So I have a opportunity to pick up a 1JZ-GTE head for a pretty low price to make a 1.5J as I have a 2jz-gte, but for some reason the guy wants to keep the cam shafts cause he thinks there worth as much as head itself (unless they are, its the stock cam shafts).
Anyways just wondering can I use my current 2JZ-GE cam shaft in the 1JZ-GTE head?

You need a 1J mid and lower sump, oil pump and crank angle sensor, oil pressure adaptor for the turbo, 1J MLS head gasket, water pump, longer water neck and assorted bits like 2J timing belt. Also need a 1J loom with igniter, coilpacks, map sensor, TPS and ECU. Also need 1J fuel rail, and intake manifold.
You can't use 2JZ-GE cams in a 1JZ-GTE.
There's a guide on this forum in the builds section for other necessary bits.
Compression isn't a problem for a decent turbo setup with a good tune.
Piggyback is a bonus for longevity. Id recommend 440cc injectors from a 2JZ-GTE if you stick to the OEM ECU.
