My friend at Kaizen motorsports can get you the engine if you want he get's good guarantee engines that work with ECU and harness and aristo transmission as well and his in huntington beach. He got me my engine and he installed it and it's been running ever since my car left his shop with no problem. If your interested of course.

Make sure to get the MAF you will need it, it is different than the GS. The igniter is the same part number as the GS so don't sweat it if a swap doesn't include it.

I don't know why that other company lists the VVTI as 94+ since 1997 was the first year of the VVTI Aristo..


You can try www.jspecauto.com as well. They have a flat rate of $99 shipping to the 48 states. I've gotten a few things from them as they are local to me and have had great experience. I would call as they have more stock than whats on the website. I know they got a new container this week, I'm pretty sure they had a VVTI aristo on the shipment, I do know for sure they had a VVTI/6spd supra combo on there if you wanna go all out.

I actually ended up stopping by jspecauto today to pick up a set of TE37's they got for me, and saw they do have 1 Aristo VVTI in stock, with uncut Harness, Tranny, MAF, Igniter, and a Non-Immobilizer ECU. Price quote was $2399 and that price also included shipping to any of the 48 states.

That seems like a good price. Have you or anyone you know purchase a 2JZ from them?

Yes I have purchased few times from the Ashland, VA location since it is local and I can drive there as have other local guys I know. Nice guys there, I've never had a problem. I personally looked over the VVTI Auto Aristo and the VVTI 6spd Supra engine while I was there the other day, they looked to be in excellent condition (as in not oil/grease covered from leaky seals, or obvious broken parts), they will provide compression papers and warranty with the purchase.

The VVTI Aristo had a Polished Throttle body and Twin Turbo Inlet Neck (the stock parts) I thought I snapped a pic but I don't see it on my phone..

I searched but couldn't find a lot of information regarding single turbo conversions on the 2jz-gte. I know I def want to go single and was considering the borg warner efr 7064 twinscroll turbo. Any experts have feed back or suggestions?
