2JZ-GTE ENGINE BUYER'S GUIDE - ALL THE ISSUES AND MUST KNOWS

I am your crazy car owner who keeps his cars in great condition. It is almost a hobby to make sure all my maintenance is up to date. So I have gathered some data along the way while maintaining my 1994 Toyota Supra Turbo and I share what to look for when looking for one of these engines. We already did a Toyota Supra buyer's guide video but I wanted to spend some more time on the engine itself.

I paid $900 for valve stems, water pump, timing belt, front main seal, cam seals back in 2008 by a Toyota master mechanic who’s owned multiple high HP MKIV Supra’s. Obviously it’s way more expensive now. Same mechanic is doing my full engine build next month due to ridiculous amount of white smoke and of having over 200k miles. Going single. Ive had the car since 2006, I’m due! 🤣

More guides! None of this applies to me, so I probably won't remember it, but thanks for sharing these bits of info. :)

I. Having g blue smoke.when I press accelerator it smokes blue, at idle.so I guess my stem seals are gone

I was considering buying a GE and turning it into an NA-T build with a conversion to full electronic ignition and such to swap into a vintage Mustang. Should I bother to fully rebuild the engine regardless of miles before i get the turbo on (probably will use a single with an aftermarket ECU)?

Where is that vacuum hose restrictor exactly?
