Irace86,
I be leave the the Pluge and play ECU by pure does require the GM throttle body to be used, so i was planning on going that route. |

Spitefire481,
I'm pretty sure ill go with Pure's plug and play harness, it will make things so much simpler and i get to keep all the OEM cabin toyes. Ill be stiking with the stock twins, like i said might send them off to be rebuilt. Wont know till i get the engine. I just cant drop another 4-5k on a single conversion. Thanks for the input |

I need to correct myself on one thing. If you are getting a JDM engine then your injectors are smaller (440cc vs 550cc I believe) and the turbos are smaller and ceramic, so BPU upgrades may not net 425whp like USDM turbos. Moreover, what Spitfire/Pure said about the turbos leaking or being broke is probably accurate. Those ceramic turbos are known for crapping out.

: Pure turbo offers twin 2JZ CT20A upgrade turbos for about 1300, It would cost 1000 if i get the 300 dollar core deposit back. You have any experience with these? There web site claims they will support 600HP, that would be more than enough. Also this is a much cheaper option then going to a single turbo set up, but still replacing the OEM turbos.

Look at pages 2, 3, and 4. He tried massaging the tunnel open at first, and ended up just cutting and widening it. Obviously the stock trans mounts were completely removed before he did this. |

What's your goal with the swap? Power output, usage, etc. If you're really only after ~400whp, why are you doing a 2J swap? I assume you've considered that the car will never pass CA smog after the swap too, right? Quote:
Better pads, higher temp fluid, done. If you're not tracking it, you really don't need to overthink this.

Unfortunately, most people do builds in stages instead of all at once unless they have deep pockets. It is less efficient, but it also allows them to enjoy the car while they save for the next stage. It also may be just as inefficient to do a single conversion now if the turbo and wastegate he chooses is sized to the engine's and car's current capabilities, but won't have the size for future power goals when he finally has the money to upgrade the rear end, as an example. Also, he isn't in Layfayette CA. He is in Layfayette LA, ie, Louisiana. Most rotors come slotted or drilled for more bite/grab on the lead edge of the pad, which I believe he mentioned. Whether that adds to better feel or engagement versus stopping distance is not worth a debate here. Same with stainless steel lines versus OEM. Some feel better oil helps with feel too, even if they never plan to get it hot enough to warrant performance oil aka high temp fluid. Pads are probably enough for the street and canyons for better engagement/grab and reduction in brake fade/wear. Regardless, it is clear he can save a few grand on not buying a BBK if he isn't tracking the car.

I somehow read LA as CA... reading is hard. Quote:
I've never seen slotted or drilled rotors claim that... it's always about letting out hot gasses (hint, almost all modern pads don't off gas like old ones), or more cooling surface area (at the cost of less thermal mass).

Just the first link in a google search, but yea, mostly it is there to vent gases and that is less of an issue like you mentioned, but... Quote:

If you read the full details, it's to remove glazing to help with bite (at the cost of pad life). If the pads aren't glazed, it doesn't help. And if you're glazing pads regularly, you're running the wrong pads.

It doesn’t say anything about glazing that I read. It did mention the sharper slots would lead to greater pad wear. Maybe implied?
