just by increasing the downpipe and exh size it will increase the boost slightly yes, but only 1-2 psi over stock. it may spike higher for a second but it will drop out. so yes, get a boost controller.

the stock 440s wont let you get too far, so if you really want to use that BCC, get some USDM 550s and a resistor installed.

or just buy my twins and make 380 @ 13psi on stock fuel.

did you already drill out the stud holes in the subframe for the JZA80 mounts?

and that is some quick time on the harness extension.. i just UNdid my extension since I dont have a heater core..etc and cut a new hole in the firewall to route the harness thru I dont need the length.. and it took me probably 6 hrs give or take to cut the extension out of 91 wires, solder and shrink wrap each one again by myself.

also, speaking of heater core.. if you will be running stock twins, you will need to umm.. clearance the firewall.. with a BFH. Once again.. mine have room to spare.. no BFH necessary

yeah I need to drill the subframe still and use the BFH to knock the firewall back. What spark plugs do I need though? ngk 6097 gapped to .026??? What is the stock boost level? Where can I get an aristo ps reservoir?

6097s are fine, 3330s are also. .026 is a good gap, anything higher than that and i was blowing out spark at 14psi on hiway pulls.

p/s reservoir came with my swap, but you can use the mk4 supra one.

never had stock twins on mine..dunno stock boost.

may have to bend the legs a bit, but it should line up at least 2 out of 3

gs300zx, you can also use your stock ps reservoir and have weld on some legs to mount on the strut tower if you can't find an mkiv. going through my jdm 2jz and all the connectors and hoses are pretty much gone. nickle and diming it with toyota! you probably already have, but toyo diy seems to be my favorite site lately...
