I encountered a few issues along the way. Im sure im forgetting some but heres the ones i can remember.
1. Driveshafts are different. I thought it may be just as simple as changing yokes but it wasnt. I ended up using my aristo driveshaft even though it was a tad shorter.
2. Throttle cable must be replaced. I went with one from a supra.
3. I have a 99 so wiring was plug and play as far as the ecu goes.
4. To make the tach work 1 wire must be added in. On the jdm ignitor the 3rd plug from the left is empty. You can take the old wire(green) thats in the same spot on your old ignitor out and place it in the slot thats open on the jdm ignitor (3rd from left). Connect that wire to the black/yellow wire that is on a white plug closest to the front of the car in the ecu box. The black/yellow wire should be the second to the left on the top row.
5. Since i was doing the JDM swap the bolt pattern off the turbo is an odd 3 bolt so i ended up going with a custom downpipe.
6. JDM's wastegate is tiny so you must do a restrictor plate in your exhaust system to prevent over boost.
7. If your using the gs radiator you must find a longer upper radiator hose. the lower one is fine and will line up.
8. You will need to run a fuel return line. I did a 5/16 barb fitting for the line coming from the motor and connected it to a 3/8 barb fitting. I connected a -6ss line to the fitting and ran it all the way back to the top of my aristo fuel pump assembly.
9. Since i was doing the swap and i was going to be working in the area anyway i added a walbro 255 fuel pump, full 3" exhaust, b&m tranny cooler, fresh plugs and a few other things.
Im sure theres more to come but thats what i can think of at the moment.
