so iv decided to replace my blown turbos with a single.. i found this on e bay and before i fork out all that money would love an opinion on if it looks ok to get?

The stock GTE motor puts down about 285WHP if the stock twins are in great shape. Install this turbo kit and boost to 9PSI on stock internals, headgasket and injectors. You'll be putting down 330WHP. No need to open the motor or mess with the injectors or tranny at 9PSI, just run 93 Octane and a fuel tuning system (SAFC, MAPECU, etc - I can help you pick the best option for your ECU). Want to go for more power? Change the injectors and the head gasket with our custom 2JZ-GE NA-T gasket set that lowers your compression. This is more involved and there are many options based on the type of driving you want to do, budget, skill, tranny and ECU version. Just tell me the boost you want to run and I will let you know what you need to do for injectors, tuning and tranny. I help you answer these questions via email and I support these kits 100% by email and 24/7 clubna-t forums. Stuck with a question on the weekend? Not when you buy my kit!



This kit includes all the mechanical components you're going to need for your install:

2JZ-GE or GTE manifold T4, stainless TIG welded and braced
Down Pipe, Stainless TIG welded with V-Band and football flanges
V-Band clamps
Gaskets (DP, header, turbo, oil fittings, etc)
Oil Lines kit with all fittings and flanges
24x12x3" FMIC (upgrade available if you want to go bigger)
44mm Wastegate
Stainless Screamer pipe
T4 67mm Turbo (capable of 650WHP at 30 PSI on 2JZ)
50mm V-Band mount Blow off Valve
Intake pipe and more!


To complete your install you should have the following, which you can get from me at a great package price you won't beat anywhere:

FMIC Piping kit, Fuel tuning device (MAP ECU, AEM FIC, SAFC, etc)

appropriate gauges (AF and boost are recommended)

If you want to go beyond the 9PSI - add the custom 2JZ-GE NA-T gasket set ($200) and electronic dual stage boost controller ($200).

It's not for our motors and even if it was, stay well clear off dodgy ebay crap. You will not get a decent single turbo install for lee than $4000.

What are your goals? Maybe you should just rebuild your standard turbos if you're not going for huge power.

Veronica that kit you linked to is for a 2jz non turbo motor.... not a 1jz

also be aware of REALLY cheap turbo kits on ebay, most of 'em use cheap inferior chinese turbos etc and there are quite a few of them floating around on ebay, if the price is too good to be true...it usually is! as they say, you get what you pay for!

really, i asked him about it told him what i had and he said it would suit it.. what can you guys suggest i do? my car is at the mehcanic in pieces and i just want it back.. i put it on here for sale and no one was interested so my goals i guess is just to fix it and re list it. in saying that if i have a badass turbo that is fun to drive my love for doing it up might relight.. so what do you think my options are? do you have a link or know of where i can get a single kit to have a look at? 4k is alot of money to poor into a turbo also :-(

Contact Walter Gilmore on this forum. He knows a guy who can rebuild them for around $1000 and I'm pretty sure he's in QLD.

You can get 260rwkw out of stock turbos quite easily which is roughly one and a half times more than standard which I'd say most people would be more than happy with.

munro racing turbochargers is who sebastian is talking about i think. Glenn will do whatever you want to the stock turbos at a wonderful price. dont bother with this kit. get the twins rebuilt by him.
I guarantee you will be kicking yourself if you buy this kit, the twins will be so much easier, better, cheaper and more reliable

I have a had a set rebuilt (and high flowed) through Munroe Racing Turbochargers. I haven't put them on the track car yet so cannot comment on any performance issues, but he was very easy to deal with either on the phone and via email.
