The supra is automatic right now and I have looked into swapping, but most of the stuff I find is for 6speeds.

Also, what if I went with a 1JZ-GTE with the 5speed instead of the 2JZ for now. How hard would it be to put that into a MKIV?
Yes, it'll be a major difference...especially if you're planning to upgrade the 2jz-gte. The 5speed manual transmission can only take about half the max power/torque that the v160 can.

Please don't put a 1jz into an Mkiv. You might as well buy an n/a and stick with a 2jz-ge.

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.
