Re: 1jzgtte

I have done the 1JZ swap. There are plenty of parts out there. First the easy stuff. When it comes to suspension there are plenty of options. TRD makes shocks and roll bars. There is a HKS Hypermax coil over kit available for the MKIII. Tien makes a Flex system as well. The 1JZ uses the R154 5 speed. Its the same trans. behind the 7MGTE. As far as exaust goes just get a muffler and generic high flow cat, and take it to your local exaust shop and have them run new pipe all the way back. Use a Flowmaster or Magnaflow unit. They will preform well, and last quite a while. Be careful when buying a cat. I have seen speed shops selling high flow cats for $300+. Don't buy them. You can get a good generic cat for about $70. Going this way the whole system sould come in around $400-$500. I've seen those fancy JDM coffee cans go for that price alone. Unless you are going for looks I just don't think it is worth it. There is a clutch type LSD that was available factory, and a quaife type LSD that was available in the JDM 2.5 R Supra. It goes on and on and on. If you want more send me an email. It helps to know what you will be doing with the car: daily driver, drag, auto cross, etc. Also your budget.
