Hi,
i was thinking (later, end 2005 or later) to buy a IS200 maybe with a broken engine and swap a 2JZ-GTE in it and maybe upgrade it etc...
How much using a hammer is needed? :cyclon:

What would be needed, id buy the 6speed but ive heard that the gearbox can handle only 250 safely...
Would the Getrag V160 or V161 fit, i dont wnat the 5sped.

Driveshaft etc... what do i need, what would it cost?

I want a really fast daily driver, id rather have it than a sti or evo where id need to go to the inspection every 5000 miles and so on.

we dont have the Is300 with a manual gearbox...

 

engine - custom mounts, custom piping, electronics are not fun

transmission - custom mounts, custom driveshaft, different rear end?

 

There is a guy (in Australia I think) that is doing this. There is a huge 8 page thread on this over at is300.net in the Go Faster Forum. I have personally not read it but I think it would be able to answer most, if not all, of your questions.

 

Where are you from?

Do a search for blownis200 (member), he has done he exact same thing.

 

There is a guy in Tampa, FL with this done.

 

no there is not...

UnVeMe has a GTE bottom and GE head...

 

the is only comes in 5 speed right? there is no 6 speed from what i heard

and if you wanna do the gte swap, you should put in the getrag 6 speed o at least something stronger, otherwise the stock tranny it can't hold that much power. i know the 5 speed on is300 here in the US it can hold about 300 at the wheels?

 

Plus Matt has a IS300, not IS200.

 

Henry, read the qoute you answered to, Europe doesn't get the IS300 with a manual, only automatics.
So his best bet would be the supra 6 speed since he wants the 2JZGTE.

 

well in that case i think the 6 speed should be able to handle more than 250hp?

 

The Supra 6 speed can handle a lot more.

 

The V160 and V161 are the Getrag Trannys and i have heard they can hold up to 900whp.

I just need to know how much banging and cutting is needed

 

Are you from The Netherlands?

 

I am Dutch but live in Germany

Right now i got a 02 Civic Type R

 

There is an IS200 with a 2JZ-GTE swap in Germany. The owner of that car is also a member of this forum.
If you would like to contact him to ask questions, I mentioned his name in my 1st post.

On a totally different subject, will you be going to the Essen show?
