Ken Gushi has engine swapped his IS300 with 1JZ VVTi! He has fabricated his own hard-piping with 1JZ ECU replacement from LINK.
Once he got the engine fully installed, he found out that the factory coil packs and igniter that came with the engine were very warn out. Older engines do tend to have bad sealing and weak connections, that can cause misfiring and weak sparks.
Ken has been using our IP Power Coils on all his vehicles like, Formula Drift Competition GReddy Toyota 86 and his old SR20 swapped Toyota Corolla Trueno AE86.
You may know him from Formula Drift and the driver of the GReddy Racing's 2JZ powered Toyota 86, but he also has a fun car for his daily machine.

I recently completed my 1J swap into my 2002 IS300. My purpose was to build a car that I can drive to and from the track, after a long day of drifting, WITH working AC. The swap was straight forward but it can be hard to find solid info. So I'm hoping this video can shed some light.
Which 1j? Which engine mounts? Engine harness? brackets? how to Intercooler? etc. Here is the way I did it. The right way.
