Hi, just joined. I have a Australian delivered series 2 HC 929. It has new 2k paint job, 2jzgte with gt35r, ported head, ARP head studs, 1.5 shift kit, 550cc injectors, W2A intercooler, Profec B and torsen LSD.
My other car is a 2003 2.5T XT Forester.









That is all.

welcome!

Everytime I see this engine bay.. I think WOW! :O
A 2JZ in a Mazda... I take my hat off to you! That's "having a crack at it" :p

maan i wish i had a skill and funds to do this to mine:)
there is already a few HD's with 1jz and 2jz...but no HE's...
but to be honest i rather do a 13b conversion:)or even 20b, well ofcourse once i win that damn lotto:)

It will cost around 8k doing it all yourself. Thats a lot less then you would spend on a slower car, less cool car. That includes purchasing the motor etc.
So far i have spend around 11k, but that includes purchase price of car, 2jz front cut, water/air cooler set up, torsen diff, shift kit, single turbo conversion, full exhaust, suspension, etc. So you get a lot for the money. Plus the price of hoses, relays, solder, etc adds up quick.

That's pretty good actually! I would expected closer to the $20K mark! For just over $10K on what I see with your car.... not bad at all!

Oh yeah, that includes the new 2pac paint job too. I think that was around $500 worth of materials, including sand paper, primer, undercoat, base coat and clear coat, with all hardeners etc.
Ive now given up trying to keep the cost down, as i have higher expectations for it now. Instead ill just spread the cost over a longer period of time.
It got to pretty much the point it is now while i was at uni. Then i moved 850kms away from home and left the car behind for a year, then just recently drove it up to where im living now, so progress will continue.

NICE!!!!
MUST continue this build up! Love to see what else you have in store for this sleeping beast
