I just wanted to thank everyone on this board for all the information provided. Yes, the search button works wonders…

Special thanks to:

R1 Motor for helping me with every facet of the install. They have an unbelievable knowledge of various motor swaps (1JZ-GTE, 2JZ-GTE, and VVT-I 2JZ-GTE) and maintenance. They also sourced my GTE and built this from the ground up.

Looks very nice but we want more pics and dyno sheet.

 

looks nice and clean bro congrats. more pics and specs please

 

Thanks, I'm just really happy with the results. Well, the dyno is going to have to wait awhile. It's not going to see any hard pulls until it's fully broken in... I'll get more pics up later. As for specs, it's just a pretty stock TT.

 

I cant tell from pics, is it u.s spec or japanese spec? Auto or 5 speed? How long did the whole process take? Are we alone in the universe?
Sorry about bunch of questions.

 

Definitly 5-speed (if not 6?) by lookin at the clutch fluid resovior

 

So you're the other black SC at R1. I know Raymond through Gary, and he did a majority of the work on my car (basic stuff so far). I'll definitely be going to R1 when I do my 1jz.

And yes, I believe it's a six-speed.

 

looks like the car came with it stock!! Gorgeous!

 

Yup I have to agree, that does look OEM.
good job.

also, do I spy the Tein CS coilovers?

 

very clean swap!

 

I was meaning to contact R1 about a swap, I saw their ad in LA Auto Guide or something. I completely forgot about it, I need to give them a call!

 

wow... right down the airbox -- it looks great.

 

how much was the swap and downtime? How much was the engine?

 

wow. very clean. i like it!

 

very nice work.....i just spoke to raymond and will schedule an appt for swap!!!
