Exclamation Help finding Soarer 1JZ!?

Hey everyone so its been a while since ive been on and its because I think I blew either my headgasket, rings, or maybe even the valves on my GE NA-T. Rather than rebuilding it I decided I'd part my turbo kit in favor of a 1jz swap. For the amount of money and effort to fix the GE, convert to TT ecu, Coil on plug conversion, FFIM, new wastegate and bov on the NA-T setup I could get a whole 1JZ with auto tranny, install it, and still have money left.

SO, ive got someone whose buying the Turbo Kit but im having trouble finding a Soarer 1jz with the correct harness/ecu. Ive only seen a few questionable ones on eBay come up. Anyone know a place I can get a 1jzgte non-vvti out of a Soarer? Any place that I could call to see if they can find me one? I would like to get this thing soon so I can work on doing the T-belt and all the maintenance before I swap it. Thanks for any help guys!

I just bought a soarer 1jz eng,trans,ecu etc for around 1300 from a place here in houston called JDM States. I can get you their contact info if you like. They also are on ebay. The motor and everything is really clean, and the seller documented everything really good. I have pics and stuff if you wanna see, I just don't wanna cloud up your thread.

Why not just find a new block from a junk yard?

Like I said my car needs an TT ECU or standalone, as you may or may not know is expensive and time consuming. In addition i would like to convert it to coil on plug and a FFIM the car also needs a new wastegate and bov. Not worth it to get a new block or rebuild.

Thanks man! Ive been to that site before but didnt see any 1jz's on there. You actually saw this engine recently? I guess I could call them and talk to someone.


***EDIT Talked to a guy at Venus-auto.com he said he could ship the motor from Cali to Massachusetts but it would be $780!!!! That means with shipping it would be $1980!!!!!!!!! WOW.

So i kept looking and ive been watching this one on eBay...how does it look? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=161132586000 Looks to be a correct Soarer 1jz can anyone confirm? I see it has the 4 ecu plugs right? How can you tell if its the right harness for a soarer?
