I am sure someone from this club has done it before, and then he went for a 1jz, then to a Supra =]

I did toy with the idea of using the same 1gfe block with 1ggte bottom end (pistons, rods) and then custom turbo manifold. The manifold pattern between the 1gfe and the 1ggte are different so be prepared to spend some $$ on a manifold.

Just put a different engine if you want power. Turboing the 1gfe isn't really reliable in my eyes and the gain is minimal.

Defiantly the cheapest and easiest option.

LoL 15K for a proven already built Altezza Turbo AND you get to keep your car or 10K for a 1J conversion + hours and hours and hours of labour.

mmmm I know what I would choose had my Altezza not popped up :)

So confused from this statement

Unless you want to make some real power.

Trying to add a turbo in any way to a IS200 or Altezza is going to be more the a week off the road, A conversion is going to be 2 months plus (That's if he knows what he is going and all parts ready) we all know a good conversion will take much longer!

All he needs to do is sell his car for 10-11k and buy cookies for 13.5k which means its a very cheap turbo option about 2k.

I don't know how it could be any cheaper and easier and hassle free with no time off the road.

lol - if I give you 10k, can I pick up my conversion in a week?

Real power starts when you can't use any more - but you crank it anyway.

Doing any sort of engine conversion into our chassis is a nightmare - not comparable with soarers and chasers. There are so many aspects that are simply not compatible. If there were a single tradesman with ALL the required skills to get it done - he could not do it all in a week. I dont think Ive met anyone with ALL the skills to make it happen - when you look into it they have always outsourced something. Which would make you pretty special if you could do it Winnie, in any amount of time.

A mate and I have done a manual 1jz into a Cressida in 2 days about 20hours!

Which included pulling the 7m out and fitting the 1jz, wiring, plumbing and welded an exhaust etc but that's because they share the similar chassis as the JZX81 chaser most of the parts just swap over.

The wiring alone on a is200 JZ conversion is over 40 hours.
