im going nuts trying to figure out the parts for the timing belt change. the belt i can use of a Isuzu, the tensioner of a 2jz and the idler pulley is driving me nuts. Does any one know what idler can be used

on my 1jz vvti i ordered a timing belt kit for a 2JZ-GE off Amazon (Aisin TKT-029) and used all the bits except for the timing belt. the water pump back housing was slightly different too but i swapped it over, aluminum casutings generally dont wear out

Driftmotion has pretty much everything you need. Even if it may not be the cheapest place id like to support a business providing parts for the 1jz/2jz and supports drifting so I bought a lot of stuff from them for my 1jz swap im doing now. You may want to consider having them redo the capacitors in your ecu they tend to leak over time. Check my thread out im about to post some updated pics.

i got it from JDM Alliance. On ebay. I check the motor, its in awesome condition. No play in the turbos, intake manifold has no oil, the ac works! lol i didnt have ac in my car so im excited for that lol

so how about this for a FMIC http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lexus-SC300-...-/170835211414 or does any one have any suggestions to use. Also what did you guys use for down pipe? since mine didnt come with my motor i need to either make one or go to an exhaust shop

Thanks! im pretty excited about it and the engine has like no miles on it it seems. because the turbos have no play. when i was changing the the timing belt and accessories they looked like new, but still better peace of mind if all of it is changed. Good luck with your swap to! =D
