Engine died. Sad day.

I just sold a JDM VVT engine for $1,100. It had 34,000kms and I had bore scoped and done a cylinder leakage test so I knew the engine was a gooder. Buyer didn't want the loom but I would have thrown that in for a small sum.

BUT no ECU/immobiliser/key. That's the problem with a VVT swap if you're sticking with the OEM ECU and loom. You need it all (loom, ECU, immobiliser and key with nb8b ignition lock receiver) to make it work.

I've read that you can do it with non VVT loom and ecu and an aftermarket VVT controller. Is this wrong?

Followed a long line of oil left by a car entering the Eastern Freeway. Council workers had put sand on it. It looked like the sump plug has fallen out as it was a long neat line.

i blew the inside of my oil pressure switch once. high rpm for long duration, and all the oil blew out that little 3mm hole. bearings welded themselves together.

It can be done, but if that is the way you are going you may as well go full standalone
