2JZ 180sx driftcar (LOTS of questions)

Hello i am currently building my nissan 180sx with a 2JZ from a Aristo and R154 tranny, and am hoping to get some pointers from you guys:)

I am looking for a reliable driftcar with 350-450 hp at the wheels...
Whitch turbo should i go for? How mutch can the stock aristo turbos handle? And how mutch can the US-spec`s handle?
I know the injectors, turbos and camshafts are not the best on the Aristoengine, but how can i get the power i need easy and without getting to mutch lag?
The easier the better (the engine has not arrived yet and i am hoping to get ready to drift in april)

What injectors do i need to get the power?
Is it top or sidefeed in Aristos?
High or low ohm?

What camshafts should i buy?

Do i need to buy a topkit to get it reliable? (heard that the 2jz top isnt the best from factory...)

I was hoping to get a Spec stage 3+ clutch but who sells this? And will a 2JZ flywheel & 1JZ clutch fit bolt-on?

Do i have to change the coils?

Is there anything else i should buy for this build?

I am going to:
*Change the water & oilpump.
*Fit a FMIC and oilcooler.
*Use a AEM engine managment system
*Mount AEM broadband lambda, greddy oil/watertemp and turbopressure-gauge
*Change the airfilter(s)
*Use a greddy profec B-spec II boostcontroller

I am pretty sure i am forgetting something now....

This was a lot of questions but i am hoping you guys can help me decide what to do.

PS: I know the R154 tranny isnt the strongest but the a160 is very expencive and difficult to get my hands on. How mutch can the R154 handle with drifting? The spec stage 3+ clutch is picked out because it isnt that violent with the tranny.

Sorry about my bad english writing

This is my driftcar:

Ask on Supraforums. I've found this forum to be pretty inactive. You'll get better answers over there, and there are a few people doing 2jz swaps into 240sx's. I'm not sure what the differences are between a 180 and 240, but they can't be too severe

i also own a s chassis car man. there is a web site called zilvia.net and there is write ups on the swap. and houston240sx.com has a few ppl that have done the jz swap and would be able to tell you about it. hope i was of some help.

Going to check it out.

it'd definately be easier in a 180sx as your motors from a rhd drive car so you won't need to extend the wiring harness atleast. Just a quick question though, you believe the 2JZ can fit into a s13? It'd be a crazy swap haha.

yes its deffantly possible im doin to rite now.But if ur serious about driftin it i just wouldnt go with a 2jz u dont need it to drift.id recomend gettin a sr20 with low miles buildin it and puttin like a gt30 or maybe even 35 and tune it rite ull have 400 at the wheels on good boost. it'll more evenly balence the car for goin sideways.the 2jz's obviously a bigger heavier motor.. the Sr has plenty of power and tourque if u build it rite.But if ur set on the beast block pm me and ill tell u everything ur gonna need for it to fit in a s13.
