ROFL pistons aren't "little stuff"! This is a 1000hp-capable 3L engine out of a $50K gt sportscar! Bearing tolerances are measured in hundred thousandths of an inch. Unfortunately, your neighbor's cousin bubba really doesn't have the machining tools or the skills needed to build a 2jz-gte.

If Toyota's oem 2jz-gte pistons aren't strong enough for you, just how much horsepower are you planning to make???

Regarding your question, Toyota sells 2jz-gte engines and v160 trannies.

the oem twin turbo setup already comes with smaller turbos. The brand is Toyota.

Big and mid-sized single turbo kits have several other brands to choose from.

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.
