Are you sure? This means you'll need a single turbo kit immediately (you'll be dumping the oem twin turbos, and never get a chance to experience that low-rpm boost). I'd recommend 425rwhp as a more reasonable first stage.

Cool. Be sure to budget for about $35K+ in upgrades.

Engine
capable of standing up to 800+ rwhp reliably
components that work together..
No problem. The oem 2jz-gte, bone stock, will handle that just fine.

Ok. Budget $6K or so (with fmic) plus about $2K or so for install.

any engine or boost management systems?..
The oem ecu & ignition system will handle 700rhwp without any issue at all. For 900rwhp you'll need an aftermarket ecu (eg. AEM) with wideband O2 and an ignition booster (eg. HKS DLI)

The oem 6spd and diff both handle 900rwhp no problem. You'll need an aftermarket clutch, single disk is fine for 500rwhp but for 900rwhp you'll need a triple disk.

drag tires.

Cooling
aluminum radiators?
inter coolers?..
You'll only need one (front mount) intercooler.

Hard pipe conversion comes with the fmic.

Nitros Oxide?..
For a 900rwhp turbo, NO2 will help with the spool-up

You'll need a complete fuel system upgrade for anything over 525rwhp.

Suspension requirements depend heavily on your application

900rwhp won't be street-legal.

I would like a list of all the parts necessary assuming as a low milage stock 2jzgte with no problems.i want to do the work myself. any essential specialty tools needed or any tools that will make this easier.

would it be cheaper to buy a pre prepped kit and build it from scratch such as on suprastore.com..
In the long run, it'll be far cheaper to buy a pre prepped kit from Sound Performance or HKS...

About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information?
