Another GS!?! :thumbsup: Losaun, the 93 looks pretty clean cuz.

I'm leaning more towards getting another stock 2jz for the summer so I can drive asap, then I'll save the v8 swap for this winter when I cop a truck. Getting rides from my girl or my homies can only go on for so long ya know. lol

You swapping the V8 in your 300 is gonna cost you as much as going NA-T.
And the v8 from 92/97 are rated 250hp and VVTI for 98 and up 300hp !!!
It's not worth it man. let me know and GL

The shipping is gonna kill you man,it would been the best way to do the swap.
Don't send his no money till you go see it yourself ,BTW Jhot is in ATL why don't you try them first i heard a lot positive feedback on them on CL and SF by the time you pay for towing for Philly to ATL you will be at 3000$ and that's not finish you must replace the HG and WP,TB all the coolant hoses,valves seals i will replace the pistons rings .
I am thinking about going a different route with my SC i wanna go GTE if i sell my trans today or tomorrow i will get the 2jzgte.
My boy i gonna do the wiring so no need to spend $1000 on wiring.

Yeah, I'll save myself time money and frustation and take your advice on that. You seem to know alot about these cars.

I'll stick with replacing the motor with another 2jzge and keep my head(if it's still good) and intake manifold have them ported and polished then most likely do a gte or NA-T swap, if I use the ge intake manifold, this winter.:yes:

Quick give me a call when you can homie... 914-602-3209 I lost your number..

 

[QuickLegend]

I will call today.
As for the project i am going a different route!!!!!
The GTE route i was just tired of spending money just on Toyota parts not even performance yet.
I am going to pick it saturday in Jersey and the car should be done in the next 2 weeks i will just drop right in ,I going to get the harness extended and plug & play.
I sold all the parts except the manual trans and the block.
With the Stock Twin i can make 400rwhp.I will keep the for 6 month /1 year and then go Single ,Im thinking GT42.will see after get my new engine.

 

[sugerbear008]

Hey Quick !!! I am working on a simular project. here is the thread....

No link for minelol!!

i've been looking for a platform to throw this GTE in that's been sitting on the shop floor for more than a year. my cousin/ business partner did the sc3/ gte swap and it runs beautifully. imho i think the gs has way more to offerthan the coupe. the look is timeless(mine is a 94 gs) the rarity of seeing a clean one is high on the scale. then add the gte twins, FMIC, lowering kit, paint and rims and you have the real "ultimate driving machine". hey by the way have you guys seen the E (something) BMW 3 Series with the 6 speed 2j in it. sweet shit

oh yeah you car has a nice mix of VIP drifter and gangster keep up the good work

 

[QuickLegend]

Losaun are u still looking for the Aristo tranny i will be getting my engine locally so let me know if you still need the trans ,i will only charge you 200$ for it and you pay shipping let me know if you still interested.
I didnt want to spend 2500$ but going to 1900 on this engine, and since it's local i am so excited !!! I can't wait till saturday.
I will post pics of the whole process.

 

[Team LR]

wish i had the funds to do such a build, looks like its commin out nice tho

 

[QuickLegend]

Team LR

I wanted to do this to my legend when i had her ,but it looks like i wasnt gonna be able to do it.
Ive been wanting to create a 500 Rwhp Dailly driver for a long time ,but i didnt have the time and the info that i needed . After six years of research i come to the conclusion and made my mind.
I saved a lot of money,BTW my Wife bought me the SC she knew it was my dream to build a 500 rwhp SC.
She loves to see me work on my car because it keeps me Home and out of trouble!!!! lol
I got a few updates for yall

here is the engine coming out

But this is what going IN anybody wanna Guess ????

so yeah i am going a different route
1JZ-GTE 2.5L Twin Turbo
I can make easily 340rwhp with stock twins
To hit 500 rwhp i will have to go single with a 63 or 67 Trim, TT injectors, Walbro 255 fuel Pump and some othe things
Here is the story i talk to this Guy in Jersey that had the 2JZ-GTE i offered him 1900$ by the time i get there he sold it and it was the last one , after 4hrs of driving when i got there the engine was gonna and i didnt wanna come home empty handed so i pick the 1J engine and BTW i never liked the look of this engine but my friend has i in his SC and convinced me to get it. He has a 1JZ head on a 2JZ Block 800 RWHP i mean 800 to the wheel SC
they call this swap the 1.5JZ its a 2.5L head on a 3.0L block.
He is gonna extend my wiring Harness tomorrow , I am goin to order my parts from Japan on Tueday because the 1JZ never made it to the US.

Smart choice. I heard the 1JZ is less prone to bhg than the 2jz, is that true?(not saying that the 2jz has bhg problems)

I ve never had any BHG on my 2jzs i had about 5 2JZ engine and none of them had BHG issues maybe 98 out of 100 2jzs has a BHG don't worry about blown HG on your GS

 

[Losaun]

Quick, you may have said this already but why did you go with the 1J vs. the 2J just curious....

P.s. Call me if you can..

thanks
