Updates!

So here it is.. just getting back from today's JDM shop' shopping in Montreal, I have bought a very clean 2JZ GTE with auto trans in what seems to be an excellent condition! The motor haven't run for a long time and the compression test give 180 on all cylinders! 

Here's in the truck when I picked him up!

Here we had to take the soarer out to have place for getting the 2JZ in the garage! Snowy day..,

Let disamble the oil pan from the 1JZ and other accessories that can be remove for spare parts! The oil pan have to be clean and installed on the 2JZ because Aristo one are front sump and soarer are rear sump.

Here's the automatic transmission... If anyone interest for it? I wont used it. 

And finally my new girlfriend on the engine stand lol! I have everything, even spare parts for those that are broken!

As mentionned for the swap, I have everything with the ECU.

I watch on internet everything about a 2JZ swap and it don't seem like having a LOT of wiring to do.. I have to do some, right, just about it was an automatic trans swap to manual. But for real.. we will see, I'm just telling about what I've read because that's my first swap! My buddy is a very good mecanic so we are going to get thru this! And that's true, i don't have to lenghten the harness as I'm RHD already

Oh and, DoomLight, the sequential cannot be running parallel, unless you want to go into some mecanical headache complexity.... it's not just an electric wiring thing. This soarer is going to run sequential turbos, exactly like the supra/aristo and exactly like this motor is suppose to run.

I'll get on update soon, the thing is to make it operationnal for mid april! So I don't have time to lose!

Thanks for the comment again guys!
