going 1jz from the start and skipping 7mgte

[7mgte3sgte]

Ok as if anyone knows me they already know my plans :aigo: I am converting the car to RHD 1jz i got the whole rhd conversion under control but what I am seeking is some do's and donts fr the motor what to maybe expect and how hard are parts to find are there any universal parts between 7mgte and 2jzgtte? if i need to are there parts I can get here in america if needed as in emergency reasons or do i need to go ahead and buy a 1jz block for parts as well? any help tips or info would be appreciated

Dont count on breaking the block. Count on blowing the turbo. Parts are easy to find and my Website will have most of the 1JZ parts, and can get any of it in about a matter of a week!

are there fairly priced replacement turbos? i dont wanna leave the twin turbo setup im not all about power just uniqeness hence why i am going rhd on this conversion i will do the basic upgrades ..injectors intake intercooler etc...

its not that hard finding used stock turbos. i've seen plenty of them in the for sale section as well as ebay.

ok lemme restate what i meant lol are there any fairly priced upgrade like i dunno the first stage but staying twin turbo something reliable i can go to but fairly priced and fits the stock mani but ill change out if i have to

nope. their are currently no upgrades for our turbo. there is however a very rare hks turbo kit that uses the t28 turbos that will use all of your stock intake piping. i know it comes with the manifold and y-pipe but i dont know if you could use it on your stocker.
