Of course, the exhaust setup is different from the n/a so you'll need an aftermarket (catless) downpipe or an oem downpipe (with cat) to hook up to the oem egcv housing.

Where are you getting the 2jz-gte? If it's from a Japanese engine dealer, it'll likely be from an Aristo, which means the oil pan will need to be changed (you can use the one from your 2jz-ge). It's a LOT of work getting the oil pan completely clean before applying the new gasket material because the upper oil pan is aluminum and there are narrow grooves you have to clean out - of course a steel brush or wire wheel will take aluminum off too, which is why the job is so cumbersome.

However, note that this swap won't produce a full TT Supra. For example, the abs braking system on the n/a is significantly inferior to the tt's.

Lastly, please note that you can't stop folks from posting - especially if the info they have to share is relevant. However, you do have the power to ignore anyone's posts, and wait for someone else to post who has better info for you.

Peace, and best of luck.

amen brother!

The place where iam getting this is from a jap parts dealer, but engine is from a tt supra. The package includes everything from the engine and all that goes with it, tranny, diff and rear subframe. I plan on upgrading the braking system at a later date so the TT abs system doesnt really interest me anyways. Thanks alot for trying to help me but again i wanted to know if there was any suprises or wiring issues to worry about, the rest im pretty well informed about. Sorry if i offended you with my last post but it just seemed as though noone really had info that could be useful to me, i dont see the use in posting things like ''never seen it done'' and ''seems difficult''...

well i am sorry that my information did not help you either but i will give you a bit of useful info sell the n/a car and buy a TT then you would'nt have to worry about swapping anything to begin with. sounds like you have the money to do so, cant be cheap importing a jdm supra engine. buying a imported engine with the whole drivetran never heard nor seen that! hope this helps

well as a matter of fact instead of costing me 20,000$ for a stock TT, its going to cost me about 14,000$ after its swapped. I also like the fact that not many people have done this, thats why i want to do it!

If your n/a is US-spec (LHD), and the harness is Japanese-spec (RHD), it won't work.

I believe you're correct, but he also acted like I said something like that too, when he said to me "why are you even posting replies if your not someone whos already done this?" when he responded to my post here:

Either way, no biggie. It seems all straightened out now...
