Have you ruled-out the NA-T route? If so, why? You can do a valve body upgrade on the GSs auto tranny and add, of course, a tranny cooler which might be easier depending on what your goals are. It should handle 350hp without modification according to other sources.

Default You can do anything to your car...

... as long as you have enough money, of course.

Lightbulb here's some light reading for you looney

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...threadid=25564

Has some details about NA-T conversion and also note that there is a link to someone selling a book on how to install a supra TT motor. It's all for the SC, but better than nothing.

There are hundreds of threads just like it on CL and supraforums but unfortunately none in the 1st gen GS forum.
