Cause Ari is selling them lol
Not a fan of the colour, though I don't mind the car as far as imports go.

Haha still saving for a nice 1jzgte, I spent all my 1jz money I had saved on a trip to fiji.
Money well spent imo but just means the plans of a motor swap have been pushed back
Good things come to those who wait..

yeah was gonna ask the same thing. surely a head shim and a turbo will be much cheaper than a full 1j? is it just cos of VVT? can you just get the top off a VVt 2j instead?
in all honesty i rate chasers 10000000 times more than i do supras. mostly because the suspension is a work of art, but ive always like the 1J more. seems more responsive to moderate throttle, nicer to drive, less laggy and plenty of punch if you tweak the boost a little.
i dunno. ive been drinking (as usual)

for all the parts required to turbo the na motor id run up a bill of roughly $4k without a tune and fitment of parts required that i cant do on my own, also as it is my daily, i need it back on the road asap , so if i have a part fail or it needs to have a part made up to mate with the 2jzge itd be off the road even longer
with the 1j, its a much smoother engine imo (vvti version) more responsive and imo sounds alot better and comes on boost quicker (standard turbo) also can be easily mated with my w58 box and run up to 10psi before i run into gearbox problems
Also the cost is roughly $1-2k cheaper than the cost of turboing my 2jzge with limitless potential. i.e , if i wanted more power out of my 2j after turboing it, id have to change the head, bottom end, fk around with the tune all the time (headache) and would have to spend heaps more than if i just started with the 1jzgte
Just seems a whole lot easier to drop a 1jzgte in and have a motor that already has come out boosted and can be tweaked with minimal cost (compared to doing the same to a 2jzge)
