Price and Cost on 2JZ-GTE engine
Hi! I am looking to buy a is300 and was wondering how much a 2jz-gte engine & turbo cost and what is the normal process and time frame to get one installed! Thanks everyone this forum is great!

The engine with ecu will prolly cost 2-4000$ depending on where you get it. The trans (r154) will be another grand prolly, the v160 will cost you a few grand alone. The cheapest I can see this swap done on this car at a shop is 6,000$ but can range up to 10 grand.

With GE-T - reasonable and reliable I'd say you can be around 500hp
600+ is reachable but might be not as reliable.
10-15lbs boost reliably for daily driving, probably 22lbs+ towards the top end not so reliable for every day driving.
With GTE you can reach 1000hp+
And probably 700 reliable
20lbs boost reliably to go to the grocery store to buy a bag of milk
When I say reliable, I'm saying no fear of leaks or blowing gaskets, hoses, tranny, etc..

Yea pretty much except my head already has a fresh build so just a valve adjustment up there and good to go.
I hunt for the crackhead prices, I actually trust the shop/installer doing all my work alot. This is the same guy who installed my new ac condenser, found my ac leak, fixed my engine lean code, and charged my AC for $250. Hybrid Motorsports in largo FL. I would still need to do the tune separate
No more good prices for me anymore, I got as much good used stuff as I could. Now I need to pay top dollar for my gauges, gasket set, and R154 internals cuz the ods of me finding those in good used condition is slim. Turbo on a budget lol
