A/C and PS is no problem on the 2jz.
For a cheap transmission on a daily driver, I recommend the OEM automatic, with a part throttle accumulated shift improvement kit and around 3200rpm stall on a 4:1 rear gear. Dont cheap out on the converter, that is the main key to getting good performance from an automatic. Good clutches also help, but it isnt
always necessary.
A turbo blanket and some heat wrap really go a long way to cleaning up the exhaust side and cooling it down under the hood.
if you will be on the highway
alot then a 3.5:1 rear gear is a better option. Use a smaller turbo, though, and a smaller stall, around 2800 instead.
this car was built about five years ago. It went 11's on the track around 120mph with "first pass ever" driving. Turbo is 6776 precision. I felt the exhaust housing was far too large but the owner was spraying nitrous and using drag radials to spool/launch so it didn't matter. A/C, PS, of course. Around 26psi it produced 800RWHP with the OEM engine internals, including camshafts, and C16 leaded fuel. The total swap cost was about 18k, including the vehicle, and paint.
The business that painted/swapped the chassis is still around doing these swaps. PM me for more info.
