ok I am new to supras I loved them ever since i got to ride in one. Im looking to get the 2jz engine this winter and build it up a little and put it in a car this spring. So i need help finding a motor and tranny first then i need help with the shell. and i also was wondering im seeing alot of people on here say swap the twin turbo system out and put a single turbo kit in i was wondering why and which set up is better?

"Build it up a little"??? Whatever for? It'll handle 1000hp bone-stock. How much horsepower do you want to make???

The oem twin turbo set up is sequential. Two smaller sequential turbos is "better" because it spools up quicker than one bigger turbo. HOWEVER, a single turbo setup is bigger because you have more choices of much larger turbos. There are aftermarket (large) twin setups, but they're mostly parallel (not sequential), so they don't spool up any faster than a single. Also, the aftermarket (large) twin turbo setup is more expensive than a large single turbo kit.

I was just meaning like new pistons and little stuff like that do you know where i could get a 2jz engine and tranny?

Ok so when i get the motor I should look to get smaller turbos for the twin turbo setup? what brand or what kind of turbos are good for the smaller twin turbo setup?

ROFL pistons aren't "little stuff"! This is a 1000hp-capable 3L engine out of a $50K gt sportscar! Bearing tolerances are measured in hundred thousandths of an inch. Unfortunately, your neighbor's cousin bubba really doesn't have the machining tools or the skills needed to build a 2jz-gte.

If Toyota's oem 2jz-gte pistons aren't strong enough for you, just how much horsepower are you planning to make???

Regarding your question, Toyota sells 2jz-gte engines and v160 trannies.

the oem twin turbo setup already comes with smaller turbos. The brand is Toyota.

Big and mid-sized single turbo kits have several other brands to choose from.
