I will say the 2JZGTE looks all well and good when you think about it but there is alot of moding taking place to get one in. First you have to do a single turbo mod because the rear turbo wont fit against the firewall. You could always sit there and sledge hammer that problem away but then you run into the fact that there is a heater back behind there and it doesnt like things hitting it. You will have to have a downpipe specially made for it. The cross member and mounts dont just line up there a little modding there. Lastly the wireing is all reall different and there will be days of sitting in front of a mark TSRM looking at the wireing wondering where your stuff will mate up. On the other hand the 1JZGTE came in mark 3's in japan and is the little brother of the 2JZ and most of the parts between the 2 interchange. And so far I have not seen it uncommon seeing one pushing well over 1k horsepower. If you have a post 89 and a little patience with extending the harness then the 1JZGTE is the way to go and also it is cheaper.
