I'd also like to add some info for those who are on a BUDGET but would like to wake up your 2jz. You can boost it and not touch the ECU. This is achieved by getting a turbo kit and intercooler kit. Drill and tap the oil feed return line on the oil pan. And running a LOW 5 psi spring in your wastegate. It will run perfectly no issues just make sure you DO NOT go over 6 psi or else you will lean out and fuck up your engine! The ECU does not know what to do with boost past 6PSI so please keep this in mind when doing this! Remember this is for people who want to boost and wake up the 2jz and also do it on a budget! It will serve you well for a long time until you are ready to Upgrade the ECU and headgasket and rods once you get your money up. If you have any questions comment and I'll answer as best I can. Happy boosting!
Watch the ENTIRE video before you ask a question, i get lots of questions I literally answer in the video. Edit Edit: I'm now a dealer for Pulsar Turbo Systems. Edit: I recommend pulsar turbos as a budget friendly turbo now. I upgraded to a g42, so make sure you subscribe and click the bell to be ready for my complete new setup on a stock bottom ge
Very helpful video. But one thing to mention, there is another option for those non-vvti guys like myself. You can do a budget build with the TT ecu mod and keep the distributor for the crank sensor and convert to vvti coils as well. Good for 400-500 hp depending what injector size on the stock 2JZ GTE non vvti TT ecu.
My version of budget build rids you of the limitations of the stock ecu, i feel. It's a complete waste of time and money to purchase a limiter. But to each their own
i have a non vvti 2jzge from japan that i installed in to a mk3 supra im running a greddy emanage ultimate to control timing and fuel haven't taken the motor apart running 10 psi of boost for a year now been great this winter gte head gasket arp studs and then more boost lol
for my 94 rhd w58 trans supra i went with the xspower kit. and also went with the xspower fmic kit that was about 1,600 for both im running stock maf hg and fuel with an SAFC as a mean of management. i also have a stage 3 clutch in my w58. id say honestly the best way to go to first start an na-t build for supras is definitely xspower. cheap reliable and will help you get to the next step of the build. my car makes 400rwhp but soon ill be swapping the W58 for a cd009. hope some of this helped anyone looking for answers in the comments and also if you have any questions ill be more than happy to answer them :)

Hi. I'm St. Lucian who lives in the UK. There's a company called Phoenix engine Management who makes a plug and play harness for whatever set up you desire with ecu master, Link, or Motec No headaches. Will probably cost £500-£700. I got an is300 and will be going Na-t manual soon. Drop them a message.
Im using a GE block from my sc300 i know i can use the rods but can i use the piston heads???? N Im going to use a ge vvti head from n IS300 can i use the stock cams and stock valves????
@@RabidJz oh i was watching some of your videos last night and went to follow on IG, the link in your description is misspelled and doesnt lead to your IG. I figured it out, but i felt i should mention!
I have a 2000 lexus sc300 w vvti, I would like to get around 100 horsepower. So around 320hp. What's the fastest way to get a 100 horsepower gain? I want to make the car last forever and get a little bit more power
So how hard was it to swap a vvti head on a nonvvti ge because I have a 1999 Lexus sc300 and I want to get a nonvvti motor but swap my vvti head on it.?
I did this on an n/a 2J. It's in my 74 260Z. I bolted a trigger wheel to my balancer. I used a 1jz balancer. Made a bracket and have a crank sensor mounted to it. Mega squirt 2 ECU. I removed a threaded block on the left side of the block and threaded a fitting in it for my oil feed line. Used the stock JZ fuel rail. Cut off the pressure regulator and mounted an aftermarket one on the fender. Ford ranger ignitor. Dodge caravan coil pack.
The bottom line is, can you have good success with a simple Turbo kit at waste gate running 7 psi. Stock everything, including computer. I understand some people have actually had great success running a simple 300 horsepower from this and the only reason they set up blew up was because they kept upping the waste gate without proper management. Do you yourself think this is feasible though?
I have a gs300 with a 2JZ GE VVTI. I want to upgrade my rods with maxspeeding h beam rods, but I'm thinking about reusing the GE pistons. I'm planning on running mainly pump E85 and 93 if I'm not near a e85 pump. I know that will help with detonation issues that come with turboing a high compression engine. How do yall feel about that? I was even thinking about doing stock replacement GTE pistons from DNJ with the maxspeeding rods but still at the drawing board would love your opinion @RabidJz
Great video! I'm currently in the process of doing this exact build and the insight on the vvti gear oil supply is what I needed to hear. I'm looking at a borg warner s200 or s300 to keep the install simple with just an oil feed and return line but will check out the turbo you suggested. Do you happen to have an email or Facebook page to follow with questions in the future?

I appreciate the video man.! I'm curious about the intake manifold/TB setup though. Can you sent me a link to the sheet metal intake manifold that you were talking about? What head/Intake manifold/TB setup are you running. It doesn't look like a sheet metal intake. I want to do this on my VVTi setup thanks
I am running a 1.5jz. So my head is a 1jz head that's the stock intake manifold and the tb is a stock 1jz non vvti throttle body. For the intake, go on ebay and type in 2jzge vvti intake manifold or non vvti
My local pick a part has a VVti IS300, a non VVTI SC300 and non VVTI GS300. Trying to figure out the best way to go. You have a non-VVTI bottom end but the intake side cam gear looks like you have a VVTI head. What head are you using? From the SC300 too? Early SC300's/GS300's I didn't think had the solenoid protruding out over the intake cam gear? I'm confused man. Sorry!
I am working on a nat build I have a non vvti bottom end out of a older gs300 and I have a vvti head cause I’ve head they flow a little better and to have coil on plug ignition my pistons look good but with normal skirt wear for a engine with about 150k to 175k miles is there any tips or anything that you didn’t mention that you could think of that I might need to know building this ? I mainly wanna get arp studs for the rods (factory non vvti rods) and head studs thought about upgrading pistons but I don’t know if it’s necessary I’m mainly after reliability and about 400 whp I have a really low mile w58 out of a 98 Suprafor the transmission and the swap is going into a 1966 mustang so I don’t need a shit ton of power I just wanna make this car special cause it’s been in my family for a long time so it’s not Going to be a race car just a really fun street car
The only thing you need in order to make the harness work in any car, is power for coils, injectors, ecu and grounds. You just need to find those and you can build a connector to attach the engine harness to the chassis. Or you can use switches
The Rabid Rb did you just run a braided hose from your sandwich plate to the vvti ocv. I read that the vvti block banjo bolt has a check valve in it and now I’m thinking there’s more strategy to it than that. Any help would be awesome thanks bud!
The Rabid Rb hell yeah that’s easy enough. Everyone on the forums were fabbing up lines to work with the oem banjo like it was super important. I just rebuilt a non vvti block and was going over everything today to make sure I’m not forgetting things and it freaked me out reading that lol. You happen to remember what pitch you got on the hose fittings. Hoping it’s not 2 different thread pitches I need on one hose.
Do you think its worth building the vvti and putting a ar5 trans or just swapping it for a 1jz GTE with the r154 transmission (4k) . cost wise because I just want like 600hp to the crank
Jean Rodriguez Negative you will not pass emissions been there done that. Ended up Moving to jersey and got 24 year old project car to avoid emissions, antique cars don’t need emissions testing.
@@RabidJz well inspection will have to read the ECU....does any cell light comes on with your setup ...someone told me that running a GE ECU with a standalone on a GTE swap can pass....just curious this is a big hassle for guys wanting to go boost living in NY with year to year inspection. Was wondering with your skill and knowledge maybe u know something that can be done to pass
No hate at all super cool build wish I knew what you did thus why I’m watching the video. I was figuring it would be a cheaper option for me to boost my 98 gs300 but after what you have said why not just buy a gte? Mine being a 98 it is practically plug and play wiring etc. but for cost it seems I could get everything I needed for around 4K. I know a stock gte isn’t running 35lbs of boost but I was just wondering thank you.
Mine is a 240, not a gs300. So in that case, you're saving even more money. The difference is, you're paying 3k for the engine just to pay 1k-2k swapping the manifold and adding a big turbo. A stock gte will have no issues making the power I make, but neither would a stock non vvti ge. This video was the cheapest way to get to the goal. When you swap the block, you keep the head, INCLUDING, your harness. It remains pnp. All that extra money you'd spend on the gte you can spend on mods. 500 for a junkyard bottom 1-2k for turbo/mani setup 600 for injectors Right there's is the cost of just a gte.
1.5jz build with 1jzgte vvti bottom end and 2j ge vvti head worth the work or just 1j swap for an is300? And have you had any experience with Link ECU? Thank you so much for your insight!
Hey man can you send me your write up if you dont mind? Picking up a gs300 this week would love to get some research started. Thanks in advance and great video
2jz noobie here I have a toyota S-Runner and I'd like to do a 2jz swap. My local pull a part has about 5 ge engines in stock at $300 a piece... I'd like about 5-600 Hp it's a weekender. I was planning on a ge with pistons rings rods bearings head gasket arp head studs but at that point I'll probably be 3k into it... should I just get a gte and not worry about it?
Just make sure the GE engines are non vvti The older models are non vvti If they’re non vvti, you don’t have to swap out rods or pistons, they’re plenty strong for what you’re aiming for. That make sense?
@@jonathonwilliams93 dude thank you so much! I am buying a second GE here for my IS300 soon that has non vvti bottom end parts and hoping to work on that to make 400-500
Because no one wants to spend 7k on a used unopened engine then needs to be opened and then all the extra crap on top of that to have a single turbo setup. Gte is overpriced and i can make more power out of my stock ge bottom
@@RabidJz ya the unknown engine condition is a scary thing. What do you think the price diff would be I’d say you got lucky and got a mint gte engine and swapped it vs going NA(T)?
@@RabidJz so just to confirm. Non vvti bottom end. Vvti head (vvti running on sandwich plate oil feed) and 35psi?! That's nuts man. Stock vvti head/cams .. etc just headgasket and studs?
I am now subscribed. What is your opinion of the emu black with pnp jumper. I have an s14 as well and am unsure how the chassis wiring works with pnp adapter
Chassis wiring doesn't go to your jumper. The harness will plug in separately to the engine harness. The jumper is specifically for your ecu connectors to the emu ecu
I recently imported a 93 na non vvti auto supra, and I was shopping around for a gte engine but now that I know that I have a great engine and all I need to do is get a GE head my build will require less money 😁

I mainly wanna get arp studs for the rods (factory non vvti rods) and head studs thought about upgrading pistons but I don’t know if it’s necessary I’m mainly after reliability and about 400 whp I have a really low mile w58 out of a 98 Suprafor the transmission and the swap is going into a 1966 mustang so I don’t need a shit ton of power I just wanna make this car special cause it’s been in my family for a long time so it’s not Going to be a race car just a really fun street car
That's the same bottom end that's in my car during this video. You don't need to do anything other than studs and stuff you said
And just a stock gte head gasket?
@@dylantoney3322 yes
How'd you wire this into your s14? I seem wiring speciality harnesses for the gte but not ge. Did you splice the oem 2jzge harness into the s14???
The only thing you need in order to make the harness work in any car, is power for coils, injectors, ecu and grounds. You just need to find those and you can build a connector to attach the engine harness to the chassis. Or you can use switches
Can I still use the my stock vvti piston and go with aftermarket rods and GTE headgasket or would i have a problem with making safe power?
The stock rod is technically the weak point.
how does your setup cost wise compare to buying an engine from an engine importer?
Uh you'll save thousands
@@RabidJz could you give me a number of how much it cost you?
Between Doing a 1jz swap or just going Nat with the 2j vvti from is300 which would be more cost effective?
You'd be limited to like 350hp. Technically the 1jz swap would be better
@@RabidJz appreciate the advice. Its saving time
So if I buy GE Non Vvti pistons and rods brand new should I be good for 600-700whp safely?
Depends on your tuner. Even used they're good
The Rabid Rb did you just run a braided hose from your sandwich plate to the vvti ocv. I read that the vvti block banjo bolt has a check valve in it and now I’m thinking there’s more strategy to it than that. Any help would be awesome thanks bud!
Yup that's exactly what I did, An6
The Rabid Rb hell yeah that’s easy enough. Everyone on the forums were fabbing up lines to work with the oem banjo like it was super important. I just rebuilt a non vvti block and was going over everything today to make sure I’m not forgetting things and it freaked me out reading that lol. You happen to remember what pitch you got on the hose fittings. Hoping it’s not 2 different thread pitches I need on one hose.
Nope was a very simple process, just takes a few dollars!
Are you running drive by wire? What about the iac?? Awesome car
All deleted
What year gs 300 bottom ends
Can you please link me more details about the cross over pipe delete? I cant find a sheet metal intake for a GE head

Do you have to get a sandwich for the non vvti to run oil lines to a turbo?
That's what i did
How much boost Security
Do you think its worth building the vvti and putting a ar5 trans or just swapping it for a 1jz GTE with the r154 transmission (4k) . cost wise because I just want like 600hp to the crank
Swap to the 1jz, it'll handle your power
Can you use these same things and run a tune for 93?
Yeah, but you just can't run as much power
I have a question....will this setup pass a NY inspection if I do this setup to my 2003 gs300 na-T
I'm actually not sure. If the tube tune is done good idk why not
Jean Rodriguez
Negative you will not pass emissions been there done that. Ended up Moving to jersey and got 24 year old project car to avoid emissions, antique cars don’t need emissions testing.
@@RabidJz well inspection will have to read the ECU....does any cell light comes on with your setup ...someone told me that running a GE ECU with a standalone on a GTE swap can pass....just curious this is a big hassle for guys wanting to go boost living in NY with year to year inspection. Was wondering with your skill and knowledge maybe u know something that can be done to pass
@@4evamaccin damn man really
@Jean Rodriguez
No emissions on antique car, get yourself a 25 year old car
yo bro what turbo manifold are you running? also how much power were you putting down?
Cx in this video and at this time i was probably making 6-700
Dude you're a genius
Hope it helps you my dude
what years gs300 had the stronger bottom ends that you mentioned are good for higher HP?
Anything pre vvti
No hate at all super cool build wish I knew what you did thus why I’m watching the video. I was figuring it would be a cheaper option for me to boost my 98 gs300 but after what you have said why not just buy a gte? Mine being a 98 it is practically plug and play wiring etc. but for cost it seems I could get everything I needed for around 4K. I know a stock gte isn’t running 35lbs of boost but I was just wondering thank you.
Mine is a 240, not a gs300. So in that case, you're saving even more money.
The difference is, you're paying 3k for the engine just to pay 1k-2k swapping the manifold and adding a big turbo.
A stock gte will have no issues making the power I make, but neither would a stock non vvti ge. This video was the cheapest way to get to the goal. When you swap the block, you keep the head, INCLUDING, your harness. It remains pnp. All that extra money you'd spend on the gte you can spend on mods.
500 for a junkyard bottom
1-2k for turbo/mani setup
600 for injectors
Right there's is the cost of just a gte.
I didn't explain that, so good question
Also what transmission and file pump do you recommend, fuel pumps confuse the crap outta me, should I just go with three that all do about 300 lph
A 450 is good for quite a bit
1.5jz build with 1jzgte vvti bottom end and 2j ge vvti head worth the work or just 1j swap for an is300? And have you had any experience with Link ECU? Thank you so much for your insight!
Just 1jz swap. Unless you have manifolds for the 2jz head already. Link is good but I have no experience
That's called a 1.2 jz I believe
Hey man can you send me your write up if you dont mind? Picking up a gs300 this week would love to get some research started. Thanks in advance and great video
2jz noobie here
I have a toyota S-Runner and I'd like to do a 2jz swap. My local pull a part has about 5 ge engines in stock at $300 a piece...
I'd like about 5-600 Hp it's a weekender. I was planning on a ge with pistons rings rods bearings head gasket arp head studs but at that point I'll probably be 3k into it... should I just get a gte and not worry about it?
If you watch the whole video you'll know whether or not the ge you're looking at is worth it
@@RabidJz I've watched the whole thing
Are the engines non vvti or vvti
Just make sure the GE engines are non vvti
The older models are non vvti
If they’re non vvti, you don’t have to swap out rods or pistons, they’re plenty strong for what you’re aiming for.
That make sense?
Thanks fam. I look forward to building my car
How much was the engine build? With everything?
Prices vary cause you can get things pre-owned
Do you lock the cam of you go with the vvti head?
No, i use it as it's designed
@@RabidJz even if you go with a none vvti block? I thought that cam gear works on oil pressure from the block
Watch the entire video. I answer every question you'll have
question how safe is it to run this setup for 400-500whp
Totally safe on non vvti bottom end man
@@jonathonwilliams93 dude thank you so much! I am buying a second GE here for my IS300 soon that has non vvti bottom end parts and hoping to work on that to make 400-500
@@kaanavci19 yeah that'll be pretty reliable at that power. Even moreso if you can go e85
This will help so much thank you
Also just awesome video dude
what exhaust manifold an intake are you using can we get links?
I have a 1jz head so different from everyone else's
The Rabid Rb aww thanks buddy I guess I’ll just get the treadstone 2jzge manifold lol
The exhaust manifold is cx racing though, you can get one for your head!
@@RabidJz i wanna keep my distributor tho lol
Well that's fine too
wheres your writeup located? link?
I dont have a writeup
why not just swap a 2jz gte vvti from a cresta?
Because no one wants to spend 7k on a used unopened engine then needs to be opened and then all the extra crap on top of that to have a single turbo setup. Gte is overpriced and i can make more power out of my stock ge bottom
@@RabidJz ya the unknown engine condition is a scary thing. What do you think the price diff would be I’d say you got lucky and got a mint gte engine and swapped it vs going NA(T)?
Oh bro, the price difference is literally thousands. Ge-t is the best way to do this. Literally all my new videos back that up
Where’s the link to the turbo
Is your bottom end a stock ge non vvti? Or is there any forged parts in it?
Completely stock
@@RabidJz so just to confirm. Non vvti bottom end. Vvti head (vvti running on sandwich plate oil feed) and 35psi?!
That's nuts man. Stock vvti head/cams .. etc just headgasket and studs?
I have a built head with a stock non vvti bottom end. Subscribe and watch me try and take it to 45psi shy of 1xxxhp
I am now subscribed. What is your opinion of the emu black with pnp jumper. I have an s14 as well and am unsure how the chassis wiring works with pnp adapter
Chassis wiring doesn't go to your jumper. The harness will plug in separately to the engine harness. The jumper is specifically for your ecu connectors to the emu ecu
Good shit! Thanks man ! I gots a 1jz non vvti
Can I daily this
Do i need a cam sensor
You can use your distributor as the sensor. Or not. A cam sensor gives a more accurate and reliable. Crank/cam combo is the best
@@RabidJz ok cool i thought that would be another hold I’d have to tap into. Thanks for the info
How do you control the vvti function?
By using a standalone. I don't support the use of a safc
Broooooo this was soooo helpfull
Thanks im glad!
The Rabid Rb what trans are u running
R154
The Rabid Rb oh how much power can it fold compared to the cd009
Both trans are hit and miss. I'm making alot of power
Wait so you have a non vvti block and a vvti head?
Yes
The Rabid Rb the vvti works?? I was gonna pick up a non vvti bottom end for my is300
Vvti is on the head not the block
I recently imported a 93 na non vvti auto supra, and I was shopping around for a gte engine but now that I know that I have a great engine and all I need to do is get a GE head my build will require less money 😁
Good decisions!
Do you have a link to your write up bro?
I do not. Basically just my TH-cam channel
@@RabidJz No sweat, nice vid super helpful man. Forums are a b*tch lol
Yeah, they're nice to look back on, but they're like cancer. I'll be more happy to make videos per request!
At 201k miles not sure if I should even boost at this point
Higher mileage jz are better
is that a GE head or 1JZ head?
1jz
why is the motor crooked?
My mounts were crush formed from the last time it was removed, and I didn't turn them to match the way the engine sat. Fixed now
@@RabidJz ahh ok yeah i make solid mounts for jz/ schassis swaps so it drives me nuts to see the motors crooked with the cheap mounts. Send me a DM on instagram @Fabchild or @Humble_Engineering if your interested in doing a review I can send you a set.
I sure can! They're poly mounts, so not exactly cheap, just been used for awhile
Great video. Thanks for sharing 👍
Great video
I wanted to turbo my gs300. I’ve found out that it’s going to cost a lot more than I have and require a lot more skill than I have. Guess I’ll just have a boring gas hog as my daily. Rip the dreams for now. I also have realized that well built cars are even cooler than I thought
Don't give up
Another awesome video... new subscriber man.
Welcome to the family 👌🏻
How many o2 sensors do u recommend running? Or can I just run it off of the wide band?
Just one wideband sensor.
@@RabidJz thank you been trying to get this car running right just a matter of tuning it and figuring out how to run it off of map pressure on the greddy emu
35 pounds of boost!?
