Can someone shine some light of what i need to complete the swap? I think i need a gs300 mounts and different type of ecu. Will I need a different tranny? If possible to use the auto tranny on the 2jz?

im in the midst of doing a 2JZ GTE (non VVTI out of a Supra) in my GS400. We had to use SC300 mounts with adapter plates to get the motor to sit right. We tried a variety of mounts before coming up with this set up. You will have sme hurldes with wiring for sure. My circumstance is a bit different as Im running the V160 6 speed, so I dont have the tranny to deal with. I also was running a full stand alone prior, so Iwould be wiring reardless. Its not going to be plug and play on a GS4 for sure, but it is achievable.

Well i used a 2jzgte vvti swap and the supra mounts worked for me, as for wiring i have a 98 gs400 and the wiring on my car will be easier than yours. It can be done but since you have a newer model gs a few things will take a little more time to figure out wiring wise.

Yea, I don't understand this swap at all. I mean, you can do what you like, but why remove a potent and proven V8, for a six? Even though it can be turbo'd, still, just buy a 300 and go off of that.

Yea I get it. But you can buy a 98 300 for dirt cheap these days. Even if it was well maintained, they still go for $3-4k. Or do what Kam had suggested which is swap it in a SC
