Thats watsup. Can't wait!

BTW the funniest thing happened this weekend. Being foolish I caused a connecting rod bearing to spin which probably caused a flatspot in the crank.

Now I gotta replace the motor and I am debating on changing from a 2jz to a *UZFE V8 with trans(if it's as easy as getting an SC400 wire harness, custom motor mounts and custom exhaust, only because of the torque) or 2jz GTE. But most likely I'll just drop in another 2JZ-GE because I need the car to be driveable asap and still remain on a strict budget. Especially since I plan to take the car down this winter to build my version of an Aristo.

Any advice or words of wisdom?
My fault for the threadjack.

yeah i can be done some Aristo came with V8 in Japan i am talking bout 91/96 aristo which never came to the US till 98.

Whats up with the DOHC v8 lexuses? I see them around here all the time for cheap. Are they decent performance bases or better to skip them and go straight 6?

^ They are potent from what I know, Lextreme.c has alot of info on the UFZE v8's. But I'm still a noob on the Lex V8's.

The V8!!! i wish i bought a the GS430 when i got mine!!
300 hp all you need is SRT Intake and ECU, Exhaust,header,2800 or 3200 stall TQ, Supra TT LSD and Good if you don't wanna go turbo that's what i wish i've done.
There are a few guys that are running a supercharger on the 400 and 430, pushing 394whp and TQ.
Or if roll with Big dogs Custum TT set up 7psi over 5**hp to the crank.
The SC400 are really cheap and a lot people are going for the 400 and swap the 2jzgte in them .
I saw one SC4 for sale TT set up in Chicago 570rwhp for sale cleanest set i have ever seen.
I will be getting an LS430 sometime this year,i will be going nutt with GS.

Awesome project bro. cant wait for the results. i love lexus, thanks for sharing your mods with us.

QuickLegend · 05-08-09, 10:01 AM

I got the TT motor mount,rear main seal and crank seal since they don't come in the gasket kit.
I order the oil pump ,i have two of them but didnt wanna take the risk, it may go bad when i put it in .
Next week i am ordering the parts for the manual swap ,i cant pick up the manual trans since in have the old engine and trans in the garage no room for anything.
Got the new seat ,hood, new front bumper, steering wheel ,New 3 rows racing radiator from fluidyne, 4 pistons caliper ,rear wing.
I am going to drop the motor and tranny in next week just to make everything properly and them slap the Turbo and rest of the stuff.
I need some Rx 7 injectors 550cc.
stay tuned
