Aristo swap
Can anyone help me on this.
I currently own a 02 gs300 sport design with 120k miles, I'm up to date with all my services, the car is immaculate.
I added: 20" vossen wheels front 245 and rear 285
Eibach springs, to my Mark Levinson system I added a 12"
JL audio sub and all stock motor.
Lately I've been thinking about doing a Aristo 2JZ-GTE VVTi TWIN Turbocharge swap but I'm worried because it my everyday driven car and the car is in all the best shape.
I just don't want to cause a lot of mechanical problem due to the swap.
My question is if I was to do the swap what would I need? Or is it best to just leave my car stock and buy another gs/sc to do it with.

I will tell you before all the older guys come in here and bark at you. I would search, search, search. I searched for a few days and found everything I needed for it, then I had to scrap it for next year since I just won't have the time or money to do it. But yes, search for the all parts you need and get a standalone ecu, no piggy back (bad tune) for our car.

I'm an older guy.. woof woof! lol...
Since my early 20's, I've always had one reliable daily driver, and one (or more) 'toy' car. I've learned that when you mess with daily driver, you can be left without a car for a long time, and if that's okay with you, then go for the swap. But it sucks being left without a car, so.... yeah, I'm going to recommend getting a DD, whether it's another GS or something cheaper... If I was in Florida, no question, my DD would be a convertible. (S2000 comes to mind...)

Got to agree with the old guys lol. I have always had 2 cars since I was 18. One toy car and one that pays the bils. Can always buy a daily. Then when u work all the bugs out of your swap sale the daily. I'm telling you from experience you need another car. Could get a small older Tacoma or a Chevrolet s10 for cheap. Gl
