1997 SC300 5 speed 1JZGTE swap
Hi, I have searched for days now and have not found the answer im looking for.
1. Has anyone here done a 1JZ in to a 1997+ SC???
2. Is the wiring all that diffrent from the regular 1jZ swap into a OBD1 system?? (Just extending the body plugs)
3 And the last question. Is it easier to do a 1JZGTE or a 2JZGTE into a 1997 SC300????

LOL. So 1JZ is winning? Given a choice without looking at the expense aspect, 2JZ is hands down a better choice.
I know one person. He wishes he just turned his stock motor like many others.
The wiring harness and ECU are different. Also you will need to extend the harness because JDM ECU sits on the other side of the cabin.
It is easier to swap a 2JZ and you'll be making more power.
I think most people don't know what they're talking about.

I'm not familiar with the OBDII stuff but honestly I would go for the 2jzgte from the beginning. I went 1J because it was cheap at the time and I just went single because I roasted my stock twins with all that I could have gone BPU 2JZGTE and have about the same that I have now single. Bottom line is you spend some now and some later with the 1J or you spend all now and go 2J. The 2J twins will last for a while can go up to 4XXHP.
