Default Vvti 2jz into 92 sc300??
I'm thinking to drop the Vvti 2jz out of my 99 sc3 into my 92 sc3.. what do you guy think? Worth the time to do the swap or no? my 92 runs fine had no problems at all i'm still thinking if i should do it.. comments are welcome

hmmm ic...in that case, run the 92 into the ground, then swap it out later when the engine's busted. Let's see...how long do people live anyways?

it might be difficult when you get to the wiring portion of things, but seeing that you have a car to go with your '99 2JZ you could just swap over all the electronics. IMO i wouldn't do it though.

I think that's what I'm going to do got most of the interior out of the 99 this morning gonna take the motor out tomorrow and drop into my 92 5 speed.. i don't have a shop manual or wiring diagram for either car.. anyone here nice enough to donate me a copy





after i'm done with the swap i'm gonna repaint the whole car.. i'm thinking to paint it either toyota white like my 08 xb or paint it the lexus white they use on the 08 is350(forgot the name of the color).. not sure which one would look better on the sc...

my car is diamond white pearl now



for some reason I didn't really like DWP all that much that's why I decide to give it a new paint job... I'm also thinking painted the same color as my LS which i like a lot..

ok sorry but those wheels don't belong on an LS. You either go stock or sit low vip style.
