since the ls400 car already has a 1uzfe and so does the sc400...
does this mean that a 2jz can be mounted in an ls400?
or is this gonna be an *** load of work?
what all would have to be done? besides wiring.

 

*** load of work, and wiring, and custom driveshaft for the rear diff, and custom trans mount, and if you want a manual, even more work for that since the LS has no bolt-on manual trans parts, oh, and the fact that the LS and SC mounts are very different.

now, there is the possibility of using some kind of LS/GS/SC mount combo/hybrid, but i have yet to see it done/documented.

 

More work than it's worth.... Just buy a GS if you want the 2JZ....

or just do it big with that http://www.lextreme.com/Lexus-Supra-...ap-mounts.html

 

Anything can be done with enough time and money, but this will be a custom fabrication nightmare. If you want boost, just turbo the 1UZ, or better yet, twin turbo that bad boy. It'll still be a lot of work, but not as much as a 2J swap!!

 

I believe someon on this forum from the phillipines or thaland had one done and all he did was use the motor mounts form thegs2jz and swapped them over.

There are some JDM bippu celsiors with 2JZs chillin in the bay. Have to be seen to believe. Check out youtube.

 

i've talked to him in the past (before he basically left) and he didn't just bolt on 2GS mounts, but rather used trial and error with several different mounts from a couple different cars.

 

sorry i was thinking of zip's post in that thread

" My El-Cheapo approach in case anyone is interested.
Swapped a 2JZ-GTE and auto trans. from a JZS147 Aristo into a 1993 LS400. Switch original aluminum engine mount brackets from left to right and right to left.This gets them pretty darn close to where they need to be(Fore/Aft). Utilised 2005 LS430 engine mounts (rubber mount). These mounts work well because the bottom stud and upper stud are off-set. They can be rotated like an eccentric to get you left/right alignment. Use the original LS400 trans mount bolted to the 2JZ's transmission. Use the LS400 output/ tailshaft flange on 2JZ transmission... this allows for use of the factory LS400 driveshaft without any modification. The engine sits a little high in the compartment, but hood still closes with only the slightest touching of the throttle body to the hood insulation.
Was actually able to use Aristo fuel line and power steering pressure hose.
Radiator is original LS400. Upper and lower radiator hoses were cut and joined to get proper fitment although upper hose fits tightly against throttle body i/c piping. Low profile Flex-a-lite dual electric cooling fans were mated to the factory fan wiring. Yes, you still need to purchase a Supra water pump and do the wire harness extension (which was prolly the most tedious part of this conversion )
I also went with a 4:10 final drive. Pulled the gears from an '07 IS350(no they don't come LSD)and tossed them into the original case...
If anyone else wants to do this conversion, I am willing to provide any info you may need. "

 

hahahaha, its gonna be like 5 different lexus into one.

 

so this was actually done or is this theory, the post was a little hard to understand.

 

i'm not one hundred percent sure but a 93 ls300 t is in his sig.

Single Turbo 62-1 Aristo JZS161
'02 SC430
'93 LS300T 60-1 tuning stage
'93 RX7 1JZ Swap current project

But his method does seem to make sense.

 

from wat i have read from his post, it really seems like its doable. if you are willing to put some time and work into it.

 

O.P check out the moderator in the electronic area "Retrodrive". He has a 600+ h.p 2jzgte singe turbo swap in his LS. hope this helps.
