Alright - it's going to be awhile until my 2JZ is swapped in, but I am already considering future upgrades. The problem I am having is with turbo upgrades. Now, when it comes to putting the 2JZ in the MkIII Supra, it has been addressed that the stock twins need some extra clearance at the firewall [slight sledge-adjustment] and that some people opt for a small single turbo to eliminate this clearance issue. The bigger bore of the 2JZ makes for a wider block in the engine bay, taking up more room.. so some of these turbo kits may have a problem being fit in there as well.
The kits I am considering are the T66, SP63 and HKS Twin 2835's or single T04R. Money IS an issue at the moment, but it won't be at the time when this upgrade is performed.. but I would hate to drop all of that coin on the HKS kit to find out that it doesn't fit. Another issue is the engine moving with torque and cracking the compressor housings on the strut tower or causing the turbo manifold to crack from the pressure, but I figured that I could have that under control with solid motor mounts and a hydraulic or pneumatic engine brace of some kind. Arnout was working on a log-style manifold for a single turbo on his MkIII with 2JZ which was supposed to eliminate alot of clearance issues, but I don't know if I want a single, and don't know if I want to steer away from a tubular mani. My ultimate goal is 700RWHP with race gas, but I also want something that can be driven daily on 93 octane. Does anyone have any opinions or insight to this situation? Input appreciated!
