Im using wideband and SAFC2 with aristo 440 injectors. Car runs perfect. Maybe your map sensor could be going bad>?

hmm i kept my ge trans because i has a supra 1jz not a soarer one. Interesting though. You could get one of those automatic trans shifters. I forgot what theyre called but you shift with a button. Im sure it will bypass that then if thats the case.

Clean car man, I agree with the rest of the crew...bigger wheels, and lower the car-then it'll look a lot better. Also, you should probably take you other LEX key off the key ring...just in case you misplace your keys. Replacement keys are expensive, it's your choice...but that's my 2 cents. Keep it pimpin

find time for the skits, they're hurtin, but the rideheight it hurting more.

Nice bay setup...bet it moves pretty well.

You might not need new wheel/tire combo like someone else mentioned, the wheel gap up front is huge, but I do believe that the 2jz weighs more than the 1jz. When i finished my swap I had an amusing look. Instead of getting BPUs i instantly bought coilovers.

GL tho. Should add pics of the gs in here.

Yeah the car moves like none other . The single turbo was a big difference. I will add some pics of my swapped gs in here. On the Gs i went with the aristo swap and a cheap single turbo kit i bought from Mark from xspower for the time being.

Here is what the car currently looks like as it was down for a bit. I got a new soarer trans with BMtrans cooler and Motegi Togue Rims 18x9.5 in the back with +15 offset with 275/40/18 rear17x9 up front with +12 offset 245/45/17 front. I still need to install the skirts and the coilovers but different rims will made a big difference. I have a few pics below of what the car looks like now.
