Want to do NA-T , need help
I'm planning to do NA-T. My 2jzge has 160k miles, 5 speed manual.
It is not my daily driver, so i did maybe 300 miles since i bought it. For now there is no problem with the engine nor tranny.
I'm gonna to replace clutch and maybe flywheel soon. What should i replace /check to prepare engine for turbo.
With my 5speed tranny i want to stay below 400-450hp.
Any information appriciated.

Get a compression test run. If the numbers are not both high and consistent across all six cylinders, consider spending the $500-$700 to get a younger, more healthy 2JZ-GE first.
Even if your engine has 40k miles, you can not fully consider the proposition of na-t. An engine that has been babied for 160k miles may still be in excellent shape whereas one that has been beat on and not maintained for 40k miles may be too unhealthy for boost.
Torque is more responsible than horsepower for melting transmissions. I think the general consensus is that 375-400wtq is approaching the danger zone for the W58 transmission. In the average set up, you will probably get close to -but not surpass- these numbers.
If I were you, I would keep things quick spooling and stay around 61-63mm with a low a/r on the turbo. If you can't go big because of the tranny, you might as well at least give yourself a super fat power band to enjoy in more numerous driving circumstances.
