Default Supra TT engine and transmission swap

I just embarked on a journey for a turbo. I just got off the phone with John from SP Engineering and put down some money for JDM Supra TT front clip complete with engine and manual transmission. Yay!

Following the shipment of the engine I have decided to enlist Scott over at Dude's Performance to help me with the swap.

I don't know why I made this post but I guess I am looking for congratulations and perhaps pump some life into the forum.

I am already considering new license plates. How does "SUPRIZED" or "GREN T" sound?

I've heard that Aristo clips are cheaper than Supra TT clips.

congrats Chris and good luck. Just remember there are some diffs between the USDM Supra motor and JDM. One being the JDM only have 440cc injectors as the USDM have 550cc. Just PM and ask Chris about it. I'm sure he knows the differences..Good luck buddy!
