i am wanting to do to do a 2jzgte swap into my lexus and i want any advice on what to do or what is needed i am not sure to go with vvt-i or non vvt-i or what company carries the best or cheapest harness or what ecu to use im new to the swap and i just want some pointers of any kind please any help would be appreciated once i have found out what all is required i will do a full swap forum including all pics of process and very detailed information please help thank you

 

I will personally go with non vvti due to more support and aftermarket parts I believe. If funds permit v160 6 speed tranny. But what tranny do you want to use ? I guess more important is what are your power goals? How will the car be used...daily driver , track only car? That in a way will dictate the parts u will need to collect. And if you think you can do a lot of the work involved , then you will save tons of money.

 

i will be doing the entire swap myself and i want to make 600 to the ground i plan to go with a big single after ive saved up and bought every thing tha is needed and it will be a daily driver also and i an unsure how the auto tranny shifts on a aristo tranny i whant a good hard shift but idk if they make a shift kit for them and what they can handle i foud a setup where i can put a turbo 400 behind it and i have a built turbo400 setting in the floor i built in my dads machine shop my past is all old hotrods and dragracing and im set out to out do my father with a import hes said i cant achieve it and now i must do it i was wanting a auto tranny because my car is already auto and it would make things alot more easy then going to the 5 or 6 speed and having to find clutch lines slave cylinder excetra that is what i believe any ways the only part i know about the sc is what i have read online

 

u can get a vvti motor and use your stock harness with an aem fic to tune. i read about doing this i think on my.is youll find better information there about the best way to do this as 2001 is cars have basically same ecu
