Twan’s GTE Single Turbo Swap!!
Whats going on guys, been on the forum a few times now and finally decided it’s time to join! First time Lexus owner, but not new to the Toyota family I own a 96 T100 4x4 5 speed. I picked up my 2000 Gs300 not running from a private tow company for $700 bucks. The motor was seized and I thought to myself this is the perfect time to build my first turbo car. So I did some research and I was able to find a local JDM engine shop and picked up my GTE swap for $1800 which included motor/trans and ecu. My original plan was to just refresh the motor with new gaskets/water pump and standard maintenance parts. Well let’s just say I ended up tearing down the entire block and replacing everything!! I will list all mods and prices so far.

Nice build. I suggest you order that Tweaked wiring harness ASAP if you're looking to get this running soon. I just received my Tweaked harness last week for my GS300 build and I ordered it on Aug. 17. Work of art, but it's going to take a minute to receive. No complaints, just want to give you a heads up on a time frame. Good luck on your build! About to start my USDM TT swap. Need to pass emissions in GA, hence all USDM parts.

I don't want to hijack this thread but JasGS350 PLEASE start a build thread and post some detailed pictures and info about your build. I'm really interested in doing the same thing to my car. I wish I was in GA and had gerrb to help me out. That guy is a legend with the 2JZ engines

Update on the build🙌🏾 I placed my order for my engine harness last Thursday , so hopefully I will have it before Christmas. I purchased a intercooler kit, wastegate and bov from a local gs owner. Supra TT brake conversion is done and installed. I’m planning to have the motor dropped in by end of the year. |
I see what is an impressive parts list. However the one critical piece that seems toe be missing is the billet tensioner. I would not risk that build on a $200 part
