no it's not
I own the car
I think I know better if it's a 2.0L or a 3.0L

i'm going to appoligize right now
i'm sorry man
when i got the car i assumed it was a 3.0L because all the other ones I saw were 3.0L so I got it in my head that it said 3.0L on the engine
that's the only reason I was so stubborn about the whole 3.0L thing
I figured I know better because I can see it on my engine but I realized this and checked my engine and there are no markings
so as far as I know it is a 2.0L then which sucks
when I bought the car I thought I was getting a 3.0L
any suggestions as to whether I should fix up this engine or just do a complete engine swap?
and the other thing I'm wondering is lets say that I swap with a 7MGTE, can I keep my turbos? I love my turbos and will be reluctant to do a swap if it means I'm left with none or a single turbo

The only swap you should consider is a 2.5L 1jz-gte. It is also a twin turbo motor. You will need a R-154 tranny for it as well.

Whats wrong with the 2.0L? i think its pretty cool. If you upgrade it alot you shld have a super high reving motor that would be rare and differant.

you're lookin at about 280 horses with the 2.5L 1jz-gte right?
sounds good to me
a high rpm enigine would be cool too though but I'm looking for the power more I think
either way I still gotta do my manual transmission swap
this will all be alot easier now that I know what I'm running under the hood
my only hope right now is that my current engine is the 210hp version and not the 185hp model
if I dropped the 1jz-gte would I need to get new turbos?
I think I will eventually because mine are old and leaking where they connect but I would just like to know

If you buy a used 1jz twin turbo just buy it wit the turbos on it. They will be better turbos than what you have now
