Not for now.. I paid for the new bigger turbo and got shafted and never saw it.
I'll be happy to just get her up and running, painted and enjoyed.
On the same turbo and with e85, I think I can squeeze a little more out of it,
and MUCH MORE SAFELY. It was more than fast enough before.
It will be again.
Honestly, I REALLY have been contemplating the unthinkable...
as the High Horsepower/Reliability is just too good to ignore. Plus
I do have good access to parts/tuners for that around me.
I am pretty sure I will probably go that route in the future (a couple of rebuilds down the road).

IF I do it, it would be around a the Full Mariah Widebody Kit Which I have owned since 2004 (and haven't installed).
With my cage/rearend/fatass - my car isn't light, and it's not a corner carver.
I wouldn't mind the 2JZ weight then...
I imagine it would be like a modernized version of this:

Awesome, thanks for the info. Hope to see some of you all's build threads. My 1st gen has everything respeed offered and now just picked up a 13bre motor minus the factory turbo. Wanting a safe 300-350 but not real sure the route to take just yet as I have never messed with a RE motor nor read anything on them. I assume if I think along the lines of a turbo II swap into a 1st gen then I would be on track.

I found a busted set of FD irons and had my engine builder remove the sleeves and install them in my RE block.

I'm not going to speak for everyone here but it's a good idea to swap the exhaust sleeves on the RE; they are restrictive and cannot be ported because they are hollow.

10,000 miles later - One of the pins fell out and the sleeve was hanging out the side and *almost* into the turbo.
I thought my Turbo was blown, but I was lucky that I had a piece
of sleeve stuck in my exhaust manifold, and was blocking the flow to the turbo. It was REALLY close.
I wouldn't bother messing with the sleeves, unless you have to.
When I put her back together now, I will be sleeveless altogether,
since I don't want different levels of back-pressure between the two rotors (one with sleeve/one without).

secondly the stock sleeves have some anti reversion properties, and its untested but maybe the cosmo is better than the FD?

I will look and see if you have a buildup post, thanks.
Basically my RE motor is stock minus turbo's, flywheel, and will have either 720's or 1200's injectors in secondaries. Will swap front cover to a S4, oil pan can stay due to having RE-speed front cradle but might swap it out later when I build the motor.
Want to get running first.......
Might go carb'ed NA for now until I figure what ECU and configuration to go with.
Not sure if I want to toss on my S5 turbo or my FD twins.
Car is a cruiser/driver and weekend autocross car.

GSL-SE rear end, complete Re-Speed car so really dont have to use a SE oil pan but will swap it out anyhow. Have a brand new S4 waterpump housing and S2 front cover. Will really have to decide on what ECU to run.
Car handles awesome but needs power. Pulled the 12a out to go turbo. Since I got the RE motor the Turbo II motor will most likely end up in the REPU.

I have one, too. Not sure how much power I have, however the butt dyno says it's pretty quick. I got the Dynolicious App for my i-phone, so I can get a HP estimate once I weigh the car.
I just added water/methanol injection. Since I've blown the motor once, I'm trying to avoid a repeat performance.
As for the exhaust sleeves: I have a hard time believing that the -RE parts make more power than the -REW ones. If you look at them side by side, you'll immediately see why.
