Hey guys, I might be in the wrong section posting about this but maybe someone can help me out.

I recently came across a 2jz-ge(non turbo engine) with 11k miles on it. it was swapped out from a 98 supra for a twin turbo engin. The engine has been sitting in the garage since 98. Pics will come soon. Can this be put into a 2GS?

 

yeah, should bolt straight in, if not with minor fabwork

thing's barely broken in. sounds like a good NA-T monster candidate

 

what year is the gs? is that 2jz vvti? need more info

 

yes, the 98+ 2jz-GE Is vvti.

as long as the GS is vvti as well, it will bolt right in. Uses same ECU and everything.

 

Isn't it the 01+ that are VVTI....

 

EDIT: good catch jason, i got confused.

ALL GS300's are VVTi 98+. In the supra, 98+ are vvti also.

 

My 98 GS300 had VVT-I....

 

From Wiki regarding the application:

VVT-i, introduced in 1996, varies the timing of the intake valves by adjusting the relationship between the camshaft drive (belt, scissor-gear or chain) and intake camshaft. Engine oil pressure is applied to an actuator to adjust the camshaft position. In 1998, "Dual" VVT-i (adjusts both intake and exhaust camshafts) was first introduced in the RS200 Altezza's 3S-GE engine. Dual VVT-i is also found in Toyota's new generation V6 engine, the 3.5L 2GR-FE V6. This engine can be found in the Avalon, RAV4, and Camry in the US, the Aurion in Australia, and various models in Japan, including the Estima. Dual VVT-i is also used in the Toyota Corolla (1.6 dual VVT-i 124bhp). Other Dual VVT-i engines include the 1.8L 2ZR-FE I4, used in Toyota's next generation of compact vehicles such as the Scion XD. It is also used in the 2JZ-GE and 2JZ-GTE engines used in the Lexus IS300 and in the Toyota Supra. By adjusting the valve timing engine start and stop occurs virtually unnoticeably at minimum compression. In addition fast heating of the catalytic converter to its light-off temperature is possible thereby reducing hydrocarbon emissions considerably.

 

2JZ-GE applications:

Toyota Altezza / Lexus IS 300
Toyota Aristo / Lexus GS 300
Toyota Crown
Toyota Mark II
Toyota Chaser
Toyota Cresta
Toyota Progres
Toyota Soarer / Lexus SC 300
Toyota Supra MK IV

 

yes, but 97 and down supra's were NON vvti.

 

This should bolt on with just minor modifications. Congratulations on the great find!!

 

No one is making the suggestion otherwise. The engine he's refering to is the VVT-i, 2JZ-GE.

 

i know, but elitistK had asked if the engine was VVTi or not and I pointed out the fact that 1989lexus had said it was a 98 supra, included that for clarification purposes. Good find on that wiki though, crazy what you can dig up these days

 

Thanx for all the responses... yes it is VVT-I... The engine came from a 98 supra. So if i have a 98+ GS300 it will bolt right in?

 

Oops. I forgot to ask.... Can i use the stock supra tranny? its manual. or can i mate the engine to the automatic gs tranny?
