the ge bottom end holds up to 400 horses. what size of turbo, how much boost, are you planning to get it tuned as well? and you said a 2j supra head? is it the gte or the ge?

If you plan on 600 hp, Expect on spending around 10k or more for a decent setup. Good Luck B)

only same thing in the GE and GTE bottom end is the block and the crank. the rods and pistons are different. GTE bottom end has oil squirters for the pistons as well where the GE does not. I have taken apart both motors, and there is a difference. As far as the NA-T route, its a lot more pricey to go that way. Buying the GTE swap is cheaper.

Major thumbs up on that bud :cheers: Going for 600 HP reliably and having it as a daily is going to be pricey. Now if you're going for a one time run and not caring about the motor, then yes the 600 HP is easy to achieve. Either way, good luck with the build. If you run into any problems or need parts, ask dcfish the walking encyclopedia/parts store :whistles:
