Crazy how a year ago it was cheaper to buy a GTE instead of build a solid NA+t which is the way I am going

GE head gasket is not composite rubbish as this video says. Its a single layer viton coated gasket that actually is pretty strong. Best option is putting rods in a 2jzge vvti and gte headgasket no real need to do head studs factory head bolts are the same from gte to ge. Go standalone and run e85, I follow a couple guys who are making 700-900whp with stock GE vvti pistons just changing out rods and headgasket. Could also just boost a 2jzge non vvti and run the distributor as your CAS and wire in some vvti coils or LS, gtr or yaris coils. You'd benefit from the higher compression with e85 and wouldnt even have to crack open the engine.

I have a 2jzge+t and it holds 350kw fine. Was way cheaper to upgrade to forged pistons and rods than to search for a whole non vvti bottom end. All in my build cost me $6500 about the same as it would be to buy a non vvti in Australia

Jesus christ I'm stoked I didn't have 2jz ge last year, definitely needed this

AWESOME VIDEO Clayton! We all do APPRECIATE all the time to take to make these video. This helps us by not spending money on things that do NOT work. Cheers!

Awesome mate, your a wealth of knowledge and this is an important resource for 2JZ followers everywhere! Thank you

full video of turbo 2jz GE pls! give the people what they want we all to broke for the GTE

i have a 1987 Toyota supra swapped a jdm non-vvti 2jzge in it and slapped a 70mm turbo on it with a greddy e management ultimate only ran 8 psi of boost was great then i wanted more so i rebuilt the motor the ge head gasket is single layer metal not composite. took the head and block to a machine shop got them decked and put new oem 2jzge piston rings and acl bearings (crank and rods) arp crank bolts arp rod bolts got a new oem 2jzgte head gasket arp head bolts new asin 2jzge oil pump VITON VALVE STEM SEALS 650cc denso injectors and put it all back together you can do it for cheaper but i went all out. and for oil pumps you cant run a gte oil pump on a ge block you can but you will push the front main seal out from to much oil pressure. 2jzgte are getting really pricey you can turbo a 2jzge as long as you know what you are doing!

So I found a non vvti Ge for $500 bought it Modified the head for a cam sensor Bought HKS 272 for $400 ( could buy factory tt cams for like $200) Bought a stand alone ecu $1000 Did lq9 cool packs $100 Modified factory harness So far I’m $1100 into it and I would have done a stand along and cams in a tt either way so the GE is much more cost effective

Hey Claiton!!! I would love to pick your brains about 2 of these options! I live in sydney and am currently putting together an NA-T build!!

Nice informations, thank you ! We want more about this :)

For those wanting further info. The skid factory went through all the differences between the 1j/2j ge/gte VVTI/non vvti

Been running a 2000 gs300 2jzge vvti for 2 years making 648whp with no problems at all. Running a GTX3584

Love your channel man it needs more views this is great info.. ill make sure to subscribe and share ive got a gs300 turbo so this info is great love it

Super budget boost, turbo kit on a bone stock 2jzge, wire up safc2 Maybe injectors and headgasket. Not going to make a ton of power but more fun than NA

Thanks for the video! This is helpful and extremelyly informative!

Please ,let's see those 2jzge build upgrades..

Great video, I went gte and I’m happy I did.

Good info bro , Supra looks sick in the snapshot :-)

Awesome video mate good job!

Love your videos man, excited to turbo my 92 sc300! Thinking vvti ge head to get rid of the distributor lol, definitley option 3 but i think its still more cost effective than buying a gte with their prices in us rn

Toyota started remaking and selling the 2JZ-GTE non vvti head. I bought a brand new one for $2400 AUD a few years ago. Could be an alternative to the 1.5J option.

the ge distributor houses the crank and cam angle sensors, you can just remove the cap and rotor and use the base of the distributor instead of getting sensor ports welded to the head and replacing the oil pump. you also need a ignition pulse confirmation synthesizer to run yaris coils on a gte ecu

Excellent information, thank you!

4th option, if you have a mk3 turbo supra with a 7mgte, swap all of the electronics wiring and ecu over to the 2jzge. You will still need a thicker head gasket but it would be a fun build.

I am building a 2GZ-GE VVTi block with GTE internals for my IS 300 (Altezza). It’ll have a GE head for better exhaust flow. So far I’m not into it very much money at all.

Or just get gte pistons and rods, gte head gasket and arp head studs on the 2jz ge vvti

In todays times a GTE is $7500 cheapest versus some people saying $6500 for their NA-T

Hey mate, instead of trying to weld those cam sensors in there (and risk ruining your head, I have no experience welding), you can get a cam sensor kit from Goleby racing in Queensland. For just a couple hundred bucks, I'd rather be safe than sorry. Love the videos, very informative

You compare apples with oranges take the turbos of the gte then compare power ge head very good big no no for 1jz head otherwise good info keep up the good work

I've seen a couple comments addressing mistakes/missing info in this video. Another is that late JDM 2JZ-GTEs (1999 - 2002) use both maf and map sensors.

You said blocks were the same bar the turbo drain, what about the (lack of) oil squirters on GE block, also the 1JZ Vvti variant has single turbo not twins. No mention of having to modify oil gallery for 1.5J build.

I'm wondering if everything also applies to 1jz ge and gte engines

I will be going with the 1.5jz option. Will I need a non vvti 1jz head or vvti? I have a non vvti 2jz ge now. Thanks for the informational video

can you use 2jz gte vvti cams on a 2jz ge vvti

great vid. suggestion for an option 4, 2jzge vvti. would and stock 2jz gte ecu be suficient for a 2jzge vvti +tt

Hello and best regards from Poland. Recently I found your channel on KZfaq and I was very interested, as you know Poland, we have a country, Poles who are so themselves and not everything can be arranged immediately and find out everything. And the Internet knows information from all over the world and everything is available I must admit that I do not sit well on the topic of 2JZ Ge and 2JZ GTE engines, I know the differences between these engines, I have a lot of information about these engines, but there is always something missing and there are many ambiguities, inaccuracies. . which solution would be the simplest and I do not hide the cheapest ... greetings Sebastian

Can u do a video on the 1jzgte none vvti

build the na-t hands down from a base

If you have a 92-95 sc300/ non turbo Supra then you have the 2jzgte bottom end with ge head. After 95 they switched to vvti, thinner connecting rods and weaker rings. If you are putting a thicker headgasket on your 92-95 ge and put new valve stems with arp headstuds then you’re able to run up to 20 psi of boost reliably. Tell me how I know, I own a boosted 92 sc300

hey there i have a 1jz ge non vvti. and i understand that the non vvti 1jz's have the same pistons and rods as the 1jz gte. im wondering if the factory distributer is enough for crank pos. when tuning. from my understanding al i need to do for the 1jz ge non vvti to turbo it is the basic turbo/ mani/ and lines and tuning ... do i need to do anything special for a na/t for the 1jz non vvti? or can i just turbo it like a regular car.

subbed WHERES THE VIDEO MYGUY BECAUSE IM GOING TO THE JUNKYARD AND GRABBING THE BLOCK AND HARNEss.

Says Chaser but shows a MARK II. Also the VVTI 1JZGE was before '97. What about the fact that 1JZ head might bolt onto 2JZ but the oil feed doesn't line up?

Hello Clayton! My name is Moe and I subscribed to your channel long ago as it is an AWESOME channel I must say! Really enjoy your knowledge as well as your energy and vigor. I'm an old bloke who now has 3 LEXUSs, a 98 GS400, 01 IS300 and 03 GS300. My question is regarding my IS. It is high mileage (200k) and an automatic. Not to be a bother but could you let me know what I would ABSOLUTELY need to get 350-370HP out of it? I'm a bit confused about Ecus and automatics as well as is it even ok to turbo this car with the mileage. I know I'm asking alot of your time. It's just that there is SO MUCH info out there but I really trust you and your knowledge! Thanks for any help. Cheers.

One thing I notice in your video, you didn't mention if you could wire in or use the VVti. Could you elaborate on this?

Specifically aristo jzs147 and 161

Can I turn my ge into a gte??

Great Video! OKay I have a 2002 Lexus Is300 5 Speed W55 coverted from Auto with M98 LSD. The 2JZ-GE engine has 345km/210 miles on odometer but I think the engine is less and was swapped at some point? This 2JZ does not have distributor and it does have Apexi afc piggy back? I want to turbo it without removing the engine? Or find the best way to rebuild and turbo a different 2jz-ge outside the car before I swap it back in? Thanks i look forward to your videos

@ SUPRA VWORLD Great vid!! I have a ? So I have a 2005 Lexus GS300 with the tip tronic Manuel mode, I want to swap in a GTE and still be able to use the tip tronics. Which 2JZ-GTE engine would be the best to swap into my car? Thx!

Why not a 2jzge vvti block and head with 2jzge non vvti/2jzgte rods and pistons? That seems like the best bang for buck. Run e85 for big power to keep the heat out of the pistons for the lack of oil squirters and call it a win, ya?

for 1.5jz which oil galary we should drill for swap 1jz head and which is cheap swap?

Question: Can I swap a is300 2jzge-vvti cylinder head on my 2JZGTE-VVTI aristo?

So, please tell me what 2jz should I put in my bmw e36? 2jz ge non vvti 2jz ge vvti 2jz gte non vvti 2jz gte vvti. Which one should I buy to start my project? I am going to change internals anyway. I want to make 600hp +. Thanks.

In/ex valve its same size?

So you’re telling me I can’t turbo my gs300 without spending a lot of money?

Man I have a 2JZGE VVT -i 👎🏾

Here I'n the USA the 2JZ GTE is $7500 to $10000 USD

2:13 thats not a chaser its a mark ii

1:50 stop saying nonsense like this some people only want 300hp so the vvti is just fine for that

This is why you don't take info off the internet and try to make a video if you have not gone thru the process. Half of his info is wrong and this video gets a thumbs down.

Non vvti ge is the best engine.

So just buy a gte engine and slap it in to a is300
