Maan I bought 2003 Lexus IS300 SportCross A/T with 284500KM on it so I bought it with same reason to build it and so far you are the only one ONLY ONE so detailed and perfect on all the explanations like for dummies, I’m diploma engineer (IT&Automation) and when I was watching the rest of 2JZ-GE NA-T videos here in YT I was struggling to understand how they do it, your videos are not gold, they are platinum, God bless you because anyone who want to be on a budget will be able to even donate to you after they successfully finish their IS300 build on a budget in sign of appreciation of your head work man at least this is what I’m gonna do after I fully build mine because of your videos man !!! HUGE RESPECT !!! And this video is only having 896 views yet ??? WTF 🤯🤯🤣🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️👀 your videos will make Rad Dan(I love his masterpiece work) and Papadakis racing (also huge respect) to envy a bit 😂 … I have only one dummy question because I’m not understanding the interference and non interference engine difference, I understand that the IS300 engine is interference engine and if you brake the timing belt you will bend a valve and it could go even worse, but my dummy question is what makes the 2JZ-GTE VVTi and non VVTi engines non interference ? Is it only the GTE head ? I’m asking because if you follow simple logic, there IS300 block is exactly the same as GTE block, so theoretically if you put the GTE head to the GE block aren’t you converting exactly the GE interference engine to an GTE non interference engine, cause Manley pistons rods and crankshaft in the IS300 2JZ-GE are also fitting perfectly in the GTE block right ? So when you mount the GTE head on the GE block are you gonna get non interference engine as an end result, I need confirmation to know in advance to order GTE head too ;)

Thanks for the break down on the ge vs gte. I have a 2005 gs300 and I'm looking to make around 325ish hp as just a nice driving street car/daily so knowing more about these engines helps alot

[mardicas]

Good job! Will save me a lot of time once I get to NA-Ting my IS300.

Great vid, thanks for posting. One question, do they use the identical oil filter?

[JeiceNismo]

Great vid man. 👌
I was wondering if you know the difference between the GE non-vvti and the GE vvti blocks. I'm planning on building a GE-T or NA-T with my 2 GE's I have but get the best option and of course diz delete. Wondering if I delete my vvti on that head, can I use the oil feed from the vvti to feed my turbo? Thx man.

Doing a 2jz-ge vvti build but just bolting on the GTE turbos and other things to it, was a very informative video! power steering pump reservoir has to be relocated? If so did you use a kit? I have a 02 GS300 but should be the same thing

[shootingstarstv]

can you use 2jz vvti cams on 2jz ge vvti and if not what do you have to do to make it work ?

[carlbrooks]

Is it normal for these engines to consume up to a quart of oil every 1200 miles? I have the 2jzge.

Great subject but lighting sucks, can not see a thing when you point at them.
