flm, my engine is from 95 US supra twinturbo. It would be better if you get Aristo engine because the location of the oil pan is different from Aristo and the supra. if you get a supra engine, you'll have to look for aristo oil pan and things that goes around it like I did. by the way, is your GS 1st gen or 2nd gen? if you have first gen, go with non-vvti, if you have 2nd gen go with vvti like v300.

well, I went with supra tranny. if you are going with supra tranny, the driveshaft has to be modified. it would be better if you find aristo tranny so you don't have to modify anything.

well the block and the head will drop right in but the stock twin turbo will not fit because of the firewall. in order to make it work, you'll have to get single turbo upgrade or modify the stock twin turbo manifold. also if you go with turbo upgrade, you'll have to get the intercooler, upgraded ecu, etc, etc, etc.

Richie, sorry, this is the only picture I have. this is from last november when the shop that I took it to was still working on it. but I would not recommend this shop at all, they screwed up my car and v300's car.

yes, because japanese right hand drive aristo's firewall comes out on left side where the intake manifold and left hand drive GS comes out on right side by the exhaust manifold. it sticks out because heater core is right behind the firewall. you can try to push it in but at same time you might break the heater core unless you take the heater core out. if you do take it out, the heater will not work after that. also if you try to put the stock twin, I just remembered that it will also hit the ABS pump located right under the airfilter and it is really hard to relocate the ABS pump. the easiest but costly way to do is just go with single turbo upgrade. this way it will clear from the firewall and the ABS pump.

oh yeah, and the harness might not work because its designed for the Japanese RIGHT hand drive where the ecu is in left side and US LEFT hand GS is located in right side. if you want to use the Aristo harness, you'll have to do some modification.
