Andre should still have a 1JZ VVT-i + harness, brandon should have a 1.5JZ avail, Johnny also has a 1.5JZ + pieces of the 1JZ harness

Well if you willing to spend 3500-4500 possible to get the engine, tranny, harness and ecu from a soarer if you willing to spend 7000 you can get the entire car and repair it if you wish. It's a jzz31 they have the 2jzge. That car was not on the road for more than a week before it crashed is what I have understood.

Price isn't bad. Auto or manual? Either way I probably wouldn't need the transmission, I have another W58.
Friday i'm ordering. 1JZ twin turbos, so i'll know i have those.

Not wanting big power atm, i'll get a better transmission later one. W58 should be enough for now.

I have twins so I make the best of them, but buy a set off ebay? I would rather start putting a single kit together, what ever engine or car you get you gonna need fmic and piping, wastegate, turbo, oil lines, management, fuel pump just to name a few. I would rather start there than a set of turbos that are somewhere between 15 and 20 years. I see no cost saving with such option just a quick way to burn through money and get frustrated with the project.

I planned on getting everything piece by piece, just the turbos now because they're available. Yeah a single would be better in the long run.

Unless u are getting the twins already mounted on the engine that's dumping quite a bit of money that can be spent more efficiently. The twins require a lot o labour to install and I'm sure they aren't coming at a reasonable price
