i drove down to jhot in augusta,ga and picked up my full swap for $1096 including tax, had everything from fuel pump, intercooler with piping, and all the accerories.
my 2jzge was in great shape, i plan on taking it apart and adding some GTE pistons then doing a 1.5jz down the road.

thanks for the comments guys, i have never enjoyed any of my cars as much as this one, i'll be glad when i'm not putting $$$ into it everyweek though lol..
dildoz, may convert one day, i'm enjoying the hell out of my first auto car though, the 1jz made the auto alot more fun.
it runs great, except the tranny it came with was garbage, it would not start off in 1st gear, after driving it for a night it's pretty much toast and barely driveable at all now, so i'm waiting on another 1jz auto trans, my stock GE trans wouldn't work.
man it sounds awesome! i'll have some vids up soon, right now it's just a 3" downpipe, no cat, and the 3" downpipe has a piece that tapers into my stock exhaust piping.. my turbo's are loud as hell, maybe cause the big intake, all i hear is spooling through the intake when i drive lol, engine runs great though.
not anytime soon, my plan right now is to put gte pistons in my stock GE block and do a 1.5jz, fpr, safc, fmic, full exhaust, then maybe start looking at singles then.. I don't wanna go single unless i'm gonna make at least 400whp, for now i'm enjoying the fast spooling twins, i plan on keeping it simple for my daily.
Congratulations. Car looks great!
5 speed or dildoz?
