Just figured Id post up the details about where my Soarer has ended up...

Id call it 95% finished, I imagine 100% doesn't exist as there's always something more

Regardless of the whys and wherefores, I was in the position of needing a new engine for my TT.
After much deliberation (well not really I wanted a 2JZ !) the decision was made to go for a 2JZ vvt-i

I openly admit I don't do nuts and bolts, Ive tried that and it doesn't work for me
But I can at least hold my head up and say that all the interior work was done by yours truly !

So when I say after much trial and tribulation I only mean from a hip pocket and impatience perspective... but here we are at the end of a very long and winding road !

Don't have a lot of pics of the progress of things but I couldn't be happier with the final product !

Bits and pieces list;
- 2JZ vvt-i
- Vipec V88 with vvt-i controller
- Borg Warner S300 Twin Scroll Turbo
- Sard 650 Injectors
- Mojo Performance Ignition Kit
- 6 Boost Manifold
- Turbosmart 50mm Wastegate
- Turbosmart BoV
- Walbro Fuel Pump
- Greddy Front Mount Intercooler
- Aluminium Radiator
- Blitz DSB Boost Controller
- Tein HA Adjustable Coilovers
- 4 Pot Calipers
- Koya 18" rims
- 3" Twin Exhaust with 100 Cell Cat

- Custom 2 Tone Black / Tan Interior
- Supra Front Seats
- TRD Steering Wheel
- TRD Shift Knob (5 kw right there !)

... And I'm sure there's more I've forgotten...

Final results I think speak for themselves from a performance point of view...

Performance / Boost is capped at the moment due to the injectors maxing out, theres a few more psi of boost in there with bigger injectors... maybe see that magical 400

Big respect and thanks to the boys at ESP for their work

Please enjoy the smut

Hmmmm. Great. Now the race car needs more power...

I'd say it was 22psi going by the right hand side of the graph Blake.

Looks good Mike.

Thanks guys

yep, 22 psi at the moment... they've said 2 or 3 more psi would be safe with the bigger injectors, or go E85 with bigger injectors and go bonkers

Race cars always need more power Ben...

Good stuff. Sometimes I wonder if instead of starting to mod my vvti 1j, I should perhaps have just chucked in a vvti 2j..

Yours is the second vvti 2J i've seen with one of those Bog Warner S300 turbos. I know what you mean by never being 100% finished. You'll just have another round of mods to go.

Hey Ali, yeah its a little bit laggy but once it starts to build boost you soon forget and just hold on !
And once its on boost it stays there through gear changes.

Either way, its a hell of a lot better than the initial setup which had an open rear housing, it didn't hit positive boost until 3800 rpm !

Hey James, the Borg Warner turbos seem pretty popular in the US... but I think they are largely for big power or dyno queen cars as they can handle a ton of boost while being a little less responsive down low
