Yes you could manage to do it cheaper with more available engines but the OP was specific to the 2jz. You could also do the FA20 build cheaper if you just buy the parts and build it yourself instead of buying a pre built engine. Overall the built FI is going to cost far less than a swap. There are maybe 10 successfully completed swaps documented on this forum compared to the thousands of FI cars. The biggest reason for that is cost.

I would have given you $3,001 just so I don't have to clean mine this summer! So much sand. So, so, so much sand.

That was the offer I've gotten for mine. I have less than 2,100 miles on my 2018 model year. I, too, am looking into swapping but for an LS (maybe LS3). I'm not expecting much from mine either.

I did my swap and have all functions working except for cruise for roughly 11k, and still haven't been able to sell my engine and trans for 2k obo with 83k miles. Its possible to do it on the cheaper side; cheaper side being 7-8k.

I think, you will waste the money and end up with a mess that will go directly to junk. Leave the car alone. You are not up for it yet. |
