I bought this car 2 years ago, and rebuilt the JDM 7m that was in it. It was all done up to stock specs save for ARP's and an SS oil hose, and its been a great motor! I recently scored a 2jz-ge out of a gs300 in Dallas for $300 that had a complete harness, ecu, and all accessories, so i couldn't pass it up.
I've decided to go na-t on 7m electronics, due to the amount of success that others have had with this setup. Eventually i'd like to be somewhere in the neighborhood of 500whp on 93 octane. I haven't decided what to do about the compression issue that the na-t presents. I've read a lot of different methods of bringing it down like stacking two gte gaskets or buying an aftermarket gasket, but i think i'd like to get a set of gte pistons with a gte gasket just to be safe.
Just like any build, i'll come across many things that will have me scratching my head. What i can not find on my own, i'll be posting in here for advice and updating my progress.
