hey everyone, I'm new here just recently purchased a 98gs4 this past feb. So far i'm loving the car. Good power and nice interior. anyways on to the topic...
i know bluelex and another on this board have the monster v6tt swapped, do you guys and others wanna share pics?

 

You don't think you should have maybe gone with the GS3?? Or are you just curious to see pictures?

orignally, i wanted the gs to be a cruiser, hence the v8. but now i feel like i need the speed again. so i dont know...maybe, maybe not. but yes i do wanna see pics either way

 

Welcome. I searched and found this

There are a hand full of guys that have done the actual engine swap some have already gone to Single on this motor. here are the ones I know of...

theres also Jay's monster but I couldn't find pics and also Burtons clean beast but also couldn't find pics for his either, mayb some else can find them or they will post em.

 

hey thanks for the pics guys. makes me think of the possibilities...

 

Off topic...what front bumper is on the orange GS?

 

Explosion....

 

I really wanted to give the others that have done the swap respect so I looked a little harder today for pics of their set ups and found Jay's beast..

Jay-



burton-(only pics I could find man)

 

nice find Adrian .... .
was jay's auto or man.???

 

Jay's is auto. the only one that is 6spd is gs3power's

 

Why to go on all of the swaps guys.

I am still heavily contemplating the 2jz swap for the GS4 i am about to trade for. But I think I am actually going to pick up a 92-97 SC and build that to be my speedster and keep my GS as the cruiser.

What would you guys do, mod the GS for a cruising show car (just an intake /w chip, exhaust, TC, LSD for performance upgrades, then of course paint, system, kit, and rims, ect.), and have the SC300 fully built for the street. Or make the GS a total package… show and go?

 

I would 1st check what goes into swapping this motor into a gs4 as opposed to a gs3. I have spoke with a few guys that have thought about this for their gs4 and while speaking to swap techs and shops about it it seems like a harder more complicated job to pull off in a gs4. might be better off trading or selling the gs4 for a gs3 and than doing the swap, actually I know it would be easier. I wanted the total package for my GS3 all show with enough go to be respected, maybe not the fastest but respected. Its still a work in progress with more HP coming in the immediate future. I have ridden in my buddies Al's car who has all the toys you can get on a gs4 and let me tell you it moves like a bat out of hell. Very Very respectable power and low end TQ. He went with option B loading his GS4 with all the bolt on goodies possible and is building a 1jz single turbo monster Toyota supra mk3 for his power race car. In about a year or so when I finish the gs3 project I want to start a race/ track car project choosing option B aswell and getting an old SC3 and doing something similar with a 1JZ swap. That or a Nisan 240. Just for fun and track/street racing.

 

Oh yeah, good point Blue, I didn’t give the difficulty of going from the V8 to a 6 much thought. And plus the HP to weight ratio would be more desirable with a lighter car (the older SC)… ha, and definitely a 240sx.

 

i've seen both gs3tt swapped and gs4 tt custom setup. which would you guys choose? and why. bluelex, i'm sure you contemplated both setups before going with the 3. i miss the boost..and i dont wanna have to drive the wRX to get it..i want it in the gs..
