I wish I knew a shop that would do this for a mk3 Supra NA. My brother is dying to find someplace that will do an LSX engine/trans (auto) swap in his 89 Supra. The turbo would just be icing on the cake. We were already considering the 5.3 since it's cheaper than the LS1/2 and any v8 would make that car a great cruiser. The 4.8 never occurred to me.
Plan B would be a 1UZ since they're even cheaper, and other than the physical mounting the rest would be pretty simple to do, even if it's "only" 250 hp. A 1jz/2jz is not an option; he's already had a Mk4 Supra so this one needs to be different.

I'm using a custom truck harness, built myself. E38 ECU (58x crank reluctor) and T42 trans controller. Tuned with EFILive. I started off running a truck pan, it fits great but hangs too low. I am swapping to a H3 pan. Right now I have the motor out - doing a cam swap, dual springs, LS9 head gaskets, head studs, and a few more mods.... The reason I pulled the motor was to paint the engine bay, install AC, and clean up some misc stuff that I rushed.
Once its all back together I just need to finish up hooking the cluster up. I always monitor with EFILive so I never got around to the gauges (other than the tach).
Hope that helps, let me know if you have any other questions!
Thanks,
David
