el_bandido Even when you do want to go a bit higher, you can put a TT head gasket on and up the boost a little. Safer to change the pistons though. 2JZ engines really are amazing bits of kit.
yeah the oem tt gasket is 1.6mm thick compared to the stupidly thin 0.3mm ge gasket i think just doing the gasket will result in around 9 to 9.5:1cr

As far as I know you can get lots of tuning bits for it, as jdm bits are available too. I've seen and heard of big power from these engines.
But you might as well look at all the options as there are a few engines and gearbox's available in this shell.
I will probably get told I'm wrong here, but I'd also consider an altezza rs200. You'll get a few people who say they want leather and cruise control. But you get same power in a lighter car and still get a lsd. And more importantly you can have a manual box.

mattlaw A little off topic, Dino have you looked at the xs power kits? The Americans seem to like them, but they're so cheep
I've been warned by Dan to steer clear of XS power for turbos and whatnot. Apparently their FFIM is good though.

15-03-2019, 01:05 AM #30hmm good point john, i wasnt thinking of the engine, but if your were to build and turn a tezza or a 200 into a sort of 300 replica in terms of looks the tezza would probably be the better base model to work from if you cant get an original 300
