Whats up everyone! My name is lou and im a proud owner of a 93 sc300. I am new to the world of lexus and coming from fords I am clueless about these cars. Plans are for a 2jz swap within the next couple of months. Now I have a few questions I have read and searched already but cant seam to findout somethings.

1. I am planning on dr.tweak to do the harness conversion will this make the jdm tranny work with the car also?

2. I am confused about the water pump issue.

3. Besides the normal stuff like fuel pump, intercooler, hoses and power steering resivor what else is needed?

sorry for the long post but im really interested in making this swap happen soon. Thanks

 

clean car man, cant wait to see your car done! good luck!

 

Welcome to CL...

 

The water pump issue, I think and anyone correct me if I'm wrong, is just that u need to upgrade it to a hydraulic one

 

Clean car bro. Def get rid of those wheels asap lol

 

Welcome! Decent looking SC..You missed the Mega Meet a JM Lexus on Sun, that would have been the best place to ask questions! If you are in Mia then you can get that wiring extended local, Also when I did my swap I did the timing belt and water pump at the same time. Other things you will need is a boost gauge, Some sort of Engine management, a BOV, Speed cut and boost cut defencer, a tuner to tune your car...thats all I can think of for now but im sure there is more, good luck!

 

clean gl on the swap theres plenty of info here

 

clean sc welcome to CL

 

Welcome to CL and nice pickup!

 

Welcome to the club. Keep us informed with your progress with pictures and updates as they come. Good luck with you swap and again, welcome!

 

thanks for the warm welcome guys. locally the only person ive heard that can do the harness is lance but from what ive heard he is a little pricy.

 

looks like your not wasting any time with the swap. You can kinda say that Im coming from a ford; the powerplant on my mazda is a duratec 30. anyways, congrats on the new ride and gl with the install

 

Expect to pay lots to have someone do the wiring harness, and from what I remember you'll also need to the USDM oil pan and a longer throttle cable
