VVT-i motorsets are more plug and play, LESS wiring and more power. BEFORE, there wasn’t enough aftermarket support for CAMs etc but now BC does make VVT-i cams and people have learned more about the VVT-i motors. Here’s a link explaining the differences and the work that’s involved: > **[non-VVTi 2JZ-GTE swap in 2nd-gen GS300? - ClubLexus - Lexus Forum Discussion](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/performance/266113-non-vvti-2jz-gte-swap-in-2nd-gen-gs300.html)** > > Performance - non-VVTi 2JZ-GTE swap in 2nd-gen GS300? - Hey guys. Seems like it is near impossible to have a legal swap of VVTi 2JZ-GTE from an Aristo V300 into a 98+ GS300. Even if the engine is newer, it is never offered here in the US after 1998.... (look at the post date of 07’, now its almost 2010) A lot more info on VVT-i motors now. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/2jzgte-in-gs300-know-anyone-whos-done-it/130194)._
