Cost of Labor: can range from 1200 to 5k...It really depends on what you want and the parts you decide to go with...

You can get a quote from Farley I am sure...The job was extremely clean..
The engine bay looks like the way it would from a Aristo IMO...

I can take detail pics if needed.
very clean car and setup, congrats!

If I may offer a couple of suggestions? If you're planning on going single then just ignore me

Personally I would get some USDM injectors along with USDM stock twins and possibly a walbro fuel pump. Reason is the US injectors are larger then on the JDM and the USDM twins are steel rather then ceramic, you're mainly blowing just hot air beyond 15 pounds in the JDM's whereas if you throw the US ones on there along with the injectors you'll be over 410 WHP easy. With those you'll be able to throw some 110 in there and be able to crank the boost up to 22 pounds

Just some friendly suggestions from a previous supra owner

once again very clean car and very clean swap! they did a good job

Beautiful!! I'm jealous. I have two Buick Grand Nationals so I love the FI stuff. I'd love to own a converted GS like that. If I ever get the time to do the research, I'd love to do a swap like that. Hell for $10-12k for an entry level swap, you can't beat it. Best of both worlds!

Love the car. You have the engine I want and everything WORKS! Okay now question; not completely mechanically inclined but can the GS 3 five speed trans hook up to the 2JZ-GTE and work?

DrewGS300,

Like you I am not as mechanically inclined but I think as we stand now the answer is no...You won't miss the 5speed auto though....I chose to go with the 4 speed because thats what was offered in the Aristo in Japan...

Give GR Tech a call....I am sure they will be able to answer your question..

I don't think the 5 speed would work with the Aristo ECU?
