What else would you guys suggest I pull just for the swap, I really don't wanna pull parts if they aren't really needed you know. As far as ecu I plan to pull everything associated with it any other items to pull? Thanks in advance
semper fi brother, you should get the rear differential and if your not planning going big turbo right away you should get the fuel pump and fuel pump cradle, the jdm fuel pump cradle or whatever its called will correct the fuel gauge issues people got with the swap. when you leaving japan?

I'm about to do the same swap, but I want to keep the e-shift. How exactly do you get this to work on the 4 speed tranny? Any help would be appreciated.

There's a guide around here that details running wires for a non-e-shift equipped car. I'd hunt that down and see if you already have wires where it tells you to put them. I would wager that you probably do and that it should just plug in and work.

IS THERE ANYWHERE I CAN GET AN ARISTO (OR ANY 2JZ-GTE) ENGINE WITH LITTLE TO NO MILES ON IT? or has it been completely put out of production. If so where do i get it/import it from?

If your talking about a complete motor assembly with harness etc. the answer would be no. JDM is still the least expensive source.
You could get a complete a complete assembly and have it rebuilt...

I know many people who run the JDM gte motors and have no issues, the motors most likely have 100k kms or more which is not too bad.

Besides using the srt fuel jet killer, what is another option for the fuel problem? I found one the other day that looked like it only consisted of a a t fitting and a couple of hoses. Now I can't find it to save my life! Help! Lol

I don't know if anyone is running this setup but I am considering:

- Aristo GTE vvti engine

- GS300 A650E tranny

- GS300 engine harness

- GS300 ECU

- AEM FIC

- 550cc injectors (maybe larger)

Any input?

Would this setup make a OB2 smog check pass, because you have the GS300 ECU? You would need a EGR head installed i understand from what ive been reading.
