JDM Engines

i bought a jdm engine for my first supra turbo. I didn't have any problems with it, didn't burn a drop of oil or leak anything. also when i put it in i did a compression test on it and they were all within 3psi and at 160 psi

Im thinking about the same thing, but the more I think about going to the 7MGTE I think it might be smarter to go the 2JZGTE because its a newer engine so parts will be cheaper and more available and I can go to OBD2 diagnostics.

If you have the money go ahead and do a 2JZ swap but it will definately cost a lot more. Will be more reliable too. As for the OBD2 you might be better off going with a pre96 2J with OBD1 that way you don't need to worry about the downstream O2 sensors and it will probably be easier to tune. Not sure but thats what I think.
