how much splicing would you say you did? is the gm computer going to be able to run the stock lexus gauges? im going to be doing this swap in the near future and wiring info is few and far between.

The ecu will most likely run the tach however will not run the speedo. You will need a dakota digital speedo converter.

Wiring an LS is easy. I think there are like 4 powers and a couple grounds and shes done. The way you run your relays and stuff is the most complicated part.

The psi harness comes pre wired with a mini fuse block. Bad *** harness. Ls2 sc is right about the speedo. Dakota digital is mandatory.

I thought I read somewhere that DGR wasn't making mounts anymore...

This thread is really useful for my brother's hopes of switching his 89 Supra to LSX power. It makes a lot more sense than fixing the n/a 7MGE and he's had a 94 Supra so the 2JZ is "been there, done that." Even a 5.3 truck motor would make a good cruiser.

5.3 truck motor with Cnc heads and a decent cam would be a real fun car on an mk3 chassis

how was the install of the wilwood mastercylinder and did you use the stock clutch pedle or a aftermaket one?

boosted4.6

My car is an auto so I had to buy the clutch/ brake pedal assembly. On the inside of the firewall you can see a "template" where you can cut out to fit the clutch pedal box. I cut the oem holes and enlarged the master hole to fit the larger wilwood master. The factory holes are diagonal and the wilwoods are straight up and down, so drilled the two additional holes in the firewall. So now I have a total of five holes. Two for the pedal box, two for the wilwood and one for the master. I noticed that the firewall seemed flimsy so I made a cardboard Template of the five holes, traced that to a 3/8 piece of aluminum and made a "firewall clutch support/reinforcement". The threads on the wilwood pushrod are 5/16 24 so I just tapped the factory pivot pin to that size.

So for anyone that is considering an auto to manual swap as well as using the wilwood master... you should do something like this:

Lol very true. Mine was free though!

So nissan and Toyota use the same clutch master pattern? Interesting

Wilwood masters are cheap. Like 50 bucks

so all in all, how much would you say it would cost for the entire LS engine swap with the manual tranny?

If you got questions just ask the guy who got it finished.

The speedo will work if you have your tuner dyno adjust the outputs of the gm ecu. my works perfect.
