Uzair Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Hi! I finally took the plunge and have started an engine swap after having sourced a VVTI 2JZ-GTE - which now makes the Non VVTI 2JZ-GE redundant and of no use to me (also it now needed an engine rebuild!) The engine's already out of the car and can be picked up or I can have it delivered on a pallet - unsure what the costs might be though. You're more than welcome to arrange it yourself if more cost effective and convenient. At this stage I do not know if I can use the sump off the 2JZ-GE as the GTE I've sourced is a front facing sump and if someone has the relevant experience or know where I can get a conversion kit please please please do help out! Saw a couple across the pond for £1000 before shipping and customs and I can't come to terms with it! I haven't got an asking price so really just make me an offer for what you feel it would be worth and it's all yours. I do have an idea of what I'd like for it at least but then again we're all here for each other so I'll take whatever you want to give for it. The engine is complete with ECU, wiring harness, ancillaries etc (not sure of the sump at this stage). However, I feel it is important that you are made aware that the engine had a knock / rattle which lasted a few seconds every time I started the car. It did get worse over time. Visual inspection showed nothing, never opened it as I had planned a swap anyway so perhaps you might want to buy it as spares. I have absolutely no idea what would be wrong with it. I do know the seals are gone as it had only just started leaking oil from around the rocker cover. Sknin short it will not be a case of just throwing it in your project car and turning the key. It will need a rebuild. I'll try and get some decent pictures over the weekend. The mileage is a mix of KM's and Miles which currently equate to 110,000 miles.

Mike2JZ Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Your new aristo vvti motor will need some parts from your old 2JZGE, in order to make dropping the new engine into the Supra as plug and play as possible. You will need to transfer: - Upper & Lower Sump + Oil Strainer/Windage tray (You will have to drill & tap the oil return in order to hook up your turbo oil drain though, takes a few minutes to do) - Engine mounts & brackets - AC compressor (if you plan to run AC) - Powersteering Pump More info here: http://www.2jzgarage.com/2016/02/toyota-supra-na-tt-conversion-aristo-engine-differences-part-4/ If it were me I'd probably also hang onto the 2JZGE engine loom in case you want to modify that to work with your new engine setup, as the only other major hurdle with VVTI aristo swap will be getting the wiring loom to play nice in a MKIV supra chassis. Rough price guide that I would want to pay for your items: Complete 2JZGE & Auxilleries with no issues: £500-750 2JZGE missing the above items and needing a rebuild: £150-300 2JZGE Engine Loom: £100-200 2JZGE Manual ECU or Auto ECU: £100-200 Hope that gives you some indication of value and what parts you need for swap. good luck!
