You do want to get one without VVTI to make things simpler. I think that would make it from a 1996 and below. and you will need an ECU and a harness to make it work

You need to do some more homework on the swap, and 2jz in general, so you dont get ripped off when purchasing an engine, or when you start getting work done in general for the swap. I have been in the process of building my s14 with a 2jz for a year now. I bought a bare 2jz engine block, found a head, pistons/rods, all sensors, wiring harness, ecu, r154 trans, etc. all individually to save myself the money of buying a complete swap, which I would be tearing down to rebuild in order to reach my power goals anyway. Go onto www.myjzswap.com (http://www.myjzswap.com) (lots of good info on this swap) Sean can help you out to the point where you just buy an engine swap, send him your wiring harness, pay him 600.00 bucks, and get back a completely plug and play harness for your swap. Myjzswap.com also offers everything needed to make the swap into your 240 a complete bolt-in affair, and lastly, they offer all the parts recommended to replace after purchasing a used jdm engine, to keep it reliable. I am endless on there. feel free to pm me with any questions you may have in the future, I have a good amount of experience with building the 2jz, and 240s.

Yes non vvti is much easier to work with for multiple reasons. One wiring is easier without vvti, and second which is a huge concern, TUNING the vvti setup is a pain, and power levels beyond 500hp are extremely expensive with vvti. VVTI offers better throttle responce, but its honestly not worth the hassle.

If you need help with the build/locating parts for the swap let me know, I have a machine/fabrication shop in Phila, PA, and this is my forte.

for a 100% stock 95 5speed, what do you think the budget for a complete 2jz swap should be? I'll appreciate the help

around 5-6k depending on what parts you use and what maintenance you do to the engine.. water pump.. timing belt.. head gasket.. ect you get the point
