Going NA-T isn't that expensive.. especially cause you can pick up a good used GE for like $450 these days..
I have almost 155k on my NA-T making 422whp without a single issue... other than the **** W58 trans, And I havent even turned up the boost yet. Also.. 400hp in these cars isnt that much.. believe me, once you get 400hp for a couple months.. the car starts to feel slow again..
Save yourself the cash and go NA-T... Unless you have money to blow and wanna make over 500whp.

^^^ Yes and depending on how much you are trying to spend they go from $350-$1800 !
Both setups are not cheap , it is going to cost you money regardless, So just pick the route you wanna go and do some research on it.
1jzgte/2jzgte or na-t regardless you will have to buy parts left and right, and it's not cheap you already know that.

I did a bunch of reading before i went the 1JZ route.
As far as budget wise, I spent about close to 4k w/ Phoenix Tuning doing my wiring. I've looked into doing NA-T but my 2J is in very poor shape and I dont think I want to tackle the wiring using the aristo ECU or fork out another 1500 for a AEM v2. So I went the easy route and go with the 1JZ swap.

I'm stuck on where to get my transmission from. I decided on a R154 and the local Autozone could get one that's rebuilt for around $1600 or I can get one from a guy on Craigslist for about $350. He says it was his backup that he disassembled for parts on his rebuild but that it works fine.
Worst case scenario is that it needs a rebuild as well. So my question now is should I go with the Autozone one or go for the Craigslist one?

Thanks I will be contactIng you soon.
I'm getting my engine tomorrow and I need to know what additional items I need to just be able to drop the engine in and see if it works. It will be coming right back out so I can perform the maintenance stuff and install my R154 next month. I read that I need a tt supra throttle cable but I can't think of anything else. My motor should come with the ecu, harness, and ignitor.
Also, I believe that I read in another thread that if I have an auto tranny and the new one is also an auto that I can use the stock driveshaft. Can anyone confirm this?
