The JZX100 (or the later models of it) use a 1JZ single turbo same as the late model Soarers (as the early ones use a twin setup). Both the late soarers and the Chaser also have VVTI. Essentially they are the same engine.

In terms of twin setups.. I'm assuming you're talking about Japan as theres barely any JZX100's in Australia... if you are yes it has been done many times over. I disagree with the comment that people buy single turbos because they are "cheaper". A turbo conversion is not a cheap exercise either way but consider why someone may buy two singles as opposed to a large single on a GTR. They'll have different characteristics in responsiveness, power, lag etc etc.

I wonder what happens to the engine management system if, say, one wants to convert a twin turbo setup on a supra to a single turbo setup. Does aft ECU like PowerFC can be used to control a twin turbo setup and/or single turbo interchangeably?

Maybe you're right, this will be extra $$$ involved changing the ECU when you converse twin to single turbo/vice versa?

On the other hand, if Toyota decides to abandon the twin turbo setup will that be due to production cost/meeting emission requirement in Japan?

I think JapLink in NSW already start importing JZX100 to aus, but hey, I dunno, check with them. HPI said their phone no is 02-97160857. Do they have a website btw?

I'm 99% sure that the JZX100 is already a single setup.

Anyway the Chaser has already been discontinued in Japan as of this year. I think all 2JZ and 1JZ engines are being discontinued.. some already are such as the JZA80 Supra, Mark 2 I believe has also been discontinued. Yes these engines are being discontinued for emissions. No idea about production cost.

Yes if you buy an aftermarket turbo you should buy a new ECU. Its not really as simple as just changing a setting on the handset I think. With different turbos you probably need to upgrade different things. For example in a GTR if you edn up getting a single conversion it is usually a pretty big turbo. This means upgading a lot more things than just the turbo.... such as intercooler, ECU, injectors and the whole fuel system like fuel pump an regulators etc, AFM's lots of things..... in order for all these things to be tuned properly aftermarket ECU is needed.

So what r they gonna use to replace 2JZGTEs then? Is Nissan also abandoning the RB engine soon? Looks like the death of the turbo era :D **sigh** I read that R35 skyline (or V35 callit whateva) would not likely to be turbocharged.... I wouldn't mine tho if they pack all these cars with V8, V10 or V12 & 400kw inside heheheh

I can't remember the replacement. But many of the toyota turbo models such as the Mark2, Laurel and Chaser have been merged into a few models that bridge the gap between the different kinds of cars...... none of the engines are turbo... YET!

I THINK the RB's have already been discontinued... the V35 at the moment has an atmo engine.... dunno if turbos are on the horizon...

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
