont want any headaches in the future (hence a full USDM conversion)
