  1. Yea, from all the new reading i have done it looks like thats what i'll need to do. although, i think i want to go with the 2JZ-GTE, i don;t know alot about cars, but from what i can gather it's the same as the 1JZ just with twin turbos bolted on, is that correct? is there anyone in australia, or more specificly in canberra that has had this done? a few other questions: who should i speak to about getting this done? i don't want to do it because i know alot about car sound systems, but no engines, so i need a pro. what sort of things will need to be modified? (apart from loosing the engine, obviously) and what kind of cost? i have found a few 2JZ-GTE engines for sale second hand, which i'm fine with, how much for a new one (if they exist) how much for the complete engine, (and new gearbox, diff if needed) would it all be?
  2. Hey guys, I've been looking around on here, and the rest of the internet for a turbo/super charger for my new car, i have never owned a turbo/supercharged car and think that a nice car like this would be a good place to start, unfortunately i have had a lot of trouble finding things, from what i have found tho, and what i want out of it, i want the TTE supercharger people have been talking about, i have found a few IS200's with it installed. I won't be upgrading or using it for racing just something to give it a little extra and get it up of the line faster. from what i understand a turbo would give it more power, but i would need to upgrade alot of the lexus's internal engine bits to get any decent return, whereas with the supercharger i don;t need to, i get a decent increase in power, without needing to do much more. can anybody reccomend other options, or let me know how/where i would go to get this kind of thing installed and tuned in canberra? Thanks for the help, Dale.
