Just wanted to say hello to all you Lexus fans out there. I have been going on this site for the last year and have found a lot of useful information. Thanks to all. I haven't really contributed though. I figured now is a good time. I only have some basic upgrades so far : Axis rims 19X9.5 rear and 19 X8.5 front , Tanabe springs, cross drilled and slotted rotors, ceramic pads, Blitz intake, HKS dual exhaust and JL Audio set up. the car is a 98 GS300. I have been saving and am going on the boost tomorrow. I bought a 2jz-gte VVT-i Twin Turbo engine and tranny about 5 months ago and have been buying parts to single it . I have most of it now.I also got the LSD for the rear. Figured I would start sharing some info on the project because there weren't many users with that set up. Just my 2 cents. I have to figure out how to put pictures on here??

 

Who is doing your swap and where did you purchase the motor?

 

wow... keeep us posted..... nice upgrade.V-tec on a 2jz is great... where did u get that LSD rear from?

 

Keep us posted

I think you mean VVT-i

 

yea thats still V-tec tho for us 6cyclndrz

 

Is it the Aristo motor and 4spd auto?, This is awesome,

 

Are you doing stick or auto?????

 

Im gonna take a stab and say auto....I think its too much work for a man with the ECU and such. Keep us posted man!

 

Yo Im Doing The Same Swap Just Getting It Finishing Up With My Tunning
My Basic Set Up 3'' Tanbe Down Pipe
Apex Safc Type 2
Venom Cam Gear
Greedy E Mangement Ultimete
Blitz Boost Controller
24x12x3'' Xs- Power Intercooler
Dragon Turque Converter

Thinking Go Single After Getting The Fell Of New Power

 

Are you using Supra TT or Aristo VVTI motor
what tranny are you using? JDM ecu or the stock OBD2

 

YES IM USING ARISTO VVT-I MOTOR AND TRANNY AND RUNNING
STOCK ECU WITH OBD2 OF COURSE BUT HAD TO USE GREEDY
E-MANEGMENT ULTIMETE FOR A PIGGY BACK SYSTEM .

 

Well today I take the engine out! Damn I'm excited. To answer your question, it came with a 4 speed auto(with a manual mode ) I just have to figure out if I can upgrade my steering wheel with the buttons? Here's a quick list of whats going in today.

VVT-i Aristo motor and tranny
precision turbo GT40-67
precision intercooler 750hp
custom manifold by MTR heat coated
Tial 44mm wastegate
Tial blow off valve


I'll keep you posted. I'm leaving the fuel stock until I get the engine running, except for some minor lines that need to be run. I took a pic with my phone last night. I'll get better ones.

 

Good luck with this. You would be trying to use a computer set up to shift a 5-speed automatic to shift the new aristo 4-speed.

This is a great thread lets keep it going. There have been a few threads here and there but noone really has gotten into specifics or details. It would be great if you could include more photos and or issues that you come across and tell us how you resolved them. Input from everyone would make this a very informative thread.

Burton is also doing this swap as we speak. Check his recent thread here:
