Default about turbo manifold all the same

well for about 4-5 hour of search on the question can seem to find nothing
okay it seems that the n/a 2jz is all the same(to me it does) so does that mean that i could put almost any n/a 2jz turbo manifold on my 93 gs (is300 sc300 na supras and the newer gs turbo manifold) or do i have to buy a compele kit

No.
Turbo manifolds made for the IS300 and the newer GS300s, wont fit on the older GSs. The newer GSs dont have distributors, and our cars do. So if you buy a manifold for them, when you put a turbo, you will have a clearance issue around the distributor.

He speaks the truth. Look up Boost Logic/Performance Motorsports in Austin, Tx. Chris Johnson of Performance Motorsports made a manifold for his SC300 angled to clear the distributor. I've seen it first person, it's beautiful workmanship and he is making around 750whp I believe he said. Look them up but don't expect ebay prices.

Look into the one avail on fleebay. I know some people dont like it but I think its a great price. Looks good and cheap enought that if it doesnt work out later you can replace it.

For what the ebay manifolds sell for you can afford to have a fabricator reweld the T4 flange to clear the distributor and still be under $500.

That's true enough. I wouldn't pay 1600 for a manifold either...even if CJ made it himself...lol. Though if I do it, it'll be the egay manifold with the flange rewelded like Kaiser said. Especially since I have a good friend that's a master welder....

PHR used to make a NA turbo manifold for the supra/SC300, but it doesnt seem that they sell it without having to buy the complete kit.
You should be fine getting one off ebay and having someone reclock the flange to clear the dizzy.
