Default Engine Help 2JZ-GE

Hey guys, I might be in the wrong section posting about this but maybe someone can help me out.

I recently came across a 2jz-ge(non turbo engine) with 11k miles on it. it was swapped out from a 98 supra for a twin turbo engin. The engine has been sitting in the garage since 98. Pics will come soon. Can this be put into a 2GS?

yes, the 98+ 2jz-GE Is vvti.

as long as the GS is vvti as well, it will bolt right in. Uses same ECU and everything.

From Wiki regarding the application:

VVT-i, introduced in 1996, varies the timing of the intake valves by adjusting the relationship between the camshaft drive (belt, scissor-gear or chain) and intake camshaft. Engine oil pressure is applied to an actuator to adjust the camshaft position. In 1998, "Dual" VVT-i (adjusts both intake and exhaust camshafts) was first introduced in the RS200 Altezza's 3S-GE engine. Dual VVT-i is also found in Toyota's new generation V6 engine, the 3.5L 2GR-FE V6. This engine can be found in the Avalon, RAV4, and Camry in the US, the Aurion in Australia, and various models in Japan, including the Estima. Dual VVT-i is also used in the Toyota Corolla (1.6 dual VVT-i 124bhp). Other Dual VVT-i engines include the 1.8L 2ZR-FE I4, used in Toyota's next generation of compact vehicles such as the Scion XD. It is also used in the 2JZ-GE and 2JZ-GTE engines used in the Lexus IS300 and in the Toyota Supra. By adjusting the valve timing engine start and stop occurs virtually unnoticeably at minimum compression. In addition fast heating of the catalytic converter to its light-off temperature is possible thereby reducing hydrocarbon emissions considerably.

No one is making the suggestion otherwise. The engine he's refering to is the VVT-i, 2JZ-GE.

i know, but elitistK had asked if the engine was VVTi or not and I pointed out the fact that 1989lexus had said it was a 98 supra, included that for clarification purposes. Good find on that wiki though, crazy what you can dig up these days
