maybe he's "down grading" so he can have extra cash to "upgrade the 1jz"

if not....

ding ding! winner. the rest of you are LOSERS! haha

yes, for $4k i can buy a 1jz single turbo and maybe engine management. hmmmm now doesnt 500hp sound better than a stock 2jz's 280hp? yes it does! ohh no, im sorry and cant be cool and have the "almighty 2jz" anymore.

the differences between the motor are minimal and unless your going for 800hp its pointless.

so, anyways....single here i come

Peter, your killing me bro!! if i had known that it was out of a soarer, i would have snagged it when you first told me about it.

was it a different motor, or the one you told me was from a MKIII? and was it the same price?

Had I known that you were going to go with this route, I would have asked you to trade motor setups with me

Good luck on your new set up bro.

How did he go the right path with a 1jz? Is a 2jzgte so wrong? He had a 2jzgte fiirst and had to sell it so instead of buying a ge motor, he bought a 1jz. I hate all your, "true soarer" crap.
