IS 300 engine question?
Hello everyone. I recently purchased a 2001 IS 300 for my son. And I was wondering if the engine in the car is the same as the engine that was supplied in the Toyota Supra except perhaps for the updated valve timing and fuel injection system? Thanks...

not true...the IS300's motor is signifigantly different
the Sc300's 2JZ-GE is also the same as the Supra 93-97 N./A
*distributor
* non drive by wire
* non vvti-i
* rods/pistons slightly bigger/stronger then IS300 counterpart
