I'm looking into getting a 2jz-gte engine swap into my GS3, and I'm trying to find places close to here that either specialize in it or have someone on these forums that can vouch for their technical prowess.

Also, I'm perfectly willing to do this myself, so if anyone in the NJ/NY/PA/DE area has done this before and would be willing to help me (seeing as I've never done an engine swap before ), that would be just as great.

Several I know of:

Josh @ First State in DE. He's building a 2jz SC for one of my best friends. In fact, Josh mentioned that his next project would be a GS. We will be driving there next week to pickup the SC.

Peter@ISP in Beltsville, Md-Also mentioned doign a 2J GS. GS is becoming the project car of the year for some reason.

Also don't forget our very own TODD (Rising Sun) in NY. I don't know if he is up to it but he's the man anyway. Probaly can do it with a blindfold. LOL.
Anyway I sure there are a few more but these 3 I would trust.

Why not go NA-T???

Well I have questions concerning that. Is it more advisable to do something like that? I mean I know its the near indestructable 2jz, and i'm not looking for crazy numbers or anything like that. Just more oomph when the pedal is stomped.

If I was to go NA-T, it would obviously be cheaper than a swap, but by how much? and also, all I'm trying to do is break the 300rwhp mark, nothing too crazy or anything. Is this possible with the NA-T setup? I haven't done any research on it yet.

Yup... The 1st gen GS motor is stronger than the VVTi motor. you could break 300+ easy.

Blah, it's ok

Seriously though, 300hp is an easy mark for you to reach with minimal boost going that route.

How much would a NA-T setup for the 1st gen run if I only want to put out, max 400hp?
