We made it to houston and back without any problems. The swap now has 1200 miles on it and about 5 1/4 mile passes. My thrid pass of the day I managed a 12.7 @109 with a 1.64 60 ft on nitto Nt05 STEET tires not the drag radials.
I must say I'm very impressed with this setup and I cant wait to finish it 100% to plan.

I built the Mr2 before Houston last year. I built everything myself including the 2.2l forged stroker. That was easy since I build 20-30 Mr2 stroker motors a year 
.
It had Wiseco pistons and pauter rods with a fully built and ported head (by me). The cams were a Japan only high lift 10mm version but they were not too crazy either 264 duration.
Turbo is a billet 6262 flowing through a custom stailness sch40 manifold. I used a trunk mounted greddy TTsupra intercooler. Twin walbro pumps and 1100cc injector dynamic injectors.
When I tuned it at 33psi on Q-16 it made 715hp and 525tq. It was popping on the dyno but I just figured I was lossing spark. It turned out a bucket was being smashed (due to the closed spring height being set wrong by the maching shop) causing coil bind and a few days later on a cold start the bucket got stuck down and a valve got smashed. Motor had 5000 miles. So I rebuilt it and sold it to make the ls1 Is300 dream come true.

I love this build, this has been my dream for a bit but everyone in the Lexus/Toyota world always said I was crazy since the 2JZ motor is already pretty good and a Supra swap is so much easier. Screw them, this is waaaay more awesome. You let me know if you ever consider selling this thing cause I want first dibs on getting my hands on it.

I worked at ATS Racing for over 5 years and still currently do contract labor for them. I have a miller sycrowave 250 and numerous other fab tools.
I'm working full time and moving but A/C is in the works. Lucky for me the weather is nice right now

Funny, buddy and I wanted more info on this car when we saw the video of it running at the TX2k and than I get an email from LSXtv
Very nice work, the quality of build you've done, I'm positive you could have picked up a sponsor or two along the way.
We are waiting for forced induction in 30 days part 2! lol
