1jz-gte swap completed *pictures!!!*
Alright guys, sorry for the delay on pictures. Anyways, I finished this swap about 2 weeks ago and the car drives amazing! The motor is bone stock, I am even running the stock sidemount intercooler setup. I love the motor, it was indeed a great swap. Big ups to Danny from Phantasm Motorsports for helping me make this swap a success. It took me about 6 hours of work on extending the wiring harness, and it took about 8 hours to finish up the swap. Here are some pictures for you guys to enjoy:

Hey guys, I kept the swap automatic because I wanted to have the gated shifter and I already have a 5spd car. The coilovers are Tein CST. They ride extremely nice. It is not Stance, I see how it could be mistaken though. The gas mileage is great, I put over 300 miles on a full tank, I haven't calculated exact mpg yet though, but it looks to be about the same as the stock motor.......I just drive it as a daily driver and I haven't gotten on it any. Overall, I love the motor, it's a huge improvement over the stock 2jz, plus it's hauls.

*Labor cost me $450 (my friend helped me put the motor in, it tooks us 8 hours)
*Parts cost me around $300 (motor mounts, throttle cable, ect.)
*Fluids and miscellaneous parts cost about $200
Total: $2240 (not bad for a clean *** swap imo)
