2JZGTE swap on my 2GS.... in 12 hours!
just finished my full gte swap complete with aristo diff and custom exhaust. took 12 hours from driving the car in, to driving it out with some extra punch 
I just want to say thanks to this forum and everyone on it that has posted their swaps and projects! thanks to you guys, my swap went perfect and she started up and drove out with zero issues 
i had to make a 3" exhaust, plumb the return line for the fuel, and mod the stock pump holder to accept the return and a walbro pump, other then that it was plug and play with stock I/C and airbox....
So thanks again guys, you made this a piece of cake!!!

Looks like your front turbo is pulling air before the air filter. Gonna be replacing it soon if that's the case. Other than that sweet. I just crashed my 2g with gte vvti. Gonna be swapping everything into a new 2g soon. Good luck. Also I'll have a mines chipped ecu going up for sale in a couple months if your interested.

I'm gonna go ahead and call my self out before anyone else does. I'm a retard. Don't know wtf I was thinking. Obviously that's the pressure side going to the intercooler. Lol. I think I was still asleep.

That is an impressive time. You should start offering that drive in/drive out service to other members for a fee, seems like you have the routine down pat. Did you get the engine, trans, harness, ecu, rear, ic, intake, and driveshaft from one place? Could you pm me the price you paid for everything if you don't want to post it on the forum. Thanks

Use the ront half from the ariso and if you are using the aristo rear you'll need a deep 33 mm I think to swap the flange off with the rear from the Lexus. You can also get a real good deal at drift motion dot com on a one piece. It's a little under 600$ and is much stronger and lighter. Plus you lose the rubber end pieces for billet aluminum.
