New guy quick question
I just was debating on buying a lexus and comparing 2nd gen vs 3rd gen... I like the 3rd gen body wise but I like 2nd gens drive train... so does a 2jz swap into the 3rd gen easily? or has it been done? or what I assume is impossible..
thanks for the simple answer of yes or no its not possible haha

1: HP stock is close to 350 and you can easily push that engine to 500-700hp reliably. There are street driven 1000-1500hp 2jz on the roads.
2: Many aftermarket goodies that are very cheap compared to tuning GS motor.
3: That engine is bullet proof very strong and reliable
4: engine as a whole is pretty cheap
5: that engine is super easy to wire up
The drivetrain should be able to bolt up or custom a housing to the stock transmission. But the fun happens with a stick shift.

this is something I would love to do but from everyone I've spoken with the cost was prohibitively high.

Running automatic or manual is easy with a 2jz.
For transmissions you have many options, the most popular is the W58 handles up to 400hp (older supra) then R154 800hp (newer supra) then you have the V160 1500hp (latest supra 6spd) with strength you get increased prices.
All it takes to get the 2jz started wiring wise is 4 simple wires, this is why its great with many engine swappers and most popular swap.
To make it manual from auto youll need to source a clutch lever and master from an aftermarket like wilwood or maybe even an IS300. You may need the brake pedal aswell.
