ScNoobie

Hello let me introduce myself,
I brought a SC400 two years ago and total love it. Havn't broke down on me once. Been driving the SC4 until my SC3 is done. I hopped on a SC3 couple months ago and I totally got bended over....
-engine burn & leak oil
-broke down on my twice on the road within 2 weeks
-barely drop down gear and the bottom of the car started smoking
-the honk doesn't work...scary
-already changed battery, alternator, and now the starter failed... sigh...

ok first question: do I need to swap a new engine?





everything is ready except it's not working... projector headlights & hids, dropped, intake, rims and exhausted, and my bodykits have shipped here.

Enough with the whining, I need to know what kind of solutions do I have. If I do need a swap, what are all kind of swaps and how much?

-stock 2jz N/A + single turbo
-2jzgte swap
-2jzgte swap + change to a big single turbo

what else are there? and how much?

Thanks in advance

2JZ-GE with NA-T is probably the "easiest".

1JZ-GTE is going to be the cheapest probably

2JZ-GTE is more difficult and more expensive, but more powerful.

Hard to understand what you are trying to say on somethings. If I understand correctly the motor in it is burning and leaking oil. that could be one of two things or both, rings or valve seals. So the cost of fixing either of those things added to the cost of doing NA-T will become expensive. A engine swap would be a better route imo. 2jzgte is more expensive but not anymore difficult than doing a 1jzgte. Parts are easier to get here in the US for the 2jzgte and more powerful from the start. That would be the route I would take.
