OOOOOOH!!!! Nice save!

Too good to be true it looks like.

They sell bad motors? I feel for the poor bastards that bought from them.

I hope they dont burn many people.

It is an Aristo engine. Supra is mid sump, Aristo is front sump. That is definately an Aristo engine, not a Supra engine as stated in the ad. . .

I might be wrong but this looks like a killer deal and very doable.
in the add it also says"***YOU WILL RECEIVE A JDM TOYOTA SUPRA
2JZ GTE TWIN TURBO 3.0L ENGINE WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, WIRING HARNESS, & ECU SIMILAR TO THE ONE PICTURED***

Similar to the one pictured may mean not blue cover anyway.

Yeah, someone just won the bid for $1,899.

Seems like an unreal deal with everything included.

After selling off some of the 400 parts I'm at about $1800 out of pocket when all said & done. And that includes extra items I purchased to finish the swap too (mid pipe, fuel feed line, motor mounts, damaged sensors). It was way less than I though but that is also because labor is free when you DIY.

If someone on here purchased that engine and wants the Aristo airbox, MAF, sidemount intercooler & intercooler piping I have it. PM me for info. I'm going front mount so I don't need it.

Remember to run the intercooler piping on the passenger side under the headlight like the stock setup .

When I purchased mine, they sent me the pressure test for all cylinders before we even finished the payment.

That's exactly how it runs. I was glad I didn't have to cut/trim any metal. I did have to trim the plastic side engine shield for the pipe to pass through though. It all bolted right up.
