Regardless, all i was saying was please don't post unless you have personal experience. It makes it difficult to weed through relevant information on the forum, and is how rumors get started.
(Quick example is how for years people were swapping out the GE bottom end for the GTE even though they are nearly the same strength.)
At one stage I had planned on doing the 1jz swap and read extensively on it. I know of VERY few people who have made 600rwhp on their 1jz. I would be interested in reading up on people on this forum who have achieved these goals... I can't think of any off-hand.
I completely understand what you are saying, and I agree. Although what you guys have said, and what I have seen do differ. I am guessing you are speaking from experience, so tell me, and the OP about your car so we can both be more enlightened. (I am not being sarcastic, I am serious.) I am eager to learn more about this platform reaching such levels. I looked at your thread for your car and it looks great. Do you plan on getting to 600rwhp reliably on your setup? Also, at what price would this take to reach these goals?
Regards,
Jonny

I do not have first-hand knowlege of the 1jz although I have been on these forums for MANY years. I was in the SC section way before anyone even had come up with the thought of dropping the 1jz into the SC.

Unfortunately, clublexus does not have too many member reaching the 500whp goal. My setup with cams, a standalone, and some more fuel upgrades should be close to 500whp. In its current state it is good for right around 400whp. The difference between a 500whp setup and a 600whp setup is quite a bit. It means upgraded fuel system (more thank just mkiv 550cc's), and a larger single turbo. Of course, you cannot forget the transmission limitations. If you read on supraforums in the 1jz specific section you will see some high numbers out of mkIII guys with 1jz's. 500whp isn't uncommon over there.
http://www.supraforums.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=305759 Theres a list of some high hp 1jz's. There are 9 listed over 500whp there. You are right in saying there are very few people who have made the 600whp goal. But, I have a feeling that number is going to go up within the next few years. Now that the rumors are gone, and the potential of the 1jz has been proven, more and more people will shoot for big numbers!

just focus on what you need for your swap, its a pretty big task im still finishing mine, once you get that I say mess around with some bolt on stuff get a feel for it and save up and when your ready then upgrade it.. take one step at a time and worry about your 600whp after you get settled in with the swap besides you can have plenty of fun with less hp.. good luck. and damn i need a map sensor.

Before anything make sure that you've done some form of defensive driving course, these are an expensive car to learn in. Not to take a shot at you, but once these cars go around there's virtually no way to stop them and the parts aren't going to be Honda-cheap.
Now let's get on to the good stuff...
500~600hp... single turbo (maybe a TD06, 3037 or 3040 etc), cams (maybe forged pistons if the motor's going to be apart), upgraded fuel system, intercooler (probably with tube and fin core - said to be more efficient for higher power but I'm not sure), custom DP and cat to suit and boost control (or new engine management). Then the transmission will need to be rebuilt (depending on which gearbox you're using) and the brakes and suspension.
I'd spend the money on first making the SC handle and stop... no point having so much power if you can't safely exploit it.

I personally got a new timing belt, tensioner, electric water pump, all pulleys and belts, replaced the valve seals and ordered cams before I even bought a turbo kit. That was just added power to keep me happy until I slap the kit on when I get out of Iraq. I will be working on my suspension and handling first, as there is no point in having ~500RWHP that doesn't stay on the ground.

I'm not sure if many people have had the 1J head ported/polished, they seem to be quite efficient from factory (could be money better spent elsewhere... maybe a BB turbo set up?)

theres alot to learn when it comes to driving and car and "driving" i car, anyone can drive a car but if you have a 500+ or even a 400+ HP car boosted, you need to know how to handle the car, not just going to the track and driving....learn the car, learn the power...know your car, and know you can handle the car no matter what......500+ will scare the **** out of you if your just starting to drive....
if you know this already than thats cool, just though id put my 2 sense in...
good luck with the swap and keep us updated

and to answer the question noone else has. to tell if it is a soarer 1j and not a supra 1j is quite simple. check the ecu plugs and refer to this link and the 5th post.http://www.clubna-t.com/forums/showt...0&page=1&pp=30
