It's an automatic btw, want the link?
The 2jz-gte and the 2jz-ge are similar engines, but they are not the same. The non-turbo ('ge') version has higher compression pistons (which is bad for forced induction), a completely different cylinder head, and no oil squirters to cool the pistons. Add that to the fact that the entire abs braking system, transmission, differential, ignition, ecu, suspension, etc., etc. on the non-turbo mkiv is all downgraded. Without a huge investment, it'll never be anywhere near what you'd get if you'd start with a tt in the first place.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. 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? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
