Single Turbo Lexus SC300 2JZ-GE

You couldn't be farther from right gene, just like 1'st and 2'nd generation cranks in 3/S' the internals of the GE are cast, and are much weaker than that of the GTE. Buy yourself a GE and throw 800hp at it, you'll be sorely disappointed...

you must be doing something wrong.
ever hear of Dave from supraforums? he ran LOOW 9's on a bone stock GE bottom end way back in the day. and hes not the only one thats pushed those blocks damn near as far as the gte motors.

i'm not exactly new to the 2jz platform by any means...

What should I do? TT Swap, 1jz swap, or NA-T? - Club NA-T Forums



will that trans really only take 400's? i thought the 5 speeds were really strong? the V160 trans cost about $3000 plus the cost of a clutch to go with it... thats quite a chunk of change.

The 5-speed trans really is that weak.

Yep, hence why I dropped the idea. I'd have had to go R154 or 6spd to hold what the engine is capable of. OR spend like 3k on a th400 w/ overdrive. No spanx.

Somehow having a bad accident discredits your sound/proven build and knowledge of the platform.

it wasnt even bad, lol.
caused maybe 500 bucks in damage.
