The Project Aero Toyota Chaser JZX100
In 2020 we imported our very own JZX100 as a daily driver. With the intentions of keeping it as just that, things later spiralled out of control (as they do). We set out on a quest to build a 500HP family sedan, backed by the factory auto with the intention to run it down the 1/4 mile and take it to roll-racing
AT THE DOCK
We had looked at a few upcoming JZX100's at the auctions and our preference was Series 2. Manual wasn't preferred as we also had another JZX100 that was manual at the time, and this would become the daily driver. How UGLY did it look!
Jesse Streeter on Speed Dial
First things first, wheels and coilovers are a must. We had to make this thing look somewhat decent. So we got in touch with Jesse from Streeter Corporation in Japan and got ourselves some Work T7R's in 18x9.5+22 (Big ups to Jesse for the impeccable service and fast shipping!)
Development at Endless Auto Solutions
After about a year of having the car with wheels, coilovers, shortened uprights and an exhaust. We began developing a few of our products that you now see available at Project Aero. First cab off the rank, our subframe brace kit. Followed shortly after, by our Project Aero diff bushes
The itch for power
Ahh yes, this is the part where we went well and truly down the rabbit hole. The goal: 500+hp through a stock bottom end 1JZ VVTI with the A340 auto transmission
All the upgrades
You can see where this is going can't you..

578hp @ 27 PSI (E85)
The finished result. 430hp @ 19psi on 98 and 578hp @ 27psi on E85 through the A340 auto. What an ANIMAL! Although sadly, we never got the chance to take it to roll-racing or take it down the 1/4 mile, but based off our knowledge, it would run a very low 10 second 1/4 mile time. The car has since been sold as we have finished our development. Unfortunately we didn't have the time to enjoy it as much as we used to. A huge thank you to John and the team at Endless Auto Solutions for all their hard work and dedication to this build
