I talked to osaka about their claimed 3500 2jzgte swap and this is what I got , an aristo auto engine mated to a 1jz 5 spd tranny. I found that price hard to believe being that I cant even come close to getting a 6spd swap near that price, and that is if you can even find one at all. It took me 9 months to source one in japan for a good price. Not starting anything but the motors I have seen come from osaka are not the cleanest by any means!!!! This has been my first hand experience.

no, I did not buy anything from osaka nor will I. When I was in search for a 2jzgte, I asked them and they said the 3500 deal consisted of 1 aristo 2jzgte auto engine with a 1jzgte 5spd tranny. When I asked them about a 6spd they said they did not have one but it would be more expensive.

...okay say 3500$ for the engine. 2500 for tranny...3000 for the supra rear end (cuz they do the 6-speed) then probably like 2000+ in misc parts if not more....so all together they charge like 17g's...that might not be bad to you...but for me it is =/

So I am still left wondering how the heck a ARB referee would know where the freaking engine came form in the first place if you where to locate and install these plus the rest of the California required parts? Do serial numbers come into play here?
Agian, I want to be wrong, as this latest info has brought my intended swap to a screaching halt. I am also left wondering if those who know are reluctant to post answers in our public forum. Hearing a lot of you have to know people to get this done. Before I drop $8-10k, I am not sure I am going to rely on "get to know people" to save my @ss and my car from impound.

USDM =California ? Was the supra tt 2jzgte a 50 state car? I not trying to be difficult here, I really don't know if this is the case. My SC300 specifcally has a sticker under the hood in reference to meeting California emission requirements.
