Yep, putting it all up for sale.
Selling my 2JZ-GTE VVTi motor and built auto tranny. Thinking of moving onto bigger and better things. Engine/trans have less than 10k miles on it. When I did my build 2 years ago, everything was freshly rebuilt with new parts. This isn't my daily and I don't drive it around very often. Usually only 1-2 days a week.
Details:
- 2JZ-GTE VVTi Head. Port and polished, 5 angle valve job, gasket matched + enlarged ports, valve stem seals replaced with viton seals less than 10k miles ago.
- Cometic multi layer steel head gasket
- AEM EMS modifed to work with the GS properly tuned for this setup!
- Brian Crower titanium retainers and valve springs installed.
- Brian Crower 272 duration 2JZ-GTE VVTi camshafts
- Billet aluminum adjustable timing gear on exhaust side.
- Gates timing belt, all engine seals(valve cover gaskets, cam seals, rear main seal, etc) replaced less than 10k ago.
- TRD low temp racing thermostat
- ATI Super Damper SFI certified lightweight crank pulley
- 3 row aluminum radiator custom modified to fit in GS.
- Reinforced silicone radiator hose.
- Weapon R aluminum coolant overflow tank.
- Weapon R aluminum power steering fluid tank.
- Valve covers are ceramic chrome coated, as well as the intake manifold, intake manifold runners, water pump housing, upper water neck.
- 2JZ-GE block with 2JZ-GTE pistons and rods. All internals balanced and blueprinted.
- Custom machined fuel rail.
- Precision 1000cc injectors.
- Aeromotive fuel pressure regulator.
- HKS T51R KAI turbo with custom upgraded compressor wheel that is 10% bigger than the original wheel for more airflow/power.
- Custom built turbo manifold for HKS T51R
- Custom intake pipe with 4" inlet 9" long AEM Dryflow filter
- Twin HKS blow off valves
- HKS 60mm wastegate
- Boost Logic T4 Turbo blanket
- Custom fabbed 3.5" downpipe.
- Custom fabbed oval exhaust mid pipe. Allows for SUPER LOW ground clearance.
- DMH electric low profile cutout.
- Custom fabbed 3" intercooler piping with big 31x12x3" front mount intercooler.
- Race built A650E automatic transmission. Cryo treated ALL parts, extra clutch packs, upgraded to race clutches, upgraded sprag. Tested at 30psi+ of boost with no problems.
- Precision Industries Dragon 3200rpm high stall torque converter
- Supra TT Auto 3.76 LSD rear differential.
Selling it all as a package for $14k (you are responsible for freight charges if I have to ship) If you want your GS to easily run 700hp+ then this is your solution![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
To replicate this setup would cost you around $20k+.
If you want all this stuff installed and are local to me. Leave your car with me for about 2 weeks and I can have everything swapped in and running strong.
I'll take some more pictures tomorrow, but here are some pictures I've taken in the past.
Picture as is with some stuff being removed. Sorry for it not being the cleanest condition.

Below are 2 pictures when I had it shined up. It was on my previous turbo setup, the one you're buying will have the HKS turbo.

At that price, does it come w/ installation? ![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I remember seeing pictures of a car w/ an underhood fire. I'm thinking it wasn't you, but just wanted to make sure sure it wasn't.
Also wondering if you'd sell the LSD diff seperate, as its not related to the motorswap persay.

I'm keeping the car, but just going with a different motor setup lol ![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Still debating on the new setup. It's going to be either one of these two:
Twin turbo fully built LS3 with 6 speed manual.
OR
2JZ-GTE VVTi 3.4L stroker with extra goodies and 6speed v160 manual.
