Hey CL! I'm planning out my Aristo swap that's going to be starting this fall. Here is my parts list. Please give your opinion on what you don't think it's necessary and list out things I should get. My goal is to get 550-600hp. (I didn't list out the single turbo kit). I don't know what to do with the transmission...I know the Aristo 4-speed will not hold that much power. HELP!
Thanks again guys. I'm a noob and my good friend is doing all the installation.

I would skit the AEM FIC, hate it. If your going on the cheap then VPC/GCC is old but a proven combo for 700+whp. I personally run a MapECU, which is also cheap to obtain. If you have the money go with ProEFI, with the right tune it will run like stock and hold massive power and be able to control boost, meth, etc...
Also you will end up with other extras you did not plan on, T-bolt clamps, 4ply (at least 3ply) couplers, lines, catch can, etc... you also failed to mention a complete fuel system, you just said 750cc injectors, your pump will max out before that.
Another thing is the Aristo motor itself, the cams will hold you back, you need to budget USDM cams if your on a budget or a nice set of HKS/BCC/Titan etc.. 264 exhaust and intake cams are recommended.
Regarding the Transmission, Titan, boostlogic, SP, and other big Supra shops can build it, how long it will last will depend on your driving habits. Mine is a rebuilt auto, I have and external cooler and Precision 3800 stall, I take it pretty easy for the most part but of course WOT when I feel like it. DO NOT do rolling burnout, consistant hard launches, etc... put the converter in lock when on the highway, and change the fluid as often as you change your oil and you will be ok. On that note you should also budget a high stall converter.
I see you are still missing much in your list, while making 600whp is not hard for the 2JZ, making it reliable and street friendly is.
Good Luck.
