Question to Jeff Tsai / anyone that can help

hey man I have seen all of your videos on YouTube especially the ones on rebuilding the VVTi pulley multiple times I have not been real active with my GS 300 it is all stock right now but it is starting to consume oil pretty bad I am Not sure if it is the vvt-i pulley or valve seals or something but I recently sold my other project and have been thinking about a GTE swap but either way with a manual t56 I have the adapter plate for the 2j bellhousing to the T 56 I just need a clutch yet my grandpa bought this car brand new and left it to me when he passed away my main goal is to have everything work as it would have factory with a manual GTE motor is that possible to do and not have millions of codesI would like to use the factory twin turbos for nowI have read a few things about the Aristo computer not plugging into the factory harness and having to switch out the block plugs orange and black do you have any suggestions for and is this possible without sticking another $10,000 into the carI have a transmission and everything just need to import a 2JZ from an Aristo also I would like to keep the vvt-i because it was factory

Hit me up I can get you in contact to get the full aristo swap. I just finished mine like two weeks ago. Engine , transmission, factory intercooler, factory down pipe, aristo ecu , fuel lines , fuel pump , and front half of drive shaft. Pretty sure I'm missing something but you get the point. Mine came out a fully running aristo and was stripped down and shipped. Mine was done under 5k and that was with me doing timing belt water pump etc.... Just for peace of mind.

Hey brother, so check it out, its obviously not the vvti cam pulley, that you've figured out. Your cam seals aren't seated properly 100%. Let me ask you this, did you remove the cam seal caps? Assuming you obviously replaced the valve cover gaskets to right? Answer that one question regarding the caps and we'll go from there. How's the crank seal? Did that one seat properly? Guess you won't know until you get the cam seals dry actually huh. Anyhow I have very detailed video's of the entire process and how I actually do the job as I've done it many times with perfect seals everytime so far, (knock on wood) both Is's and our Gs's, same thing obviously but yea... Let us know.

Wow did I really just do that? Responded to a thread in the wrong thread..... LOLOL!!! Disregard!!!!! HAHAHA!!! im sorry, free bump I guess
