If it's the 2GS you are specifically talking about, I know a some members here, favor going the Japan 2JZ-GTE route, where you buy the factory twin turbo motor from a Japanese Aristo and drop it into a GS which originally came with the six cylinder. Magnificent, tough motor.

Or by reading. I recommend reading first, because the questions have usually already been asked and answered.

I know what a gte conversion is. I just never never what NA-T abbreviated for. But yea i know both will give me more power and speed however for enermous power the gte will be the better route however i dont want more power if ill only be getting 10 mpg. My question is, for a daily driver , is a NA-T a good choice? How much mpg do u NA-T drivers get?
Before you guys tell me to buy a civic or camry , that is out of the question. I like to drive comfortably yet fast as well on some occations thats why i want to hook up my gs300.

Theres a benefit with going in the direction of a NA-T vs an already turboed engine. In the case of the GE vs the GTE, the GE has higher compression (I believe its 10:1) while the GTE is lower (I believe at 8.5:1). With higher compression, less boost is needed for the same about of power, as long as you control the knock retard related to high compression boost applications. And of course given that you still did some engine work to the old engine to handle any boost at all. I wouldnt do an NA-T on the 2GS unless you got lucky and found a low mileage GS to work with.

my 2 cents:
there are two kinds of people who heavily modify their lexus:
1. people with lots of money to play with
2. people who know a great deal about cars
if you are one of these people, great, go for it, we all want to see the results in your build thread.
if you are not one of these, do yourself a favor, BECOME one of these before you attempt to turn a used, heavy, luxury car into a fast car

I did not know what that meant until now. I do not think I ever even saw it before.
To me, it is a stupid phrase. Close to an oxymoron.
Not as bad as unretouched, but still.
That said, a google should have been made.
Anyway, with the different compression, is that solely the ECU or are the rods longer or some ****? Is that valve open timing?
