wait i thought he was going to build the 92 in which he wouldn't have to worry about emissions at all. Build the 92 and jiust daily the 99

 

The black on silver looks good!

 

I have a 500 plus rwhp 1JZ and I must say I love it. It is hard to stay out of it. Dont doubt the any JZ motor. I say go with whatever your budget allows. Remember upgrade the suspension and have good tires or youll be sorry. I am running Michelins and love them. Good luck in your choice..

We demand more pictures!!! Listen to quick and gerb, they know what is going on here in this scene!!!

 

I really appreciate all your comments and i know that i will get a lot of good info, and that is the reason for the thread.
Unlike most of you, I dont have to worry about the emission, so let's take it out of the equation.
I am willing to spend the money i need to spend. It doesn't mean i will spend unwisely.
I might change my mind few times before i get to the decision.
One idea is to find a 1jz with r154 and put the engine on the 99 and use the t154 for the 92 which will be the na-t and then maybe i try to get to around 700 hp with it.
As i said i am new to all this so i still have a lot to learn.
I see everybody says to go 1jz if you wanna save some money. I am wondering if that is so because a lot has to be done for the 2j swap vs 1j or is it just the difference in the price of the engines and tranny?

 

Well im not too familiar on the 1j or 2j swaps, but i can tell you that for the price of what most are putting into there 2j swaps i have a forged na-t at 12 psi.

If your confident that your engines are in good condition and obviously your willing to drop some major coin i would resarch doing an na-t. While im not pushing this as the better option im just saying look into it.

 

Looks great man, although it's really how much you're willing to spend. If budget isn't a problem then you should probably go for the 2JZ

 

I made up my mind to go with the 1jz and then read more what Quicksc said here and other places and it made me go back to where i started. so basically i was away for some time and now i came and thinking that i will go with the 1jzgte and that the decision is made.
But what Omar said made me look more into and depending on what he says i feel it might be even cheaper if my goal is around 450/500
I heard on the 2jzgte with the stock turbos and bigger injectors and meth it is very doable, cheaper and more reliable plus it solves the problem that Quicksc stated.
Now, is that true? and where you ( Omar) saying the 2jzgte is my best choice for the emission in MD only or is it also less costly and easier to do?
any body? any ideas?
