Although I don't disagree with you in general, specifics of crazyasianr6's engine are important. How long has it been bpu? Has it been well-maintained? An example to the contrary is a 100K engine that has been bone-stock for all 100K miles, and has had regular full synthetic oil changes since day 1, vs. a 75K engine that has already been bpu for 50K miles, has been run up to 20psi boost on pump gas, and runs at the dragstrip every weekend. I'll take the first of those two engines anyday to upgrade. If you have no idea of the engine's history, start with a compression test and a leakdown test.

Trust me on this one listen to pwpanas, he probably has the most extensive knowledge about mkiv on this forum, but if you wanna spend the money blow the engine, you can then swap the 2jzgte and might as well get the v160 while your at it. You can get the turbo kit and at least get probably 350 maybe 400 hp and use the tranny you have. Good luck

Thanks for your kind words, mrgdm007!
I do agree with your advice regarding the n/a tranny.
