Default 99 GS400 2UR-GSE Swap

does anyone know how hard it would be to swap a 2URGSE into the GS400? if not thats fine

if i did do this swap would it be worth it; bc i just started learning about the UR engines; and i would like to do an all motor build in my 99 GS400 but i do know that its hard to gain hp that way using the 1uz

if anyone knows about these motors i would be more than happy to learn and if they can be paired to a manual transmission as well bc i have no clue

and what do you think about this idea?

They're both uncharted territory. Whether developing the solution is worth it is up to you. It's certainly not the most cost effective way to go about making power, not by a long shot.

Anything is possible if you have the money.

well I really don't care how much it will cost bc it's just an idea plus even if I was to do it I can get an mt82 plus the ECU and the coyote for less than 7k and can get a gs400 for like 2-5k it's really not that much(obviously not cheap bit still affordable). Plus the coyote has so much more aftermarket support than the 1uz
plus I’m sure if I actually did go through with this I bet I could get a ton of support im sure

Ok, well... go for it.

If you can make a kit that's better value than a single turbo 2JZ-GTE or 2JZ-GE+T and CD009 or R154, I'm sure it'll be very popular.

That's the plan with the sc300 basically lol like almost exactly. But I'd like to have a NA car that has a decent bit of power For instant power and is an 8 cylinder that's also a Lexus and isn't super expensive
