Now if the clip is from an ARISTO V300, going into a GS300, then that would be alot easier than trying to cram the stuff into an IS300. The V300 clip with engine/ECU/tranny and stuff are designed for the JZS chassis in the first place. SXE IS300 chassis would be less matching.

USDM 2JZ-GTE ends in 1998, and none has VVTi. JDM GTEs have VVT-i from 97+, if it's a clip from 93~96 Aristos or Supras then there's no VVT-i either.
If you swap in a JDM engine, I think if you have broken internal parts, just replace with JDM internal parts from tuners. That's what RB26 skyline people do. When something breaks, they don't worry about replacing with stock parts, you beef it up with JUN or other parts

Ok, I understand the whole VVT-i thing, but what about the internals of the actual engine. I've heard from some, the JDM has smaller cams, turbos.... Is any of this true?

JDM gets 440cc injectors, you get 540cc injectors. We get ceramic turbos (prone to self-destruct with bad fuel), you get steel turbos (much stronger), we get 280hp, you get 320hp.

Ah, so all thats different is the injectors, which can be swapped easy, and the turbo's, which can also be swapped easy with a set of hks twin turbo's....

I personally would look for the V300 from 2000+. Other than being legal (aftermarket bolt-ons are easy to take care of. But being legal when registering the new engine is more important), I think an Aristo is better with Aristo parts.

Well, I'd actually like to be legal. Where can you find the engine? All I find is Jspec 2jz's

Going turbo is not legal anyway. But if someting happen and they check your engine, you will be in big big trouble.

Huh? I know an aftermarket turbo isnt legal, but if you swapped in a supra engine that already had twin turbos, wouldnt it be legal?

But hey most Supras with BPUs are not street legal anyways. Just know a few people in the smog business and your smogtest is taken care of. My main concern is getting the actual swap to be legal, which can be done with a 2JZ-GTE.
