Default WTB: 2jzgte motor set engine 1jzgte

Looking for a 2jzgte engine swap.
Located in Los Angeles, but willing to pick up within a 4-5 hour radius.
Cash ready for a reasonably priced motor set.
Also looking for a 1jzgte for my 240sx

Thanks guys

Best of luck. I would try ebay or "google" the word "2JZGTE" to find places that have them.

I tried here a while back, and didn't get any responses from people actually selling a set.

Make sure to ask them to do a compression test too.

compression numbers from a motor outside of the car can always be played with.
pm me. i can probaly source you one, but its going to be a motor with a garuntee and stuff so that mean a couple hundred extra.

Get on Zilvia.net (you should be a member since you have a 240sx) and check out ZEROLIFT
they are located more twds the east coast but they have very good deals on 1& 2j'sand have sold many motorsets to people on the west coast.

@SuperJatt, that is very true, compression number can be toyed with outside the car. Im looking for something to rebuild anyways, at the end of the day all 2jzgte's need rebuilds to be reliable at high boost. Let me know if you can find anything reasonably priced. Thanks.

I have a buddy that found on a craigslist from florida and had the guy ship it.
I learned the hard way to always have a peace of mind. Money always comes and goes.

@superjatt
All the gte motorsets seem to be in Florida or Texas :/ I could probably get someone to ship but there's always that risk of getting ripped off. Very true, money comes and goes, got to get used to it right... let me know if you find anything please.
