1JZGTE swapped Fortuner

[Preppy]

Here is a nice and clean modified Fortuner with a 1-JZ VVTI single turbo engine. This is the latest 1-JZ in production and is as bulletproof as previous JZ engines. Its seen here as a stock engine with its 280 bhp from Toyota. This engine will on stock internals keep up with 750-800 bhp.

This Fortuner has been given a Vigo 2wd gearbox so its now only a rearwheel drive car. As the owner says; Its a Bangkok car and I never need the use of a 4wd.
From what I think, who really does. Its true some Fortuner owners might use the 4wd on a few occations, but who really needs the 4 wd on this car here. Not too many out there who wants to bash this fine car offroad I belive.

Some small modifications to the clutch and the connecting rod is needed when using the Vigo box.
This vigo gearbox will for sure not hold up as much power as the JZ boxes so if modifying this engines more I would go for either the 5 speed manual from a 1 JZ, the 6 speed Getrag monster box from the 2 JZ or the JZ A340E auto gearbox with cool mods as F1 paddle shifters.
If using JZ boxes no clutch or rod mods are needed. Then you need some mods on your driveshaft. Mods like that are just easy and painless work.

In my opinion. Just lower this car a few more centimetres and go for a bigger turbo setup These engines are so easy to get 500 bhp from and are more than reliable. As an example if you dont have any good friends in the business, a 800 bhp setup will set you back some 300.000 B on a 2 JZ engine in Bk.
And for you guys who think a 5-600 bhp setup would be too much. Its all possible and is all about the brakes, springs, shock absorbers, bushings, rims and tires in a proper setup to make it work good.
Height adjustable TEIN coilovers and Brembo brake kit is already availbale to the fortuner so with some nice Japanese VOLK rims on Yokohamas, and off you go!

just keeping your minds busy...
