Default What kind of motor is this?

I had someone say it is a 1jz, but it don't look like it to me...



couple more pics to determine:



btw, I just got this car..a '98 SC300

I also have a few questions:

1. My driver side front and rear turn signal flashes quicker than my right side...Today, the left front signal went dead. My right headlight assembly has moisture inside, then I fixed the loose harness. My left rear still blinks fast, though my front left doesn't work. Anybody know the problem?

2. I had the hood repaired, when I tried to use washer fluid to get bugs out my windshield..Nothing came squirting out...I checked that the hose wasn't connected. I don't know where to connect it...Does anybody know?

Thanks!

Looks like a IS300 engine to me. Headers and all.

if you look at it closely, there is a 2jzge sticker on the cam cover.

it's the supra non-turbo motor. you could boost it, but by 300 rwhp you need a new headgasket to lower compression. by 450rwhp it is recommended to get your bottom end built, or swap to the gte bottom end. I would just get it built since you need to open up your motor to change the headgasket anyway.

The Supra, the SC, AND the IS all used the 2JZ-GE engine as their base.
