Hi guys, I'm contemplating about selling my Audi S4, to get a IS200 Sport with six speed manual, and a nice bike (+ gear).
The Euro IS200 has a nice 155hp straight six, but I was thinking about getting a 1JZ, so I used the search... but you guys don't seem to have the IS200, just the IS300?
I was hoping that there is someone here with some knowledge about swapping the responsive 1JZ in the IS200 body... or did I use the wrong key words maby?

Cheers

P.s.: before people are going to ask 'why not buy an IS300' and 'why not go with the 2JZ-GTE'; I'd rather not use the IS300 because it's more expensive to buy and own (higher taxes and insurance), and I prefer the 1JZ over the 2JZ because it's supposed to be more responsive, and with fuel being US$ 7,50 per US gallon... a little bit of mileage is appreciated

the IS200 uses a well tuned BEAMS 3S-GE, a 4cylinder motor with good JDM support. i would suggest tuning that since once turbo'd it responded to modifications very well.

try searching in Toyotanation and my.is as they tend to have more intl. variants

Sorry, but it's not the 4-cylinder type
We've got the 1G-FE VVT-i engine over here.

But, I'll take a look at toyotanation and my.is, thanks for the tip

my.is/ will have the info you are looking for.

ahh you didnt specify RS or AS200, and most is200's i've seen were the RS200

consider the 3S Beams swap? 210ish hp out of the box, and iirc it's lighter than the 1g

I really don't like fourbangers :P
Having owned several Honda's, had quite a few of them, even powerfull ones, I can honestly tell you that 4 cyl's grow boring.
