dude you made this look so easy to do. any kind of engine management are you using.

 

 

very nice! do any of you guys know whats the pros and cons as far as doing a gte vvti or just a straight supra gte?

 

nice
id love to see the finished product

the sickness of the swap made me forget that ur thread title says GS3000

 

hey i live in houston where are you from and i was wondering where you source the motor from and how much was it. i am planning on doing the swap soon too

 

very nice

 

That motor and set up is incredible!!

 

probably has something to do with the 3000 marking on the valve cover (for 3000cc)

 

Source the motor from a company in Canada who specializes in Japanese imports....Ran a compression test on the motor and it is running strong

No EMS yet but I plan on going AEM EMS, when I go single turbo.

explains VVT-I:

http://www.newcelica.org/other/faq/vvtl-i/vvtl-i.htm

From what I've been told the VVT-I adds about 5HP. Not to mention the 2JZ-GTE VVT-I motor has more torque than the USDM 2JZ-GTE and JDM 2JZ-GTE.

335@3600 to be exact. And the real rated HP on these motors were around ~350HP. But lowered due to a law in Japan.

Finally got it running, will post a video soon. We ran into a problem that we couldn't figure out. Turns out to be loose intercooler piping...Duurrrr.

Pros: Easier wiring and over all better engine than just a 2JZ-GTE JDM. (USDM 2JZ-GTE is hard to get a hold of and incredibly high in demand) And it seems like I'm getting pretty good MPG even though I'm running rich as hell. I freaking love it!

Cons: Expensive to mod and the swap was expensive.

 

I bet the neighbors love you lol.

and no vids?

 

It's not that bad. I think open headers on a 4cyl is worse. No videos yet haven't had time. I will make one soon. Just a some simple fly bys.

 

Is a 2jzgte faster than the v8 in a gs430?

 

Well...I believe the V8 has more torque...I don't know about faster. Stock for stock it be pretty close. But with just a simple boost controller and up the boost a little bit. The V8 430 would get walked...

Off a dig race I think the 430 might have a jump to 60mph. But 1/4 mile I couldn't tell you....

GS430 with a turbo kit would be a monster though.

 

watch out for (I think it was) blulex. He might send you some special brownies if youre too loud at 2AM .

 

i'm not sure about the time to 60mph, but the 430 would definitely have you in the first 60 feet. I would think that with the boost kicking in the GTE'd 300 would definitely get 60 faster. After all, the v8 2GS is only a second or so faster than the i6, which only puts down around 190hp to the wheels.

as for a roll, say 40 or so, the initial torque again goes to the v8 but the GTE would definitely pick up that ground really fast once the boost kicks in.

throw bolt-ons on the v8, then you'd have a decent race vs. stock GTE.

and a turbo on the v8 would be sick, but an S/C would build the boost a little quicker
