Default Very new to this 1jzgtte swap to a sc300 need help plz

Hey guys and gals. Im new here and Im thinking of getting a 1jzgte motor for my sc300. (Can anyone point out a good website). Anyway...Im asking if its direct bolt on or need some custom job. Also when I saw some 1jzgte motor for sale...they say they dont come with ecu, or maf sensor, or ignitor chip..Are these things i need to get by myself? Or is there a good website where they have everything for sale? THANKS GUYS

Well, you need the ECU and the MAF sensor.

i would recommend you get a front clip instead so you wont have to waste your time looking for all the peices you need. Sometimes you'll see some on ebay but i dont know any exact sites that have them. i believe you will have to do some custom wiring.

and why go 1jz? go 2jz. everyone here might say it costs more, but if you shop around, you can build it for the same price or in some cases, cheaper.

my Total 2jzgte conversion wtih 6 speed and single turbo kit=under 6000 (that includes fuel, AEM EMS, etc etc)

xatracing in tampa quoted me $4500 installed for 1jzgette. thats not a bad price IMO, except that FL is far and it takes long to get parts, just cant go to dealer and order stuff. GTE or NA-T are some options.

It pays to get deals

i just went 1jz and it's fine. There are a lot of interchangeable parts between the 2j and the 1j
