189?...You should be ok for a while longer, but if something does happen, you can always pick up a 2jz-gte (Supra) engine and swap it out with yours. Hey, if you gotta pull yours out already, might as well make the best out of it.

Default new engine

Swapping for a 2jz Supra Twin Turbo engine is the way to go. If fits right in the bay with no physical modifications. See mine at: www.fly-hawaii.com/lexustt
