Default searched.. need a few swap q's answered

Ok so I have searched and read a whole bunch of 2jzgte swap threads and have a few questions. I am going to start ordering stuff for the swap today or tomorrow so I would just like to make sure that I have my ducks in order. This is my daily so down time is a factor. My car is a 96 auto sc300 and I'm swapping in an auto 2jzgte from an aristo. This is my list as of right now.. if you kind folks don't mind to see if I am missing anything.

Non vvt-i Aristo 2jzgte motor, harness, ecu, and ignitor
Sc400 drive shaft
Tweak performance harness
swap oil pans from GE and GTE
TT water pump (are the TT and GE water pumps the same? I have a brand new one for my GE)
New front/rear main seals
new timing belt
New plugs
TT radiator hoses
FMIC setup or my existing SMIC with new piping (probably just go front mount for cleaner setup

Is there anything I am missing here to get this thing up and driving? As stated its my daily so want to have everything I need.

Also.. is there any other trusted people or businesses to get the wiring done through. Tweak is the only one I have personally ever heard of. I don't have anything against him at all. Just want to be able to compare or even save a few bucks if possible.

I know with the 1jzgte swap you need to run a tach adapter and resistor in order for the tach and temp to work.. does this apply to the auto Aristo swap as well??

Thank you in advance for any help provided.

I would recommend you also get Valve cover gaskets, cam seals, Toyoda FIPG sealant.

Swapping the pan is fine but remember your going to need to tap your existing pan for the return line.

You can contact account2x on here. He has done some wiring, I dont know his turn around time compared to Tweak. I do know he is a lot cheaper. GL.

TT Power steering resevoir and lines
TT fan blade
TT heater core lines
ge and TT waterpumps are different, you will need the TT housing also. Your swap will probably come with a hydro fan setup which you will have to remove.

Ahh yes valve cover gaskets and what not will be done while motor is out. My GE pan is already tapped. Thanks for looking out.

Thanks for the wiring contact info!! Ill hit em up and see what they say.

PS resevoir is definitely on the list just forgot to put it up there lol. Will the TT heater hoses work since the SC has the heater valve? Damn I thought the hydro fan was a 1j thing lol so the water pump and fan assembly needs to be changed out to TT also?

Thank you guys.

Yes the TT hoses will work. You only need one of them. You can use the ge fan clutch, you just need the TT fan blade and waterpump with housing. It will all fit nicely with the factory sc shroud.

Don't forget that you will need USDM or JDM Supra oil drain/feed and flange for the front turbo to work with the rear sump pan. I would buy the rubber drain lines new. I bought mine used and the front drain cracked after about 5 minutes of run time. The new hose was soft and pliable and much easier to install than the old hard brittle hose as well.

lol

Thanks for the help and input guys!! very big help.

Quick questions ... my car is an NA-T so my pan is already tapped for a return. so isnt the plumbing (connection from drain flange to turbos) the only thing i would have to modify?

I have also heard the sc fan blade will work with a little trimming... any truth to this?

I think the SC fan will work if you make spacers for it. QuickSC4 has done this IIRC. Also, you will need the supra drain flange that bolts to the upper pan, the supra steel drain/feed assembly for the front turbo, the rubber drain line for the front turbo, and possibly the rubber drain line from the rear turbo, though I think I reused the Aristo line for that...
