Ummm...there's a "Other Engine Tech" section (where this is now). Last I checked the Mk III never came with a 2JZ motor.
Please pay attention where you post.

its not too hard to upgrade correct? diff injectors,cams, impedance on the injectors, and ceramic compressor wheels on the turbo. about a good $1000 in upgrade from jdm to us spec.

Oh okay. And good luck. I was hoping you weren't just some guy who thought the motor would just drop right in.

ive read that my year the engine will drop in besides the beating of the firewall 1" to 1 1/2" or whatever the spec is? with my 7m brackets and my driftmotion.com engine mounts.

US spec upgrades can be had for less.. I paid ~ 200 for my turbos 50 for the cams and 75 for the injectors.
