Default 2JZ-GTE in IS300?

Has anyone here done it before? Does it work? Would it be more efficient just to get a turbo kit? I'm new to this forum, I just got my IS a couple days ago.

Yes it's been done before.
Yest it works
Is it efficient? I don't know - you can build up the GE with the money you would use for the swap.

Welcome to the forums.

Ask IS300GTE on is300.net about how much it would cost to swap the GE to a GTE

Hey - another supra owner. Check this thread out. Cool pics of the engine/tranny being shoved into the IS engine bay on page 2.

I saw this car in person, it was very nice. Looked like it should've come from the factory this way!

Cheers
