Nice rides and awesome pictures. I thought of getting a black paint but it would hard to maintain. So I thought of getting dark red, but now I'm having second thoughts.

It is hard to find 2jzgte engines here locally (Hawaii). And if there are, it is really expensive. I guess I will be looking at Cali then. I think with the shipping, it will probably match for what I will find here.
Do you know any sites or contacts in Cali by any chance?
Thank you for the info UCF3.

Help me out here please, i was looking on ebay and somebody post 2jzgte and stated it was a twin turbo.
I thought 2jzgte = single and 2jzgtte = twin turbo. right?

Right. I was in class today and remembered who Phil was lol.
Nah, I haven't talk to the guy but I'm hoping to get a hold of him.

I currently have a stock auto 4sp trans. I want to get a 5 sp manual tho. As for the labor, I will be doing it with the help from this site: http://www.ultimatelexustt.com/ and assistant from my friend whom I bought the lexus from.
You sound right about the that. I might as well get a swap instead of fixing the head, and adding a turbo kit will cost me more . So the swap will gain me more hp than just adding a turbo and modify internals? I heard somewhere that 2jzgte is stronger than 2jzgtte, how is that possible?

How much hp you pump out that 1jz? You have a stock exhaust?
Thanks

Hi. I looked and read around and I got a little confuse to the load of info so I figure why not just ask. Sorry if I'm asking a question already answered somewhere in this forum.
I got a 94 SC300 2jzge all stock except flow master exhaust. 160k mi with a blown head gasket and it won't start probably due to the starter.
My goal is to get a reliable car with power when it is needed (300 - 500hp).
Questions:
1. Is it worth to do a full engine swap (2jzgte or 2jzgtte)?
2. What year engine should I swap at the cheapest?
3. Is it cheaper to swap only the head and modify the internals and add a turbo kit?
4. What supra year engine head would best fit if I go that way?
Thank you for your time.

Removing the starter to me seems to be a lot of work. I got this manual off ebay and it shows it step by step. I guess I will go ahead with removing it.
Thanks for your reply Brian :D

Hi, this is my first post. I got a 94 SC 300, 2jzge 24valve. My problem is that my car won't start. I am assuming it must be the starter. I haven't used my car for 6 months now and since I'm back, I would love to ride it again. I got a brand new battery from NAPA. I ensured the connectors to the battery is well connected. When I turned on the ignition, it made a grinding sound. When I tried it the second time, nothing happened. After several trys, i saw some smoke coming off the negative side of the battery wiring.
So what I'm asking for is if it is a good idea to go ahead and try to change the starter.
Thank you for reading.
