Ok guys I just received my auto 1jz vvti rear sump out of a soarer. Just like how it looked in the pics. Got the whole motor and trans for 1300 and 245 shipping. What you guys think? Had it shipped to the shop where I work and just got it to my house today. I'll have pics up tomorrow.

 

congrats... whats it gping in 300 or 400? whered u get it from if u dnt mind me asking.

 

Couple questions about extending the harness. I heard theres like one or two shielded wires that I gotta use usb cables for? And how long do I extend them.

 

where from engine and trany?

 

95 sc300 from eBay seller vtecmotors

 

Just took the trans and torque converter off today, starter, ecu, maf sensor, fan, igniter. Getting ready to lengthen the harness

 

Which valve cover gasket set do I use for 1jz vvti motor?

 

USB cable is far too thin. You need legitimate wire. You need to extend the camshaft and crankshaft sensors. If you are OBD-II you can use the wire from your current crank shaft sensor. The knock sensors are also shielded. I prefer to simply replace the two in the GTE harness with the two in the GE harness.

 

vc gaskets are the same.

 

As the same as what?

 

11213-88400 for non vvti
11213-88410 for vvti
so they are "different"
and thus i would order the ones for the car properly.
i just order my parts from toyota in australia.. if i cant get them from here.

 

Soarer93 is right the 1JZ vvti uses different valve cover gaskets. If you want to try and use USDM parts get the 2jz-ge vvti gaskets.

 

will it be the same tho?

 

part numbers are still different.
11213-88410 VVTI 1jz intake
11214-88410 VVTI 1jz exhaust

11213-46020 VVTI 2jz intake
11214-46011 VVTI 2jz exhaust

Some people use the non vvti 2j gaskets on the non vvti 1jz but have the following problem:

the difference is that the 2j's are molded a little different in that they follow a path that gooes around some of the valve cover bolts, making them just a little longer

so they have to push in the gasket a bit here and there to make it fit..
im going to assume the vvti is no different in terms of its small differences.

 

so where would i find the exact valve cover gasket set?
