motor sites for 2JZ, good/bad?

[supraman502]

Not really sure where to post this, so if this is the wrong area I apologize

I plan on doing a 2j swap within the next few weeks and have been trying to find a good place to purchase a motor/transmission/harness/ecu combo from.

Some sites want 2k others want 5k

Can anybody recommend a good place or give me warning of places to avoid?

there have been several threads dedicated to the reputability of used motor dealers. Search a little.

As much as I hate saying this....seriously. If you don't even want to take the time to search...since this topic has now been chewed over like old gum...don't attempt a 2jz swap. It takes a lot more than this, and if your not even willing to do the slightest bit of research, then this swap is definitely not for you.

the searches I was using was getting no results, thats why I made a thread or I wouldnt have made it. I wasnt searching specifically where to buy a 2j since EVERY used motor importer sells them. I just put 2j in the title so people werent trying to sell me their 7ms, but thanks for the link.

Sometimes, just going to search doesn't work, search is your friend but not the give all answer book.
Sorry to sound harsh, but lots of post like this have been popping up recently.

search is the reason I've been a member so long and have such a small post count. I post in the for sale section and the midwest section, other than that I just search and find what I'm looking for, I couldnt believe I couldnt find anything in my searches, but I was trying to be vague to get more hits. If I would have just searched exactly what I was looking for that thread would have showed up lol

My friend just did a 2j swap (lilredsupra) but i've actually done some of my own research :biglaugh:

I'm going to wait until jarco has one in stock, their close enough I can go pick it up and hopefully they'd let me do a compression test before I took it home.

You might want to call them, I was going to do the same thing. I have heard they won't be importing engines anymore because of some EPA rule or something.

Yea, you may want to call them I got my 1j clip from them Good motor good transaction, but my engine got double shipped meaning it made it to the US and was shipped back to japan because of customs BS the clip dismantled and engine set + associated parts sent back to the US!
