Default Turbo Kits 2JZ-GE

Hey fellas,
I was shopping around for a turbo kit for my 95 sc300 and I was wondering if anyone knows of a good kit besides F-Max and Toyomoto. Just tryin to check out all my options right now.

I would recommend Sound Performance to help piece together a kit for you. They offer a turbo manifold for the 2JZ-GE that will connect up to their huge variety of turbos. You can PM Ebanks if you have any questions of what SP has to offer.

Do a search on the Fmax turbo kit. I would go with the Toyomoto.

Default Kidney for sale...

I would love to have a Toyomoto Kit. I would slurp rancid tuna salad out of my own a$$ probably. Point was, I don't want to have to start selling body parts on the black market for a strong kit.

SP is located in Bloomingdale, IL.
www.sound-performance.com


I will say, their products are VERY high quality, and it won't be cheap. However, it will be worth every penny!

Toyomoto is the only option if you want a COMPLETE kit that is cheaper, and good quality. The Sound Performance stuff is TOP NOTCH, however it is not a complete kit, just components to build around.

Ehhh, see if you guys can help me remember the name, but there was a company that was offering a turbo kit that was almost bolt on for around 4,000 $, and it was supposed to bring you up to around 300 rwhp. Anyone remember who it was? Also it was for the vvti engines, but it would be worth contacting them to see if they can modify it if you ask me....

Yah, so far, seems like the consensus is that its Toyomoto and nothing else.

I've got the $ for it, but the hardest thing about it right now is feasibility. See, if I'm getting it done, I want to get it done right, so I'd have them do the install and everything. I'm in VA, so realistically, I'd have to drive down to FL (i believe thats' where they are at), have them install it? How long would it take? I've got no car to come back? I mean what's the process like... I'm a busy man and I cant leave work like that. Can someone please give me a real world senario here. Thanks.

Call a car carrier company to ship your car to their shop.

Much cheaper.

SC300TURBO, Thanks for the name of the place. It's about 4 hrs away. That's the problem. I live in VA/MD/DC area and there's no reliable shop that I know of that can do this. I'd hate to have them mess up on the kit's installation (I mean, if i want to do it right, Toyomoto should be the best ppl to do their own kit).
Shoot, I cant even find a shop to be able to install suspension upgrades/exhaust upgrades for me.
I'm not the type to do any of these things myself. Since I'm always busy with work and have little time on my hands, it makes much more sense(cents) to hire a pro do it for me.
