Excellent job!

What year is your car and which year GTE VVTI swap did you use? The 2nd Gen GS's have a similar harness setup as the IS's, right? Did you have any wiring issues? Or was it as simple as the 1st Gen GS GTE swap (Have done 4 of those, now... plug-n-play except for the TACH signal). Did you simply by a GTE VVTI swap for the right year-range of your car and just plug it in (as far as wiring is concerned)??

I've swapped a 2jzgte into my SC300 which required some extensive wiring. I've even swapped my 94 Supra T88 from and auto to a 6speed. I can handle the task, but if I don't have to do too much.... all the better

Thanks,

Roll the fenders so these wheels looks kinda werid and tucked in. My 20s should be ready soon just gotta find time to get the tires mounted. F20x8.5 R20x10


Hey Aristor what kind of wheels are these...i see you got some new ones...but i kind of like these.
