Sorry I missed this thread (in Shops & Part Reviews?) ...but either way 800hp (680rwhp through a 6spd) is relatively simple with a Mkiv TT (2jz-gte). All you need is a fuel system with 680cc injectors, a mid-size (eg. 67mm inducer) single turbo kit, fmic, race fuel, and some supporting electronics (eg. MAP ecu or eManage). If it's a 6spd, you'll need to upgrade the clutch as well (eg. RPS twin carbon-carbon).

1000hp (850rwhp through a 6spd) isn't much harder, but you'll need larger fuel injectors (850cc), aftermarket cams (eg. HKS 264s) a bigger turbo (eg. 72mm), and an ignition amplifier (eg HKS DLI).

I'd like to stress that there is no need for a 'built' engine at this horsepower level, unless you're talking about 1000rwhp. A bone-stock 2jz-gte block&head will reliably support 800hp and 1000hp as-is.

Fwiw, I'd recommend you also include a set of wider-than-oem rims (& wider tires of course) in your shopping list, or all that 800hp+ will do for you is burn up tires. Again, wider is necessary for traction. For diameter either 17", 18" either is okay (you could even go to 19s in the front, but rears should be 18" or less to allow for a taller sidewall (=traction). Specs must be at least 11" wide in the rear, 9.5" wide in the front.

Are you looking for a 6spd or auto?

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
