Default Yet another transplanted 2JZ-GTE (so stock)
I just wanted to thank everyone on this board for all the information provided. Yes, the search button works wonders…

Special thanks to:

R1 Motor for helping me with every facet of the install. They have an unbelievable knowledge of various motor swaps (1JZ-GTE, 2JZ-GTE, and VVT-I 2JZ-GTE) and maintenance. They also sourced my GTE and built this from the ground up.

R1 Motor
1734 New Avenue
San Gabriel, CA 91776
626.282.7226 (ask for Raymond and mention ClubLexus)

Phil Auldridge for the Ultimate Lexus Manual, which made the wiring cake.

Thanks, I'm just really happy with the results. Well, the dyno is going to have to wait awhile. It's not going to see any hard pulls until it's fully broken in... I'll get more pics up later. As for specs, it's just a pretty stock TT.

So you're the other black SC at R1. I know Raymond through Gary, and he did a majority of the work on my car (basic stuff so far). I'll definitely be going to R1 when I do my 1jz.

And yes, I believe it's a six-speed.

I was meaning to contact R1 about a swap, I saw their ad in LA Auto Guide or something. I completely forgot about it, I need to give them a call!
