MikeFD3S, a lot of the parts are interchangable between the 1JZ and 2JZ-GTE engines. From what I can tell, the ignitor and coils are the same between engines. I haven't cross-referenced the part numbers but physically they are the same as my buddy's Supra, same size, color, number of pins, etc.

I can imagine parts like coil packs, ignitors, or other subsystems going bad on those engines to be a liability, since the only replacements afaik are used, and have a bit of a wait time associated with getting/sourcing them.

Well, If i remember correctly, most 2jz parts are direct bolt ons.

Im not really looking for crazy power yet, just enough power to keep it reliable, but fun.

Did you disable VVTI ? I cant seem to find any local places here in L.A. that have a 5 Speed Soarer clip, but from what I can tell, Venus has both VVTI and Non VVTI 5 speed clips. I may just go VVTI, $300 difference in clips.

The soarer 5 speed in a unicorn.. VERY rare... I say it all the time if the swap is done correctly you will have no issues that you wouldn't with the stock motor... You will love the 1jz swap and the stock W58 5 speed will hold up fine with just bolt ons...
