Not the thread jack or anything, But im just days away from buying a 2002 is300 5 sp MT, and I have a true jsz147 rhd aristo with a non vvti 2jzgte in it. Im planning on pulling the GTE and swapping the motors around. So from what im reading, the IS has a body ECU and a engine ECU? I will not be able to just drop in the GTE with the wireharness and use the GTE ecu in the is300?
You will be in for a lot of custom wiring either way, some good searching on my.is and here will give you almost everything you need, but be prepared for a lot of custom wiring, even with your full swap...

The whole reason I want this is300 is because I already have the GTE non vvti motor . I was hoping it would be a drop in swap just like it is in the 2nd gen gs300's. Im trying to factor in the cost of the car and how much to do the swap. I can pick up this 2002 IS300 5sp MT with 103k miles for 4300, But it has a salvage flood title from NJ due to Super-storm Sandy. I just planned on using everything from my aristo to do the swap.
So couldn't I just run the Aristo GTE ECU, and wire in all the dash gauges like we have to do when we do a swap in a 240sx? My RHD 89 240sx coupe has an rb20 and i have to splice in the dash harness into the engine harness to get the gauges to work. Same concept?

It is possible to get some of the gauges to work, I don't remember which, but others will never work without the factory ECU in place... (and controlling them)
