Whoops sorry, I forgot. I have a GS400 not the GS300 so the trannys are different.

Currently I am at just under 500HP it is supposed to be good for 800

I'm interested too. I didn't know gs400 tranny is different from 300's. Either way it sounds promising to have bpu-level gte w/ 5spd auto swapped in.

I guess we can always go with the amg 5spd auto...if adapters are made and it physically fits.

My local shop Mahdavi Motorsports sent it out for me. I believe it was a company called transworld out on the west coast. But Level 10 also does our trannys

ok, i just found out who built the tranny for my car.

Marco @ Supercar Tuning Center in illinois.
it was a $3000 build so i assume it is their stage 2 build that consist of GM/Toyota parts.

Finally got it on the dyno today. Did some tuning and a couple of pulls. My wastegate keeps sticking and I'm still trying to figure out this boost gauge. I'm pretty happy with the numbers but we need to tune some more and turn up the boost. I'm want to get like 500 to the wheels. Thanks to Rudy @ manic tech racing for the dyno time and his tuning. Here's one pull.

Hey Corey, Manic tech racing is where I'm taking my car Tuesday to get retuned. I just spoke to Manic today to confirm my appointment. I think you have my number give me a buzz or swing through so we can chill while he takes a look at my situation.

Congrats by the way even tho I know you have much more in there. I think I remember reading that the dynomite dyno is more true and on the money tht say a dyno jet so don't get down on that. I bet you go on a dyno jet and pull like 30 more just from that dyno from what people have told me..

hey guys i was planning this for about a year nows and i havn't reach a conclusion on what to do! either keep the stock motor and rebuild it with factory toyota turbo piston and rods or look for a 2jz-gte with a 5-6speed manual

whats the highest numbers have guys ran stabilly with just the GE internals?
and stock tranny?

I own a supra also so i started out from supraforums and i've seen the mkiii guys run a 2jz-ge on a r154 5 speed manual tranny and a 1jz bell housing, if so that would be a pretty cheap thrill lol if the stock GE internalls could hold 300-350whp

only things im worried about the swap is emission problems now aday with the obd2 reading

and as for the downpipe for a 2jz-gte it bolts up to the y-pipe on the GS3?
supra downpipe?

intresting thread
and just simply amazing build ups dude!
