Hi I'm looking to turbo my is 200 and looking around the web I have found a few ways to do this but which is the best for the money and has potential of more upgrades,

2jz loads of power but initial cost is really expensive round 15k

1jz same as above but just a bit cheaper

1ggte been told is almost a straight swap but does the wiring need changing? And wot else is needed to convert the car ie gearbox etc

1gfe just fit a turbo kit but pistons and rods are over 2 k so will make the conversion quite expensive

Please I need your advice the car will be a second car soon so time is not that important

Thank you in advance

Its a matter of deciding how much you want to spend.

1GFE with gte or uprated pistons and a turbo you can push some good figures.

1GGTE is an easy fit but parts are extremely rare and ultimately need to be custom

2JZ is hard conversion but lots of parts available

depends on what GTE you get, the gen 1 has a different crank so youll need that,
the gen 2 and 3 have the same crank as the FE so you can use either.

as for power, people are running 300bhp

Any idea where the best place is to get some pistons and rods as I can not find any where that does them for the 1g-gte.

Will the 7m-gte pistons and rods got?

They are rare mate, very rare, you could import one from aus?

To wire it in you'll need a standalone ecu or some ingenious wiring to wire the Lexus and 1ggte ecus in at the same time. Can be done though. A lad I know in Barbados has done exactly that
