Hi guys,
for those of you have done this, here is a question if you can help.
INstalling an Aristo motor set in a 1995 GS300, apart from extending the harness, does one need to re-pin any of the plugs?
I have more experience with the Supra with JZ swaps and eventhough the JZA70 supras came with a 1jz, we still had to repin a few of the wires.
Is that the case with an Aristo swap in a GS300? or is it more plug and play after extending?
Yeah I haven't gotten that far yet. I disassembled the dash to solder the jumper points but I didn't see them on our cluster like on the SC. I then threw in the JDM tach into my US cluster but it was off 700 rpms because of how the numbers are printed differently from JDm to US. So I was going to throw back in my US and get the tach adapter but my son decided it was cool looking and destroyed it. He's 2. So when I get my hands on a new US tach I'll pick up the adapter and get it to work. I have the full schematics for the combimeter so figuring out the wire shouldn't be too hard. BTW the adapter is MSD 8920.
is their a way to adjust the 700 rpm difference on the jdm cluster??? with like a resister or something?
Awesome thread. Great information.
One question- what if I wanted to do a manual transmission? How hard would that be, and which would I go with? Thanks for the great write ups guys.

Do a search for "manual transmission" or "manual swap" there should be a few threads that pop up.
i have a 93 gs300 with an chaser 1jz vvti and auto trans. the trans has no place for a speed sensor so how do i get my stock speedo to work also will the tack work if i do the jumper as described before. also looking to upgrade the turbo and exhaust manifold any suggestions
The chaser trans I think is different. But you could either reuse your old gs300 output housing on the tranny or use an aristo trans. Does the bellhousing say "J3" on it?

have not made it under the car to check for a j3 on it but i did caompare the tail housings of the stock trans and my chaswer trans and they are very different maybe if i swaped over the tail shaft and the housing but i dont want to do that because my trans works good
Well, i'll be getting mine pretty soon... my GE motor started spewing white smoke after 140K... seems strange since I have done all the mantenance myself (im a toyota certified tech)... weird... but anyways, i'll join soon enough. I will put a how to pic by pic article; we need that.
