the GTE comes w/ a 6spd and is alot more than 1k over an auto swap. If you found it for only that much more go with the 6spd. The 6spd is well pretty indestructable for lack of a better word. Even if you want to keep your 5spd, for some reason, you could still sell the 6spd for over 3k easily. Auto's will only get you 2-400 depending on the condition.

Of course you can use your existing manual trans/clutch/bellhousing... the engine really won't know what kind of trans is on the other end, and the fitment is the same. Just be aware, that to really make this work effortlessly, you will really need to get the Supra ECU along with the deal... I assume that and the harness will come with the engine? Otherwise, plan on another $1500 or so for those 2 new items. Lots of other accessories you'll need from the GTE, so make sure you get all you need... intercooler, power steering pump, fan, etc., etc.

The 2JZ-GTE only went into the MKIV Supra and the Aristo (the JDM GS). The Supra came with the famous Getrag 6 speed and the Aristo came with either a 4 speed or 5 speed automatic.

If a site is advertising a 5 speed with a 2JZ-GTE, I would be very hesitant and ask a LOT of questions. Also, keep in mind that the 2JZ-GTE with an automatic may be from an Aristo. The JDM 2JZ-GTE had ceramic turbos instead of steel, 440cc injectors instead of 550cc, and weaker camshafts. The output is a good 30hp less and it takes a few more bucks to really let it loose.

Your SC300 already has a W58 with a bell housing that is plug and play with the JZ series of engines. The limitation is the durability of the W series tranny. Expect reliability to start getting shaky at 400+hp with the stock tranny.

I would investigate NA-T set-ups. Guys are putting 2JZ-GTE 320+hp numbers down with relative ease. It sounds like you just want a turbo for some boost, and the 2JZ-GE that is in your car might be more capable than you are giving it credit for.

thats the best answer and reply post to any of my questions ive got since i started this site...im on here like 5 hours of the day i get so bored i just wanna learn more and more...damn man thanks...except i think i had a type.....the site is offering a 2jz-gte from a supra with ecu wireing harness etc etc etc..and a 5spd manual tranny for 3999$

its 2299$ for the auto tranny hopefully that cleared things up PM me if u wanna see the site and yes they are both JDM engines will that cause me problems in the swap? another quick question...my current sc300 is 135k miles =[ im very sketchy on putting a turbo idk how long it will last...i know someone with it that did his for al thogether 5k for boostlogic 5k done thats installation by himself including exhaust fmic intake etc.... thanks bud

I can't comment totally on this specific question, but i don't think so.

A compression test would give you all the information you need about the health of your engine and the boost it could handle.

Or you could get lucky and someone doesn't know what they have, my friend has found several nice deals because they didn't have a clue. For a jdm motor w/ an auto that's about right, but for the other one if that's a 6spd that's dirt cheap. The tranny its self goes for 3k and up.

The main problems w/ the JDM swap is cutting and extending the harness, other than that it's the turbos, cams, and injectors.

Why does America always have to do this differently? Why couldn't we all just pick either LHD or RHD from the moment cars were mass produced. Then, this kind of b/s wouldn't have to be an issue.

I suppose if you are good at engine wiring or know someone who is, this is not an issue...but, still.
