Costs of a swap?
 

So I found a great condition'd SC300 with a bad motor. I want to go with a 2JZGTE swap in it. The owner is selling the SC for $ 2000.00 plus a newer motor so I can sell 1-motor, 2 transmissions, drive-shaft and differential.

I have a friend with a 2JZGTE for $ 1,800. No leaks. Good condition motor. Looking for a R154 transmission, clutch, flywheel and so on.. but mean while it'll be an AT swap.

wow thats a hell of a deal

Yeah.. I know that the 2JZGTE is a direct swap. Im planning on putting a GTE from a 94 into a 94 SC300. Just wondering what parts I'll need. What driveshaft will I need to make the 2JZGTE work in the 93' SC300, unless its a direct bolt up

My list of costs so far:

2JZGTE Complete - $ 2200.00
225lph Fuel Pump - $ 120.00
Waterpump - $ 135.00
AEM FI/C - $ 560.00
Intercooler + T-Belt -$ 300.00
Radiator Alum $ 250.00

So I'll have powertrain, drivetrain (idk if driveshaft is different), intercooler, going new timing belt, waterpump, radiator, hoses.. I have someone who will tune it free. Am I missing anything?

Step 1. Take 2jzge out of car.

Step 2. Prepare 2jzgte for installation. (Water pump, seals, etc)

Step 3. Remove 2jzge Wiring harness/ECU. Pay to have harness made ($500 average cost), or research and make one yourself.

Step 4. Install 2jzgte on stock a430 transmission. (This means driveshaft, etc are not changed.)

Step 5. Install Wiring harness/GTE ECU and enjoy!

Just swap the engines, everything is the same.

THEN go price up a R154 swap and prepare for that separately later on.

You will have a blast with even the Auto.

^^^ pretty basic list but on the money

I can buy a SC400 with a bad motor for 2K but interior is very clean. The owner is selling it with a bad motor plus another motor. Im wondering if its the same difficulty to swap in a 2JZGTE in a SC400. Im just worried about the harness.

Oh I get it, it's a 400.

Either way the Auto sc300 Drive shaft will fit the R154 as well.

Other then that it's the same difficulty. Do it!

well the original post says sc300, with an sc400 just swap the whole engine........ or you could always turbo the 1uz.... that would be bad ass!

Whats the best to look for an 2jzgte? I've been looking on eBay but I'm not sure. And on Craigslist I've just seen ge's

Im worried about the oil sump and having to relocate it using SupraStores $ 500.00 kit, but supposedly the SC400 doesn't have to do that only SC300 cars. True?

just get an engine fromt a supra and it will be rear sump already.

I found someone locally thats selling the rear sump for $ 100.00 off his car.

dont forget getting the harness converted. I spent about 5k for my swap with me doing the labor by myself.

you better buy that!
that seems way good to be true....... i call rear sump pans jew gold :)
