2jzgte swap advice

[warmkop]

Yes like snap changing gears and spinning on purpose then it just matter of time until something breaks. But like you said driving normal it should last but yes it also depends on the condition of the boks. I have seen people race a lot of events on a box and the next box will just break.So it depend on the condition of boks and what condition you put it through

1000hp is not that easy and it is very expensive

A big intercooler will introduce a LOT of extra lag at the ~500rwhp level. Think about all that extra volume of air that needs to get compressed, with those very small oem twin turbos, before you begin to make boost.

Again, 500rwhp isn't a cost-effective point for the 2jz-gte.
