gensoyai... so you're making a tad over 400 to the wheels with the stock twins and just BPU?
and that cost you roughly 3.5k in parts...
3k for 400 is not bad at all... i'm tryin to justify getting the 1jz... whether or not it would be as cost effective
i don't mind have 350 to the wheels if it'll be considerably cheaper than the the cost of your 400 rwhp car

My USDM ecu is a SuperChips modifed ECU (boost-cut removed). I'm still running the stock twins and boost-mod giving me on average 17psi. A set of UR cam gears are set at (i +2 e -3) and I'm running a stock Supra side-mount IC.

i've heard the same regarding the JDM 2jzgte... which was why it added to my reasoning for going with a 1jz...
my guess however is that the reason the JDM 2jz isn't "as powerful" as the USDM is the ECU... which in your case you're using a chipped ECU. But either way... the 2jz is starting to sound sweeter...
how's the tranny feel with that much power?

The JDM 2JZ has a different ECU (from what I've heard), plus smaller injectors (440cc as opposed to 550cc) but I think they're the only differences. Is it easy to find 2JZGTE 550cc injectors over there? I'm planning to upgrade my fuel system

As a note, other Supra engines (which consequently are Lexus SC compabible) are the 1G-GTE, 7M-GTE turbo A, and the far underpowered 1G-GE and 1JZ-GE.
Regardless, if you want a painless engine swap, it's best to use a Soarer 2.5GT-T since all of the associated fan and intercooler/piping will be correct.
