Excellent job!

What year is your car and which year GTE VVTI swap did you use? The 2nd Gen GS's have a similar harness setup as the IS's, right? Did you have any wiring issues? Or was it as simple as the 1st Gen GS GTE swap (Have done 4 of those, now... plug-n-play except for the TACH signal). Did you simply by a GTE VVTI swap for the right year-range of your car and just plug it in (as far as wiring is concerned)??

I've swapped a 2jzgte into my SC300 which required some extensive wiring. I've even swapped my 94 Supra T88 from and auto to a 6speed. I can handle the task, but if I don't have to do too much.... all the better

Thanks,

--Nick

Roll the fenders so these wheels looks kinda werid and tucked in. My 20s should be ready soon just gotta find time to get the tires mounted. F20x8.5 R20x10
