Default 2jz Soarer Goals

Alright, so i given up hope on selling my car.. and now im doing something that i've always wanted to do with the car..

my goals are to reach around 600whp

motor
2jz Gte
T67 Greddy Turbo

Im looking for something Reliable and powerful.


I was wondering can the Stock 2jz handle the 600hp.
Of course im getting head studs and new head gasket, new intake manifold, 1000cc injectors and fuel rail, (fuel regulator).
Will i need to rebuild the head?


And also
what kind of power can i look at with a 2jz buttom end with a 1jz head, single turbo?

While you have it torn apart I would throw in some cams and maybe work the valvetrain.

If you're swapping in a complete GTE there's no reason to change out the headgasket, and in that case you can switch over to the ARP headstuds without having to remove the head. Also, no need to replace the GTE's intake manifold as it will support a lot more than the 600 you're looking at. A 67mm is a good turbo to go with, but do some more research on the setup you want to go with before you start throwing money around.

in terms of what?
like i already know that the 2jz fits in the Soarer No problem...
My only issue is i want it to be reliable.. and i want to keep the motor stock... but my goals are 600hp...

The 2jz is already bought from my local jdm shop and im looking around to buying the 5speed transmission since my car is auto...

Anyways thanks alot for the help guys...

ive always wanted a 2jz and the 1jz is pulling to its end, the turbos will need to be replaced soon enough, so i already have the 2jz bought.. so why not go threw the swap.. both engines are sweet but i find the 1jz will be lacking power in terms of getting the t67 on there. so 2jz it is for me

Glad your keeping ur ride and def get like a bootlogic HG and ARP studs for sure so for 600hp goals you should be fine with stock internals (GTE) but its always best to upgrade if you can and if i were you i would stay auto trans because you will never shift faster and more acurate than a computer GL

thought it was 272? up to this size the idle is not that rough.. altho a 2jz idling rough does sound insane.
