The stock turbo set up from japan is basically the same as the us, hense it also will not fit. A 2jzgte is a 2jzgte... Though the Turbos are different between the Supra and Aristo's, the manifold is still essentially the same between the two 2jzgte heads...

That will be the same as trying to use Supra turbo parts. The turbo from Japan is also 2JZ-GTE. Easier if you do engine swap of the Aristo V300 rather than trying to bolt on everything.

Engine swap.

Swapping the Aristo V300 or the Supra TT engine into the GS300. Lotsa things needed. Engine, tranny, ECU, etc. etc. etc. Costly. 15~20k. Could be less. But prepare to pay that much.

Easiest thing to do: Buy a Supra.

CSHFLW,
I have the stock twin turbo setup sitting in my warehouse. I'll sell it to you for $900 if interested. I also have the stock 2JZ-GE sitting on an engine rack. I can tell you that the setup will not bolt up... the exhaust manifold flange patterns are different.

You can sell the 2JZ-GE to some Camry people.

No... I had a GS300 and now have a LHD V300 minus E-shift. I've ditched the twin turbos to utilize a single turbo. I have a HKS T04R turbo with a clipped turbine wheel and a new housing for awesome spool up (shout-outs to Willie Y. ). I choose the SARD turbo manifold for aggressive wastegate location. I've just picked up a set of 14" Brembo front brake system. My tranny and torque converter are in the hands of Pat Barrett. I also have the Supra's TT LSD. I am also working with very COMPETANT eletrical engineers in the US and in Japan to "change" the characteristics of the ECU. I'm going to make sure Toyomoto and SRT will get a run for their money. I hope I answered your question.

Both Aristo V300 and Supra TT uses the 2JZ-GTE but there are some VERY MINOR differences. For example Supra TT uses 6-speed manual and Aristo V300 a 4-speed auto with E-shift.

But the only problem with me using the twin turbos is the manifold fitting, right? What can I do to get around this? Have one made? Get a supra block? suggestions?

The problems are more than just the manifold. The head is very different, and the ECU is totally different, etc. etc. Like we said, there's ALOT of work involved in trying to make a stock turbo component fit. Better off using a kit that's designed to bolt-on or at least fit with minimal amount of fabrication. hence bolt on turbo or engine swap. At least they've been done, and both will create better results than using supra turbo parts.
