Welcome Cap!

I'm curious about the engine.... I'm no expert in this area but have never heard of a 1jzgte with VVT-I.... I'm guessing this is something imported from Japan but thought they were only making 2JzGTE when VVTI came out in 1997. Any idea on the source of this motor?

engine: 2000 2.5L single turbo 1jzgte with vvti (with matching ECU)
trans: 2000 4 speed auto trans with matching torque converter (came with engine)

Cap I hate to be the bearer of the quite obvious. But, you just unloaded a lot of cash on this car, we are not the ones who should be answering the questions...... the people you bought it from should.

Especially, with the complexity of a turbo setup. The car should have come with a stack of paperwork and dyno sheets to match.

Heres the Thing i got this car for cheap and havent dumped alot of money YET! And the car is flawless and has zero problems Except for the speed sencor issue and the guy that i bought it from is the guy that did the swap and he said that he could figure out everything but the speedomitor issue! Other than that the car is sick fast and Clean! The motor looks like it came in the car from the factory! And It has very low miles on it!
