I'm swapping the 2JZGTE into a 1992 SC300 auto(diamond pearl). I know it's been done before but I feel I owe it to this forum to illustrate everything I'm doing as it goes along. Already a year in progress, but moving and taking time out for my wonderful family has to be done. I've had my SC300 for 14 years and still stare at the damn thing. It's my daily driver so all of the engine build-up will be planned out to do the final swap with minimal delay.
The swap engine was a JDM Aristo auto. Came in ok condition. At this point I've taken it down to the bare block and just got it back from the machine shop. Needless to say I am pleased with the way it turned out. Pics to follow.
This is not going to be a "how I got 850hp thread". LexusFTW has the patent on how to do it right, but I don't have the money right now to do what he's done. Awesome, but not possible for me right now.
Any questions or comments welcome as this moves along. There is no freaking way I could have ever done this without CL.
The buildup begins.
