Regarding your damaged engine, you could either go with a used jdm aristo 2jz-gte longblock (about $3k), or a new shortblock from 'yota (about $2400).

Regarding the bore #s you quoted, was that inches or Liters? I'd have to assume you're talking about liters, because a bore of 3.3" would be less than the oem bore size of 86mm=3.385827". If you are talking about liters, please note that an increase in bore alone can't take the 2jz-gte to 3.3L. Again, oem bore size is 86mm. 1st overbore is 86.5mm, and then max adviseable overbore 87mm. This is only a 1.2% increase, which means your new engine goes from 3L to 3.04L. I've heard that an 87.5mm or 88mm overbore is possible, but I've also heard of cracked cylinder walls, so personally I wouldn't recommend it. Even with an 88mm overbore (a 2.3% increase), you're still only looking at 3.07L. The only way to get to 3.3L or 3.4L is to install a stroker kit (but your profile doesn't mention stroker). Fwiw, I've never heard of 3.5L even with a stroker...

Lastly, I can't help but comment that you must have been either spraying a hellacious amount of no2 (a 200 shot???), or spraying under 3k rpms (or both) to break a 2jz-gte connecting rod...be sure to tell your tuner that he needs to to retard the timing based on the size of the shot (for a 200 shot, you should be retarded by at least six to eight degrees from a conservative boost-only curve), and to never spray under 3k rpms*. If you're spraying that 200 shot all at once, consider installing a progressive controller...it's harder on the solenoids, but much easier on the engine...

*Note that a very small shot (eg 50-shot), or a progressive shot can be safely sprayed at 2500-2800 rpms, if properly tuned, but the general rule for a straight shot in a 2jz-gte, with anything even in the ballpark of an oem timing curve, is no no2 under 3k.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
