99 SC300 Engine Harness. Ready for Hybrid Harness Conversion.
Specal Thanks to David at Snap Performance for the 2jzgte vvti motor set and Ron from R & J Distributing for the 99 SC300 Engine Harness and oil pan
Why not use the parts from your motor????? I don't want to take apart my motorset. Just in case things don't go according to plan. We all know how things go.

Default Why

I think that 2jzgte is one of the best production engine. So if Toyota decided to improve on it with the vvti system which emphasis is on economy, emissions and, most importantly, driveability - giving maximum throttle response and a linear spread of torque from idle to the 6800 rpm redline. The VVT-i system infinitely adjusts inlet cam timing over a full 60-degree range. And that why I went with the 2jzgte vvti.
