Kit for an IS300 if you are using the crossover intake. Besides, You will need a lot more than a basic kit. I would do a ton of reading.

You can use any kit meant for the IS300. That's important because a lot of kits for Supras and SCs won't fit in IS300 due to the placement of the shock tower.

The non VVTI are the same as VVTI motors as far as fit. The kit will need to be fitted and you will need a lot more stuff. Like controler for the ECU ( piggyback or stand alone ) New fuel system. Exhaust changes and more. Do a lot of reading first on the forums. Before you ask more about it.

Main thing you will need to contend with the distributor being in the way. Or just go to distributerless.

Have read about it in a few forums. Too much to go into hear. Just do some google searches and you will find it.
