Looking to get an 2JZ swap for my GS300 and was wondering are there any cons of get the VVTI model???? Does the Aristo come with VVTI cause I'm looking to get a front clip.

I heard VVTI causes problems at high HP ratings. Aristo I believe does not.

Our generation Aristo came vvt-i in japan with the 1st Gen body gs3 coming in a gte non vvt-I turbo. You really shouldn't have any issues if you go standalone on higher hp goals.. I think we have a couple guys here who are running the vvt-i gte swap. Maybe they can chime in.

VVTi GTE has cams available now. Previously the restriction was that there were no VVTi cams on the market. Now there are a few sets available so it's no problem if you want to aim for higher power.

Well 1st thier all 2jz's including what you have now in your gs300. I think what you mean is GTE. Theirs the 2jz-gte vvt-i and non vvt-i gte which came in the older Aristos. Difference is about 10 tq I think I read, that and the vvt-i turbos blades are steel like the US supras not ceramic. The vvt-i clip should cost a little more than non vvt-i Gte clip but it's a little more plug and play than the non vvt-i. Sounds confusing? Jeff could probably explain better than me.
