If you buy a newer version of 2JZ [the VVTi model, should be 1999 and newer models] then the ECU will be different. Most of the 1998 and prior ECUs should be the same between Aristo and Supra, but take note that I believe all Aristos were automatic transmission. As for Mines, they are a very...

I think the seats are LiteGlow. Synthetic black leather. They only cost about $350 shipped for both. Not bad for Sparco Torino knock-offs? They are wider than the stock seats though, and I am going to have to make custom brackets to mount them. Unfortunate; I had hoped they would just need a...

There are some differences. That is why I am just converting it to US spec. US harness has provisions for the MAF instead of MAP, and resistor pack for the injectors.

The 1JZ bellhousing is reported to be a little bit shorter than the 7M..

I would be more than happy to help anyone trying to do this swap. Please remember that I am going off guidance from others, and when my swap is complete, I can only comment on my experiences, pitfalls, expenses and problems. I WILL be doing a part cost tally when I am done, and I will document...

Here are a few more pictures. Here is the car that will undergo the engine swap: Low shot: Out with the old: Crooked intercooler - needs straightened: Sun shining to show off the pearl: Hood popped, not raised: Inside, needs a little work: Full loom: US...

Just because you lack the resources and patience doesn't mean I am going to quit this swap. I love the 2JZ engine, and I love the A70 body. I also want something unique, but do-able. I am not a great fan of the Mk4 body style. Even if I was, I have enough money, time and research into this and...

This is very similar to my plan. I will be buying an Aristo front clip. I have a UK [same as US spec, but shorter - I will extend it] TT auto wiring harness. I have removed all wires that are only for use with an auto tranny Supra. I am buying a solenoid resistor, as I will be using some US...

Not as much as the rest of the swap is going to cost. Then again, shouldn't be too bad after I get out of debt. There are MANY more parts that I am going to need, and this doesn't even count the upgrades that I want down the road - namely, an AEM EMS, wideband o2, and 720cc squirters with a...

I think this setup is very nice. It seems cleaner, and if it's more secure than the old board, I'd say that keeping this layout would be in the best interest of the MkIII Community. :D

Bottom view of the oil pickup. This extends down to the oil pan for lubrication of the engine. VERY important part for how cheap it is! Another view of the pickup tube/strainer. This is the oil pan baffle. I don't know the EXACT purpose of this, but my best guess is to help guide the...

Just thought I would put a little show-off/update on my so-called "progress" with the 2JZ swap. It's not real progress, since all I am doing right now is thinking about what I want and gathering the parts that I need for the swap, and parts for the car in general [which is semi-thrashed]. This...
