I am also working on the same thing right now. I have a 93 Lexus GS 300 /Blue/Grey Interior. I am in the body work stage right now. Shaving the antenna and passenger key whole ect. here are pic's of my car and the look I am going for along with the color interior I am shooting for. I am also installing a 2j with trans, ecu and harness and will be looking for close to 410hp....
Is it an Aristo swap or USDM supra?
I had the the UDSM supra GTE but the harness was cut at the intake manifold ,so i called DR Tweak to get the harness extended and replace the broken connectors and was $1000 to get done that's when i changed my mind and decided NA-T all the way out.
The only thing that i hate on the NA is stupid Intake that come along the valve cover and the Distributor cap sitting right where the Turbo sits.
I have seen i few guys on SF losing the Distributor and going with the VVTi coilpacks, and FFIM which i would to do on my SC.
I could by a longblock with trans ecu and harness for the price of the FFIM.
Losaun what trans are u using ?
You are looking for 410hp or 410whp ?
For 410whp i will stick with GE and go na-t, But the GTE look more better and easy access to the spark splugs and valve covers.
I going to do my GS next after the SC.
2009 is been good to me so far hope it stays like that.
So last night one of my buddy pick up the old engine and tranny, i replaced the oil pump ,bolt the oil pan lower and upper ,oil strainer ,oil level sensor so that part is done.
i will be power washing the engine sunday , I am going to NY this afternoon .
Will pick up more parts on sunday at my buddy's house will some pics sunday
stay tuned thanks for the input!!!
yo quick, what is a round figure that youve spent on the extras outside the engine, trans, ecu, and harness? we working something like this, and i was curious.
why do cats always talk about why you repeating a thread this has been talked about, then when you bump your ideas into a thread you call it hijacking, WTF! thats one major problem with these forums as it is, info. is all over the place with alot of BS in between. you have 3 cats on the same mission, and its good to be able to bump each other in one spot rather than keep up with each different thread.
Hey man, let me first say my intentions were not to hijack your tread (what ever that really means) I think a fourm brings us all together to discuss what ever. I do not mind if someone shows off their project in my thread. By your questions above I do think you mind either but being the man that I am I would like to apologize to you personally if you took offense to me putting pic's of my project in your thread. Now to the business at hand. I am loving your project homie,,,,

I am not sure what trans I will be using just yet. I was told that the stock 2jgte trans would hold up to 450. I have not done any research on this yet. One of my goals is to have a 410hp daily driver you know..I am looking for 410 at the wheels. I like the look of the 2jgte and I like how scalable it it is you know.... I have access to a few parts so if you need something please let me know .........i just got a good deal on a Getrag 6speed 3100 what do you think. I want it but my pockets are so hurt right now. I would have to sell a bike to get.... I would really like a manual trans GS300. I know that auto trans would be faster but I like to be different you know.... what do you think..?

I think he was probably trying to get you to start your own thread man. I don't know if you've noticed, but reboticon loves the "Other Cars" section .

Ok, we can play this game.
1. I gave your ride props. That was me being cordial.
2. Smiley face at the end shows it was a comment made in good nature.
3. For someone who doesn't "internet bicker" you do a great job of trying to insult me in your post.
4. OP was giving a very DETAILED description of how he was building his car. You come in and post 10 full screen pics of your own car in the middle of his thread. If you had said hey im doing a similar build, blah blah blah, that would be completely different.
5. Give me one good reason why you would not post those pics in your own thread and said hey OP - im doing something similiar- check it out, and linked.
6. So "Hijack" sounds gay to you huh? You will have to take that one up with the English language, my friend. Personally, I think the word "Patio" sounds gay. Doesn't mean im going to make up a new word for my patio.
7. Further explanation of 6.. Damn sure is "gay" how there is a smiley like that.
8. Sounds like you have some serious esteem problems if you are suggesting you would drive 4 hours to have a talk about me politely asking/telling you to post your pics in your own thread.
9. If you really want to make the trip, feel free. Im a grown ass man too, and I don't fight fair, I fight to win.
10. I hope you better understand now where I am coming from. I did not mean to piss on you about the pictures, I just thought you should post them in your own thread. I have no beef with you unless you have one with me, but if thats the case, please review #9.

ya'll go'n make me sik my turbo hamsters on somebody.....
Way to diffuse man, that was exactly what I needed to hear.
@Losaun - Im cooled down from responding to your post. Heres the deal. I love the "Other Car" forum, I LOVE seeing other peoples builds. I would LOVE to see an entire thread about your car, filled with every bit of information you care to share. Thats the only reason why i made the hijack comment WITH the smiley face. As you pointed out, its not my thread, I don't care if OP doesn't, BUT I DO WANT to see an entire thread about your car. Simple as that. Hope we can be cool, as a RULE i never antagonize anyone on the forum (Exception: Lounge Political Threads) and I certainly wasn't trying to antagonize you. As you put it, we are both "Grown Ass Men" and I think this is kinda silly.
