you cant compare power to PSI! prime example when i was on my stock twins at 15psi i was making about 375 HP, as soon as i went to a single turbo at 15psi i was making over 500HP. its apples and oranges

whatever swap you do end up using, please please post tons of pictures and lots of details on the wiring.

good point. PSI is relevant to turbo efficiency as well. ****ty turbo at 8psi may make 330hp while a great turbo at 8psy may make 425.

also depends on your intercooler efficiency. lower temp air at the same volume and pressure will have more mass/density/OXYGEN.


but i was just posting that as a quick example that the 3vzFE makes similar power to the 2jz.

can a fully build 3vz make ungodly power like a 2jz?? possibly. will take more $$$ as there are less off the shelf parts.
