Well, I must admit . This is the easiest swap I have ever done. In 1997 I was the first to do sr20det swap on the East coast and found out the hard way what to do and NOT to do. Well with this swap no body mods are required to install engine and stock intercooler piping. All the holes are there and bolt holes tapped. I started removing stocker at 5pm and finished completely installing 1jz 5 hrs later. I didnt even have to remove hood !!!
After I was done I must have looked over the car 5 times thinking this was too easy I must have missed something. but it was all right. from the heater lines to the power steering nothing was an issue. Im surprised more of these aren't on the streets for the simplisity and cost. I got this engine complete from www.jhotexports.com for $1200 . The wiring harness does need to be made 18" longer to allow the ecu to rest in its place. I have not gotten to the wiring inside yet but the outside plugs color match and plug right in. as soon as I get the throttle cable and ecu Ill let you guys know how it goes.
Very nice. For the most part putting a 1JZ into anything that already had a JZ engine is a pretty straightforward affair. Sometimes there are clearance issues with the turbos, otherwise its very straight forward. Your car looks great, it is finally as it should have been from the factory in this country.
Well, Okinawa is Nissan country. Very few performance toyotas besides Chasers/Tourers, Corollas and the odd ball Supra. Then you also have the official seal on the plate which i thought you couldnt remove. I never messed with mine, so i dont know. You should have a 3-series plate also. 5-series are reserved for small passenger cars 660cc-2000cc. I thought about getting rid of the Y-plate, but it almost doubles the costs for road tax, JCI, and whatever other tax the government comes up with.
W'sup everyone,
I've been on supraforums since my first car (2010ish), but this will be my first time posting. Hopefully i don't get trolled on.😑

Non-VVTi 1JZ-GTE here with 87,000 km's
Car starts up and fires perfectly fine, and no idling issues at all. Runs great except when I'm brake to a stop in neutral, to which I have to start it right back up again.
It doesn't happen all the time, but it is very annoying. Is this usually a...
1jz Vvti
This is on the Turbo side of the block, I have no idea what its for or what it does or what I should do with it?
Please let me know thank you!
Noticed that under load my 1JZ is bogging right at the transition point of positive boost. It almost backfires slightly depending on load, but once under boost runs like a scaled ape...
The on/off transition seems more single-turbo like than the normal smooth twin action. I had originaly...
Well, I have a Lexus gs300 with over 200k miles. I was going to turbo the engine, and when I took off the throttle body I seen oil. And also in the spark plugs, then I continued to remove things. Till I took off the intake manifold, so they had oil in there as well ? Crack heads ?
