If you're building a system from scratch, the turbos and plumbing or any other apparatus is gonna cost roughly the same too.

He's not. 1JZ's are good for 280 (Gentleman's Agreement) horsepower out of the box, and for 2500 bucks and a bolt in job, it's hard to turn down.
I mean, I'm all for putting a V8 in something, but when a perfectly good 24Valve twin turbo inline six is right there...

That really sucks man, but if you can pick up a front clip with the r154 I think you'll definantely be happier than if you were running the stock transmission you have.

My original plan was to use a soarer automatic motorset. thats what is commonly done when you already have a 5 speed sc. everything still works fine. Now I have a deposit on a soarer 5 speed motorset ( which is super rare and sought after) it uses the r154 ( soarer version ) Im paying about 700 bucks extra but this trans wont blow up right away like my stock 5 speed would have. In the long run im getting something better, just paying alittle extra now and waiting alittle longer
So overall its all working out for the better

thanks for being my guinea pig Blair, be sure to chronicle this swap well :-D
as for my supra swap troubles and the 1J...
The 1J fits perfectly into a JZA80 chassis (93+) if it's from a soarer, supra 1J is lots of work.
However the supra 1J fits into the JZA70 chassis, which is 88-92 supra here.
I bought one 1J that I got scammed on and never got my money back (one day I will track the fucker down), bought another one off ebay which was actually from a Soarer, and finally bought a third which I went and picked up with a minivan from Avis rentals after I pulled out the back seat. I eventually sold the Soarer 1J for close to the price I bought it for.
Despite all of this, I love the engine. It loves to rev and does so very freely, plus the stock ceramic turbos spool up stupid fast. Too bad they aren't worth anything over 14psi, but it'll be fun until they disintegrate.
oh okay - my dad went to school back in afghanistan with the owners brother, only reason i offered - got my swap there a while back
