ok so my car has just been sitting in my drive way staring at me

it broke down 3 months ago on my way to my first day at work....i know what luck right

well i've been wanting to do a 2jz swap but i can't find it anywhere

i've look everywhere for a decent price they don't have one

i live in the houston area so you'd think i'd find anything and everything i want and need
but no i can't

I jumped on here right away because my boyfriend has been having some luck on his car through these forums

anyways help me out
or i'm going to go crazy and just get a honda lol just kidding

 

Whats wrong with your current motor/you have a 300/400?

 

sc400
unfortunately i blew the motor its making a knocking sound whenever it turns over its the rod i'm damn sure of that a lot easy to just do a swap in my opinion

 

Which 2JZ do you want? Everybody wants the 2JZ-GTE VVTi motor from the Supra RS, so I'm assuming that. Those aren't cheap at all though, everybody goes with a 1JZ since its enough and its much cheaper.

 

i have a GE motor in saint louis with a tranny for 700 195k miles on it. no wiring harness tho

 

I'm sure Texas has junkyards. For damn sure you guys have aircraft graveyards, I want to go to one! Just go to a junk yard and pull one, hopefully finding a good one. Tear it down, new seals and crap, probably even upgrade a few parts for an NA-T

 

Haven't you been saving up for those 3 months?

 

looking trough junk yards right now hoping lady luck is on my side

and i found a 2jz gte for 400 but the day i went to go buy it he sold it worst day ever

 

So......... what was the question again?

 

Did not know that...

 

I live in houston as well. If you are looking for a 2jzge motor they are plenty and can make some serious power as well. It all depends on your budget and what you are trying to do. PM me if you have question. I don't mind helping.

 

2jzgte for 400 bucks. I would stay away from that unless its just the block. a 2jzgte head bare goes for like 500 at least. There a guy on craiglist selling at 2jzgte swap for 2200. You can always make a trip to dallas and get a complete swap from them if you really want to go 2jzgte. I say if you are on a budget go 2jzge with a 5 speed if you want stick or a auto and NA-T it later.
