You think this HUGE worldwide auto manufacturer didn't think about it a million times before doing it? Ok they fucked up a little bit, BUT...they kept on and still are making improvements.
Isn't the 2JZ-GTE a great motor? Why did toyota stop making it? See where I'm going? ALl good things must come to an end to make room for newer and "better" things.
Alright honestly convince me on why should I swap a QR into my P11? It's a daily car that is driven hard, autocrossed, taken up the mountains etc. Cost of swapping to a completely different engine aside.
Right now with a VE I'm pushing over 170whp (what your QR does to the crank). It's still slow though, so I want boost.
Can I get 300 reliable wheel horsepower out of a QR for under $3k?
What are my ECU tuning options? Last I checked even AEM didn't have an ECU for the 32 bit harness (my P11 has a 32 bit harness that I needed to convert to a 16 bit OBD1 harness).

B15 and P11 SR20's had the same cat right next to the engine. As you saw lurok say his has 250k miles and is still running.
