The
1JZ-GTE twin-turbo engine retains its stock internals,
the stock cams and cam gears were left in place
and no headwork was done. The prime time player
under the hood is a HKS T04R turbo kit. The rest
of the turbo system consists of a Blitz KKK intercooler
and an APEXi air/fuel controller (AFC-II). The fuel
side consists of a Sard fuel line and fuel pump
as well as Sard 550cc injectors. Other tidbits include
an HKS oil cooler kit, OZ double-plate clutch and
full 3-inch Blitz exhaust system with 3-inch piping. |
The main objective
being to produce one of the quickest Soarers in
town, Ghassan couldn’t think of anything better
than a Nitrous Oxide System (NOS) kit. There he
goes for a 150-shot wet NOS kit purchased and installed
by Performance MotorSpares, one of the best tuner
garages in the city. To avoid any misconduct by
the NOS kit, he also equipped a CRY O2 cooling gas
kit to keep the whole course of action under control.
The NOS kit is believed to provide an extra 100
horsepower to the engine, although, it has not
been tested. “I have not tested the NOS yet.
It’s assumed to boost up the car’s horsepower
by a 100 units and I don’t think I’m
ready to unleash the true potential of my car at
this moment of time”, explains Ghassan. The
1JZ-GTE now produces more than 530bhp without NOS.

Apart from the drag GReddy turbo-charged Soarer
tuned by Performance Motor Spares, Ghassan’s
Toyota Soarer is, otherwise, the quickest one
in the United Arab Emirates.
