Default GS 350 swap, I Know, I know, Please read

Ok I am looking for straight facts here but I guarantee someone is going to pop in and say you should just buy the gs 350 because it would be easier. Heres where im at I bought 2 wrecked 2015 gs 350 and after finishing the job I am left with a complete swap. I have a whole car meaning engine, ecu, trans, all modules, etc. I want to Know if this would bolt directly into a 2015 is250 ? Like I said I am looking for facts only. Please chime in if you have any useful information.

It's not a direct bolt in. I tried it. You need to mod a few things.

Its not a direct bolt in however it can be done with some modification. If you have a complete car with engine transmission ecu, and everything, you can very well make it work. How... well looks like you should get started to figure that out.

Are you sure it's a 2015 ISF? I thought the last year was 2014

2014 was the last year for the IS-F. This entire thread is ridiculous.

Learn some grammar and make your posts a little less vague if you want serious help. Since you're such a man, get off your *** and go do the swap like the rest of us have done here. There is no magic wand or fairy that comes to your rescue. You go and you do it. Nobody is going to help you here I promise you.

Now that we confirmed that is a GS and not an IS-F then it should be an easier swap. The 2gr and 4gr engines structurally are the same, they use the same mounting points and everything. If you have a complete car, I would say make sure that you swap over everything and theoretically, it should work
