That is for the gte? But assume the same principle still applies. Would this not be the same with the non vvti 2jz anyway, i could get an aftermarket ecu and tweak things a bit? Can anyone tell me whether this engine would be better for a future big build or whether it will make no real difference at all? And whether it would just be the engine loom, ecu and engine that i would need to convert.
-
It doesn't effect your insurance though. I had an engine changed by my warranty when it went pop, insurance stayed the same. I was more interested to know whether the block would give any advantages. I doubt ill buy a tt lump as they seem hard to find, so it would be going single or supercharged, so i guess my question is this block better for that or no real difference.
-
Yer u can wife brush them. I did with mine. Or you can remove the bits replace which is. Heap looking at the bits u would need or sand blast and paint which is not cheap
-
Good point. I was thinking of getting a spare engine anyway so may get one of these rather than standard 2jz. For some reason though the vvti looks nicer :-/
-
Cool thanks. Yer so a 8bhp loss then, but more torque. Would be interested to see or drive one running this engine.
-
Oh apparently they put out less hp. Only 212, isnt the standard 2jzge 240.
-
Ok thanks. i would imagine i could get hold of one quicker from a car other than a us spec Supra.
-
Definitely going to to look into this. Guessing i could buy a bare block and would just need a new ecu. Any members on here had one of these in the Supra?
-
Found one Might have a think about trading up for one of these.
-
Hmmm thanks for the replies. I wonder how much one goes for.......
-
Ok thanks. Is it a newer engine than the one in the Supra then? Im assuming it would out more power being vvti.
-
So not all na's are vvti? is there any advantage?
-
Like i said check the structual points, sills, arches inside doors under boot carpet etc etc. But mine had similar rust on the heat shields and tank cover, but i removed shields and painted tank cover.

Ive seen a lot worse. most of that looks cosmetic, but your gonna want to fix it and treat with suitable paint too. The worst is on heat shields, the fuel tank cover and other less importnat bits. The small brackets can all be replaced or painted too. As long as the sills, arches and key areas are rust free i'd say that looks pretty normal.
-
Just came across this picture, was hoping someone could tell me a bit about it....
-
If you are talking about rust on the suspension arms (The cast iron ones) then this is too be expected, or do you mean rust on the actual underside of the car/sills etc. I have only recently bought my n/a supra and its a 1995 imported in 99 and done 100,000miles and it is completely rust free. So they are definitely out there!
-
This has got me wondering too. My steering feels uber light!
-
I have a decat pipe and it is brill. Has top quality welds and no problem fitting it. Very simple bit of kit i know but thought i'd add.
-
pm away :-)
-
Hmmm how much did you charge for that. Top work :-)
-
I think i may have to do it myself I dont have a steam cleaner or an air line! Could be a problem
-
Would it look as nice as yours
-
I posted a while back asking for places that do engine detailing and cleaning and have contacted a few but have decided that the prices they are asking it just seems to make sense to do this myself. I'm basically looking to see if anyone has done a guide at all and what products are best to use? Should i also be prepared to need to paint components or will the right product used well bring the bits back to life? The car is a n/a motor.
