Are you still running the low performance n/a braking system (including the inferior n/a ABS and puny 2-piston calipers)?

To swap out the engine, you'll need a new harness (as Mk3FirstCar-Mike said), as well as a TT ecu, an ignitor, and a resistor pack. If your 2jz-gte comes from an Aristo, you'll need to swap the oil pans.

Also, if you're going to swap the engine, the transmission and differential will become the weak points.

By the time you've swapped all of that out, it (really!) would have been cheaper to just get a TT in the first place. Just mho*. (*based on years of experience with the Mkiv Supra)


Again, the N/A Mkiv is pretty much just for show, and performance options are rather limited. Here's some more info on that topic:

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.
