Found the old instruction manual from Phil Auldridge, worth anything? looks like new

 

Wow! I’m not sure if it’s worth anything but don’t throw it out!

I actually worked from that very guide to do my 2JZ-GTE USDM swap.

His guide was written quite a number of years ago and was based on converting the wiring of a Supra MKIV USDM 2JZ-GTE specifically, though he does also cover a little about the JDM MKIV version of the engine.

His wiring pinout guide does not cover the Aristo 2JZ-GTE harnesses.

Overall I found it to be a great basis from which to do a very specific swap. A lot of his help is in the USDM 2JZ-GTE wiring to SC300 OBD1 pinout guide.

These days you have to build the specific donor engine Phil Auldridge specified yourself by collecting all the parts. This is what I did and I was into that process from 2013-2018.

I combined it with all the helpful resources we have here regarding GTE swaps.

Everything he goes over can be combined with other 2JZ-GTE and 1JZ-GTE to SC300/400 pinout guides such as those available on the Wilbo666 website.

It’s a piece of SC community history for sure!

 

This is really cool. Is it a hard to find book? I want a copy.

 

A bit of a sore subject for me, found out about this a year or so AFTER I did my car (2001/ 02). Would have saved me at least 6 months of my life pouring over schematics. Bought one just for a reference manual in case. Different times, the internet was on dial up. LOL I think Clint Pouhr (sp) Turbo Imports was one of the first to pull this off & was my inspiration for doing this insanity.
Gerrb's way of melding the 2 harness's together is much simpler & fool proof. But hey who knew.
