2JZ-GT Opinions?
2JZ-GT Opinions?
''2JZ-GT which is the non turbo version but has been converted to a single HKS GT PRO turbo with HKS manifold and metal headgasket kit. It also has had extensive headwork done to it. It comes complete with ecu, wiring loom as well as a HKS F-CON PRO V GOLD ecu and its wiring loom harness''
Presumably it'll be cheaper than modifying my 2JZ-GE although I have not discussed a price as of yet!!

14-07-2016, 12:47 AM #3I haven't discussed a price as of yet, not sure how much this would be, checking before to see if it's worth getting into a price discussion.
It sounds to me like a 2JZ-GE engine with a turbo conversion. So it sounds like you should compare the price of swapping in an already-converted 2JZ-GE with adding a turbo to your 2JZ-GE.
I don't think it's comparable to putting in a 2JZ-GTE.

14-07-2016, 12:49 AM #4Maybe it's just me, but I've never heard of a 2JZ-GT, is that definitely what you've been told ? The "T" would indicate turbo. When I Google for 2JZ-GT it only finds people who have mistaken the 2JZ-GE.

My consideration is that with it having the head work already done and the HKS gaskets/turbo, standalone ECU etc, would it then be comparable to the GTE?
I guess, as you say, it would then need to be cheaper than doing it all yourself, which I would have thought it would be as head work etc from scratch is expensive!!

14-07-2016, 01:02 AM #5It is a converted 2JZ-GE Steve, think they've just renamed it cos it is a turbo'd version of mine.

I imagine a 2JZ-GTE would have better top-end possibilities for power, but maybe a 2JZ-GE with turbo would be enough ?
What head work has been done exactly ? And how many miles has the engine done ?
As Dan said, a lot depends on price.

14-07-2016, 01:08 AM #6Depends what exactly you're after, I guess. Has it come out of an IS300 ? Because if not, I wonder what else might be needed. Does it have an intercooler ? That doesn't seem to have been mentioned.

14-07-2016, 01:12 AM #7Something else to consider is - what are the characteristics of that turbo ? e.g. is it a huge one that's going to give you lots of power but lots of lag too ? Or a smaller one that will spool up more quickly but be more limited on power ?

Thanks for the inputs all things I shall go and find out, then go from there, cheers steve.
