If you have a 1994 it would be much easier to do a non-vvti swap. The engine itself is a good upgrade and one of the more common swap's for SC's. I would be weary of buying engines through EBAY, though. Make sure whomever you buy from has good feedback and and has a reputation for selling 'clean' engines.

it depends what you want to do. the vvt-i 1jz has a single turbo compared to non vvt-i twins. seems like you want alot of power an dealing with vvt-i is a headache with all the restrictions. I might be wrong but im just using general knowledge. although the vvt-i is slightly more efficient though in terms of fuel an low end power

The swap is just as easy as any of the other jz motors and it uses alot of the parts from the regular ge and gte motors. That thread shows pic of a vvti swaped is300 with a 62mm down here in Fl and shows the parts that can be swapped from the older jz motors.

i have a custom fuel rail and i am sending my ct15b to driftmotion after i get my kidney out, and since it is already a single i think most will be happy with the stock numbers. i will be updating my "pics never hurt anyone" thread soon
