So I got this 2JZ MK3 from another member on here for a damn good price, and he brought it from Carma Performance....No don't worry, Carma didn't touch it. Car was beyond pig rich. Me and a friend took 2 days of wiring checking, $13 in spark plugs ( cheap ones to trouble shoot with ) and listening to "IBoughtASupra" ( a member on here ) about what to trouble shoot, and now it runs at 13 and some change at idle, and the power it lays down is incredible. I will snap some pics and be starting a full interior swap, and some powder coating real soon. I really can't thank you enough ( IBoughtASupra ). Without your help on those texts, we would have been beyond frustrated with this car. Thanks to your help, it is now running beautifully! pics to come soon!

I'm used to the power of the 7MGTE and sitting behind this power house 2J is amazing for me. When I first got my 7MGTE with the T70 on it, it made me shake a bit when I got on it and ran high boost. This 2J has a 67 trim on it and running just a little boost testing it made me understand completely why people put these motors in everything possible.

Damn right I am now! I will never go back to the 7M ever again!
You know, I say that when the question comes up... but every time I hear one, it makes me question my resolve...

The 7M sounds like any other motor, the exhaust is always what makes them sound so mean. I know because I was running a 7MGTE with a T70 hooked up to a 3" Driftmotion DP and finally a Blitz NuR Spec. I loved it. More then any other engine in the world. But now after driving the 2J around for a few hours..... It was love at 1st gear...lol.
