....the 1JZ blew on me, lack of maintence from the previous owner making like a pain in the *** for me.

I figured I'd upgrade.

From a 1JZ-GTE to a 2JZ-GTE Powerhouse.

Damn do you know exactly what happened to it? How did it die. Sorry to hear about that but 2J's always nice too.

I was just about to say that. $6,300 and the engine only lasted a few months! Man, well looks like you'll have some install fun. Good luck with everything.

Why a 1.5 when I know I can afford a whole 2?
