vvt-i swap
Misleading title but just some quick questions. A lot of the vvt-i to non vvt-i involves the jdm turbo engines that I've research. But my engine in factory and it blew a rod through the block. Luckily I was able to pick up an 02 IS300 vvt-i long block. The blocks are the same standard oem manufactured. But the IS300 intake camgear/camshaft is equipped with a vvt-i. So by simply swapping heads I will have a ready engine.
My question is: since the blocks are identical can I use either model gasket kits and components on the block?
Any inputs would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You should be using your original components, but I think there is a slight difference in the block for the vvt-i oil port.

You should be fine using the VVTI bottom end, however you will need the oil pickup and the whole oil pan from your old engine.
I am sure you should be fine if you use all the sensors and components from your old engine. Here are some things I am not 100% sure about:
- Not 100% sure if compression remains the same between engines (9.5:1)
- I don't know if there are any different emissions components exclusive to each motor
I currently have an IS300 2JZGE on a stand with all peripherals on it. hit me up if you need a picture of anything.
