Hmm I guess I'll just go with this place. I was planning on going single turbo before I put the engine in. But I'll look into doing a 2jz instead

Wait, which one is a crap shoot? Should I just go with the jdm engine depot?

I found someone with 3-4 1jz engines and he said 1350 for an engine ecu, and wiring harness. And another 180 for shipping. I found it on eBay and called the company, "jdm engine depot" located in nj. Can anyone please let me know if they've dealt with this company and their experience with them...

I'm just gonna keep my eye out for one, I guess DM has some but they are held up in shipment.

When was this? I just called and they don't have any now. :-\

Saving up still but just trying to see where you 1jz swap guys got your engines. I mean, I've got close to 3k...

Oh and another question, would it be worth it to use my NA head on the turbod engine? I heard the intake cam is more aggressive. Thanks, I'm just going to drop the 7mgte in, so a build thread shall be coming soon! And I do not know if it was rear ended by a drunk driver, but I know the engine...

I got a call from a guy I know that collects mk3s to part out, he just got one that was rear ended and called me up and told me he'd sell me the (87)engine, harness and ecu. I have a very strong (87)NA motor. And I don't know the condition of the turbod engine. (He said it had 108k on it and he...
