Thanks. yes, Im going to post the full swap info. here and cataloging as much as I can to help the next guy doing the swap. I have noticed that a lot of these swaps are done but not very well documented. Sharing is caring .
I have taken a bunch of photos for reference to post here as well so keep checking.
From my experience with the Supra swaps, this swap is a piece of cake. I'm just taking my sweet time and waiting for some parts or else this would hev been up and running. lol.
I may also change the car this swap will happen in. i will post more details later tonight

Dark Blue ( which I don't see a lot of)
Darker shade grey leather interior.....and a few addons for pretty good deal.

are you going to look into a manual setup?

Not at this time. I need to own the car for a little while and study it a bit to see what I can do to make the 5 speed swap easier for me. 2nd, there is the current cost to purchase the remote clutch, relocating the foot brake, sourcing a r154 tranny etc. I actually want this ride to be automatic for a little while since I use my car daily to and from work.

Thanks guys. Glad you guys are enjoying it as much as I am lol !

The engine has been installed already as of last Sunday. I accidentally broke the tranny cross member rubber mounts so I have to order those.

TIP !
For the 2jzgte setup, you will need to flip the Tranny corssmember around so the "2jzgte arrow" faces the front.

Also, be careful if you still have the ABS pump on the car. The engine clipped one of the lines and that started leaking lol. Pretty easy fix though. Short line to replace or I will just cut of the damaged part and flare it and fit it back on.

Anyways..here are some engine pictures :





















HYDROFAN mounted. I need a shroud - If anyone has one lying around, let me know... please

rush007

a 2jzgte crossmember is needed for the conversion? what do you mean in your tip to flip the cross member around? the stock gs 300 cross member?

Moe, why the choice to use the hydro fan and Aristo WP?

Rush.. yes, if you look at the aluminum cross brace under the tranny, one side says "L6" and one side says "Turbo" with arrows facing different directions. Stock GS300 piece, just flip it.
