Default Looking for a SUPER clean 2JZGTE motorset.

Been having a hard time finding a clean 2jzgte (NON vvti) engine. Alot of dirty looking engines out there.

Need something very clean. Transmission not needed unless it is part of the set. Needs to have an ecu, UNCUT wiring harness, and tested compression.

Do any of you guys know of anyone selling or a shop that is reputable that currently has some with ACTUAL pics of the engine?

This is obviously going to be an Aristo jdm motor since anything else is impossible to find or extremely expensive.

Thumbs up SimplyZBes

Try TigerJapanese.com but tell them what you need and that you want a very clean motor. Also tell them that if the send you junk, you will dispute the charge and they won't get paid. Someone I knew did that and got a clean motor. Other than that, you can google some local jam engine depots and see the motors in person. Don't count out eBay either because from time to time good looking motors pop up. Good Luck....

I did all that. And Tiger is the LAST place I will ever do business with. Every account I have read about these guys pointed to them being scam artists, being known to fk with people, and being dishonest altogether about everything.

Try suprastore they are very helpful and know their ****
Or always could call up Arron at driftmotion
I personally got my 1jz motor from them
Wiring harness was uncut and ecu was in working order
Been driving on the motor for bout a year or so and actually just put a single on it and it's still running strong
You can get his personal cell number off their website
Call him up and if he has one at the shop he will send you pics of the actual motor your buying

Thanks. I have dealt with driftmotion in the past. Great guy.

Didn't know those guys dealt with swaps.

As for Supra Store... are they really still in business? I remember I had to wait like half a year for a stupid clutch from them. And they 95% of the time never call back or pick up the phone.

ive ordered few things from suprastore and they have been very helpful everytime ive called with a few questions
i cant say from experience about their motors but i would buy from them or driftmotion over any of the half-*** motors some of these websites offer
just my 2 cents
and also...
when i bought my swap from arron i also bought many other things for it
and i got hum to cut 10% the price off and free shipping on everything lol

Man... I just saw that sale thread on SF. Talk about a perfect engine bay. Is that the engine you are talking about that he is selling with a single turbo and custom intake manifold? I am just looking for a stock engine right now, no funds for a single 2jzgte all at once at the moment. Unless he has another stock one.
