2jz into mk3 (aristo or GS)

[RPSil13]

been trying to figure this out, can a 2jz from a gs be swapped into an mk3 and will the wiring be the same as the aristo, bc it seems everyone uses the jsm 2jzge (aristo), any input would be greatly appreciated, and i tried searching and couldnt figure this out so thats why i posted the thread,
thanks

Just the clarify - Are you looking to put in a Turbo Aristo motor (2jzgte) or a Non Turbo Aristo motor (2jzge)?

i want to swap in a 2jzge and then go na-t, but my question is can i use a 2jz from a gs300

Yes you can use the GS300's 2JZGE (providing that you use the correct sump of course) - In fact the pre VVTI Lexus 2JZGE seems to be the motor of choice for those who are going down the NA-T route.

I think you got mixed up somewhere along the line. To my knowledge nobody has used a N/A Aristo motor in a MKIII, it would be a completely pointless excise as there is already an abundance of affordable 2JZGEs. People only tend to go with Aristo motors when wanting a full blooded 2JZGTE - Aristos were available with exactly the same Twin Turbo engine found in the TT MKIV (apart from a few minor differences) in case you didn’t know.

So to reiterate, yes, you’ll be fine .

Best bet is to get one from the Lexus SC300 or the Supra NA motors. They will come with the correct sump to put in the Supra. MKIII>

so which wiring diagram would i use, thanks for clearing that up, only reason i wanted to use a 2jzge from a GS is b/c i can get one for cheap but if anyone knows where to get one from a sc300/supra that might make things easier and save some money by not having to change the oil pan

They always pop up on Craigslist. Also check with local engine importers.
On what diagrams to use, that is a chaoice you have to make. There are people running 2jzge with the MkIII turbo harness, some use stand alone ecus and some use the GE electronics.
Check out the multiple threads people have started and gone through with their swaps like these.

But you're GTE - Completely different ball game.
