NA-T 2JZGE Supra Done RIGHT — Kevin Bertels’ MK4 Weapon

Kevin Bertels’ 1994 Toyota Supra MKIV SZ-R isn’t your typical build — instead of swapping to a GTE like everyone recommended, he doubled down on the 2JZ-GE and began crafting a truly personal NA-T monster.

In this Stance Auto Magazine feature, we explore Kevin’s long-running journey that began back in 2010. When the engine and gearbox were pulled for the first time, everyone insisted the only “proper” way was a 2JZ-GTE swap. Kevin didn’t budge. His vision was clear: build an NA-T setup on the original 2JZ-GE, tuning it the way he imagined — not how the internet said it should be done.

His first turbo setup came from an XS Power kit, kicking off years of learning, refining, and shaping the MK4 into the uniquely tuned SZ-R you see today.

This video gives you a look at the car’s evolution, the reasoning behind the choices, and how Kevin kept the spirit of the build honest to his own story.
