Project Cosmo (not Aristo Anymore)

[B-Man]

$10K landed and complied for a luxo twin turbo 208kw standard.

They are going at Jap auctions for like Y280,000-Y500,000

What year model?

Ive seen some of the later 96-97 models sell for up to 700k fob

Problem is, id like sunroof and leather. These options seem to be fairly rare?

Which workshop is doing the compliance for you?

Cheers

[B-Man]

Dunno - waiting for fundage (6 weeks away) then I will contact Geoff @ Prestige and start the search.

I'm not sure when the SEVS workshops will be ready - but have at least 6 weeks before I am financial enought to start the process.

You found any decent resources on the web for the Aristos B-Man??

I'm trying to find some info on the conversion to Supra 6sp but can't find jack.

[B-Man]

Nah - there is SFA out there.

[d0p3y]

Hmm interesting... I know you need a custom tail shaft for it, but what else remainds a mystery. When I google it shows up threads from the AU Lexus forums but they appear to be down, damn it

[B-Man]

I think the Aristo is ground breaking stuff here in Oz and in other English speaking countries too - I specualate that all the after market resources are in Japan.

Just looking for a Turbo Kit - one would think that any 2JZ supra bolt on would fit - But after hearing from HKS through Greenline that the T04Z kit would need modification for clearances, I think this project will need a lot of custom work......

Aristo 2J on the left - Supra 2J on the right

I'd be interested to know how much the standard auto can handle before going pop... Think everyone modifying Aristo's is going to find this will be trial and error.

[B-Man]

Chatting on the aus Supra forums, the auto in the 2J TT supra can handle up to 350rwkw

hI B-Man, Daniel in the supra forums had 360rwkw and ran an 11.1 with the stock auto, and street tyres (not semi slicks) with big mph so there is definately 10's with better rubber, and lately put out over 430rwkw (yet to be run with this power) on sock internals, and the box seemed to be doing alright from what i heard.
