Default New Ride:Project 2JAYZ

Here she is! I know some of you have heard about it so I bring you the picures.The power plant is a 2JAYZ-GTE Aristo motor and the swap was done to perfection.All gauges work and the after many of hours spent adjustng coil overs I must say I nailed the Stance.I cannot say enough about the ride of the Lexus suspension mated to the Megan Coilovers,but its pretty much a match made in Heaven.The best way to describe her is just like a Grand National.Fast without sacrificing beauty or creature comforts like A/C and powersteering.

So with minimal mods its a 400hp twin turbo animal,but Santa Claus assured me the twin turbos will be fine until the single turbo conversion kit arrives.Not looking at going crazy with the build but a 550hp daily grinder is what the goal is set for












What she will look like when it's all said and done

Seen that car on Craigslist for awhile. Looks good and I've always liked those with the GTE swap.

I've always wanted a 2jzgte car, you can buy the swaps for reasonable prices online, most are cheaper than LS swaps even if they both have 6 speeds. Good find.

Yeah and you can boost these motors to the moon and make a stupid amount of Horsepower yet still retain good Daily Driver characteristics. Always wanted to build one but never found one at a good price that was done right.
