Get it while it's hot, my friend. We have all sorts of performance goodies lined up. I won't go into it now, but if you're into Lexus V8 performance, stand-by for heavy rolls.

Here's my question:

Why can't we combine the Lexus SC/GS luxury with tire shredding performance? There are multiple 1000 Horse 2jz's floating around in just about every major city... why's arent' the Lexus V8's at those levels?

This to me sounds like you have lots of plans around FI for the Lexus V8.


A couple of bolt on FI kits, forged internals etc.

Default 6spd gs

so... I've actually seen a 6spd gs, and it doesnt run... but i do know that the trans tunnel had to be extensively chopped and welded-for 1 . also the clutch pedal and master need to be right where the abs unit sits.
anyone have input on this ? pretty sure lots of guys will go for this once somebody is succesful

Like stated before, it's best that this swap be done by a qualified shop that specializes in Lexus', especially the GS. In that way, the swap is handled by someone who is fluent with the in's and out's of the car. What we're supplying is a huge stepping stone towards a 6 speed GS. We can't attest how to perform the swaps with respect to the average Lexus owner, nor do we advertise that we know the swap 100%. What we can do is to supply the [impossible to get] custom made parts for the swap in the adapter plate and the clutch/flywheel/throwout bearing. With those parts, much of the swap is a bolt on affair. Without them, it's next to impossible.

But again, if attempting this swap, please consult and use a qualified specializing in the Lexus line. Price wise, the GB is now over and the pricing is now back to retail.

Thanks guys,

Eric

Just a quick update on the adapter plates, they're getting a coat of zinc now. The one fellow who purchased an adapter plate will be getting his once MVP sends the address.

Thanks again,

Eric
