Stop visiting american forums then

I've always heard Norbie talk of his Aristo turbos as having non-steel wheels, but i'll allow him to make the talk.

[PlacentaJuan]

yea i thought it was only 1j's that came out with steelies in seppo land.

[dori dori]

Thanks just wanted to hear from the experts.

This of curse means nothing to me as my turbos are off a JZA80.

Americans did not deserve the greatness that is 1jz

USDM jza80's steel wheel
JDM jza80 ceramic

Aristo _____ wheel ?

(For norbie to fill in the blanks )

[Norbie]

All JDM 2JZ-GTE's have exactly the same turbos, whether Aristo or Supra, and regardless of whether it has VVTi. And yes that means they're all ceramic.

The USDM 2JZ-GTE gets steel-wheeled turbos, but what most people don't know is they're actually smaller than the JDM turbos. Their advantage lies in the fact you can crank up the boost to insane levels with less fear of destruction, and more importantly, they have a larger wastegate which is the achilles heel of the JDM setup. That's why the Yanks manage to squeeze more power out of their stock twins.

Oh and there's no such thing as a 1JZ in the US (apart from JDM imports of course).
