2jzgte engine, difference between JDM & US???

[R & J Dist]

what's the difference...i mean the price is hugh difference....and by the way, how much is fair price for a complete US spec 2jzgte/auto package???

[jtamulis]

Aside from EMISSIONS, the differences are some in the ecu (map based aristo) AFM based US (I think)
the cams are slightly different aristo/US. The turbos are different (ceramic (jap) vs steel).

tranny is the same. Oh, and the Aristo is front sump, not rear sump like the MKIII.


Jeff

Cliffs: no emissions, change the cams to US cams, or upgrade them, switch out the twins to a single, and then it's just tuning difference.

[BorHor]

If I am correct the turbo's are different too.

arnt the Jap 6 speeds V-161's?? (vs. US V-160)I read that somewhere recently, but dont know the differance between the 2

[SC300fivespd]

well aristo gte and us gte.. if that is what you are asking about,d the aristo doesnt have the dampener on the serpentine belt tensioner, and the aristo gte has a hydro fan. also the us supra cams are for power the aristo is for economy, and the turbos are ceramic. i dont have my aristo gte in front of me but what are you trying to cheack?

USA had V160
Japan had V160 and V161, depending on year/options

since im a god i know this, a JDM Getrag (V161) has a 6th gear ratio of (0.818:1). the US (V160) 6th gear is a taller ratio of (0.790:1) :naughty:

[jtamulis]

Yes, but he was asking about the automatic transmissions, which is the same.

JDM:
V160 = 1993-1997 2JZ-GTE models
V161 = 1997 2JZ-GE models, 1998-2002 2JZ-GE and 2JZ-GTE models

USDM:
V160 = 1993-1998 2JZ-GTE models

yeah, i've got the 160 in my jdm 93. Fing RHD keep shifting to 4th instead of 2nd when I drove it for all of 3 minutes ;)

[Jeff Lange]

You'll get used to it pretty quick. When I drove my brother's JZA80 it didn't take long.

[NewGen]

I have an aristo motor. Would the horsepower gains be worth the money to switch to USDM cams?

[jtamulis]

On a side note, I'm planning on getting a Stock Aristo motor and going very small turbo and keep it to maybe 400-500rwhp and fast Spoolup. I want good gas mileage for my GS300/Aristo.

Yes.
