I GOT 96 SUPRA N/A , I JUST WONDER IF I WANT SWAP TO 2ZJ-GTE AND
R1-54 TRAN , WITH SINGLE TURBO (AFTER MARKET), HOW MUCH DOES IT COST.
IF SOME 1 ALREADY DONE THIS BEFORE , CAN YOU GUY GIVE ME A LIST WHAT I NEED TO BUY AND WHAT I NEED TO BE DONE SO I BE READY FOR THE MONEY .
THANK SO MUCH
SORRY MY ENGLISH IS NOT SO WELL

IF THIS POST EVER DONE BEFORE SORRY I CANT FIND IT:dunno:
THANK ALL ADMIN

1) What is your horsepower goal
2) What is your application
3) Why have you selected the R1-54 Tran?

just want around 400-500 hpw
and r154 better than r158 i have in my GE now , cuz v160 way to much and rare to find good use 1.
thank for respond

You can't have "400-500 hpw" max. You can only have one or the other, or something specific in between, or some other specific number (not a range of numbers). You have to narrow this range down to a single number before anyone can help you to any degree of accuracy.

Is an r154 a 5-speed? ...from an MKIII? Unfortunately, I won't be able to help at all with this. I don't know much about MKIII's, or swapping MKIII parts into an MKIII. Hopefully one or more of the other forum members can help with this.

thank but to swap a GTE how much does it cost ?

Will you do the work yourself? Parts will probably cost $4000 or more. You need the engine, complete harness, ecu, ignitor, resistor pack, downpipe, and other items I'm not aware of. Labor for someone else to do the work will be about $1K I'd guess.

Be sure to get a leakdown & compression test on the engine before you buy it. Also be sure you have someone evaluate the leakdown & compression numbers who understands compression and leakdown tests, and is very familiar with both brand-new and used 2jz-gte engines.

thank for your tip , i will try find some 1 near me can run the test on the engine before i buy it.
if some 1 here ever done a swap gte-and r154 please give me some more hint :bigthumb: thank

Don't try it without the TSRM.

i know it sounds sketchy but search ebay ... 2jzgte with 6 speed and harness ecu fuel pump etc it just under 3500 shipped to your door with less than 50k on it just my .02 this woud be the most straight forward swap and probably the cheapest or you could always just turbo your car as is the 2j is a good engine and the n/a block is almost if not just as good as the turbo
