Hey guys i just got my first, 1st gen GS a few days ago. Id like to gain a little more info on converting the GS to an Aristo, but i havent been able to find specifics. If anyone could post a link where i could get some more knowledge on this subject id really appreciate it. Thanx

 

Mostly the conversions people have are visual. Toyota emblems, Aristo back panel, a different front bumper. Also an Aristo has a turbo engine (2jzgte), which can be swapped, or you can take a toyota supra engine 2jzgtte and swapp that, but you'll neet to do some mods to the turbo to make it fit. Also you can install a 1jzgte engine which is the one in a toyota chaser I believe. Of course it will never be exacly like an aristo because aristos are right side drivers!

The best way to get an aristo is to just research on importing one!

 

Welcome to the forum.Not much you can do to make it look like an Aristo.Just body parts.

 

Alright thanks for the help. One more thing if you dont mind though. Which do you reccomend more an aftermarket turbo setup on the 2JZ-GE or swapping for a 2JZ-GTE? Keeping in mind expenses. Thanks again this is still kinda new to me.

 

There are several threads about turbo swaps, turbo kits, and turbo swap vs turbo kits already. Try a search.

 

Single turbo upgrade or 1jzgte swap is your best bet for power. The 2jzgte is hard to get in without some major work. Or you can supercharge the car and have reliability as well.

 

Aight thanks let me rack you for one more thing plz. My engine (2JZ-GE) has 181,000 miles is it worth throwing all that money into it or do you think a turbo set up will blow the engine? aprreciate it
