good luck finding a 2jz gte ecu to control the turbos if youre not going full custom.
2jz ge loom will probably have a shitload of missing wires and plugs to control the stock twin turbo setup - the loom is even different between 2j turbo aristo and 2j turbo supra... so again good luck
youre gona need custom driveshaft to connect the gb end to the diff end, and will probably find clearance issues and hanger bearing issues
stock gx axles halfshafts etc will prob snap with boost thru it they are spindly as fuck
stock brakes will not stop you also
youre gonna need tourer V power steer lines cus your gx stuff will be all wrong
and u will have probs with clutch master clearance to the 2nd turbo
radiator feed and return hoses will need to be custom or creative
get ready for your factory tacho to never work again
get ready for full custom exhaust and clearance issues
and this is only the list of small shit not even mentioning the swap itself
if this guy can do all this in 2 weeks by himself he should open his own shop and call it Magicland Motorswaps unLtd because it will be one hell of a job

Yo nigel - yea i am aware of those things thanks for pointing stuff tho - rear subfrrame - axcles steering rack are all coming from my mates donor car but and the guy doin the conversion did mention about twinturbos not fitting earlier when he checked my car he said to just put the engine in as it is first and just put the manual conversion for less complications.. it'll still be a huge difference coming from what my car is now even if its NA.. turbos can come in the future but yea thats pretty much the plan for now aye.. just gathering parts for future tune up like 1jzgte head etc.. any advice? that would be the best way to do it aye?

Re: Thomas D' Great's X90 mark 2
glad u know - i had to figure it all myself
you really sure a 1jzgte head is going to be a straight job? you really really sure???? i know everyone thinks they just plug together like lego... but ive read real experiences that differ. for not much gain unless youre flowing 2bar all day.

massive debate in regards to the 1.5j aye, some people say you make good power others say its a waste of time, and to be honest i dont know enough about the swap to even start looking into it ( should never have suggested it ), would rather just go vvti 2jz with a good turbo set up would make me happy
rather than rushing into shit my advice would be the following
peace it all together bit by bit, may take abit longer but its worth it in the long run and makes the small niggly bits less of a hassle

Re: Thomas D' Great's X90 mark 2
1jzgte head wont be a straight job - needs a few mods to fit the 2jz block - . like screw bolts in.. but the ports? im not sure .. im not even sure if the flow is better - theres no proof or whatever- there's a particular reason why they made 2jz with that particular head.. not by much but still better.. now im starting to think why people made 1.5.. is it because they destroy their bottom end?coz it would be knowledgable to change it to a stronger block such as 2jz block rather than rebuilding the new one. lol.. im just thinkin aye... 1.5 has been bugging me for quite a while now today. i will have a 2jzge engine with all those stuff in it needed for transplant - and all those jz bits.. and im quite happy just having a 2jzge engine for now - dont have to spend anything.. .. but im also thinkin of somethhing different i'll post it up later

keep the 1g unless you're gonna do a 2JZ-GE + 5 speed conversion. Speaking of manual conversions, would a 6 speed Altezza gbox be a good alternative to the normal 5 speed w5x? it's remote shift and all....

Altezza Gita (wagons) are 2JZ-GE powered, not sure if they ever came in a manual flavour but if they did that could be a bolt-on option?
