GS500, 1GZ-FE swap GZS160
I'm starting this thread to showcase my current project. My 2003 GS300 which had already been swapped with a 2JZ-GTE is going under the knife again to receive one of Toyota's rarest engines. This project has been going on for a few years already and of course progress is slow. I am full time student so all the work I do is in my spare time. I've already posted a few photos on my profile and will begin to post here as well.

Thats a sick project. 1gz-fe has been used in the toyota century from 97 on. according to wiki top secret used a tuned 1gz-fe for a supra with 950 hp.
I'm really wondering how you will fit the radiator and if there will be any clearance.

The 1GZ wasn't designed to make power, it was designed to smoothly power a luxury barge. With that said, with the right parts it should be able to make power. After all it is a 5 liter DOHC V12 with VVTi; with new free flowing intake and exhaust manifolds, along with the custom ecu and tune. I would expect 430-480hp at the crank. Part of the goal is to see what are the capabilities of the stock engine.
