Location: Memphis, TN		The car is going to be amazing... torque on tap like you won't believe. the engine BARELY fits, but will be so well worth it. It's really a swap done right and the engine bay is amazing!

Location: Bartlett		Incredible job on the harness and fair price also. Hard to find both. Will be using him again. Would be glad to do this swap again if any one is interested. This is the best swap by far even though it was expensive.

And how much moolah for the swap? If I was willing to forgo my turbo 5VZ...

Location: Bartlett, TN		Looks good & is rated around 268 flywheel HP & 248 TQ. It aught to be fun for sure.

So, you planning on SC'ing this engine?? That should be interesting for sure!

You have me wandering now about the 2GR-FSE in the Lexus GS350 & the IS350. It is rated at 311 Flywheel HP & 278 TQ. Wonder if it is the same size as the 2GR-FE?? Expensinve motor though, even if you could find 1 from a wreck I bet, since it is a Lexus motor. But would be interesting.
Hmmmmmm...

Location: Jackson, MS		the 2gr-fse won't work in a transverse mounted setup. The 2gr-fse is a longitudinal mounted engine/transmission. Believe me... I wanted to do that swap also. Plus it is a direct port injection engine and that can be a pain to setup also.

Location: Bartlett		Gouky is claiming 280 Whp on his with headers and the cats gone. We will find out eventually when I get the exhaust finished up and get around to the dyno again. Yeah super charger would be great eventually but its going to take a while to recover from this massive expense and I wouldnt mind seeing someone else try it first. Dont need any more blown engine any time soon.

Well, shoot!

Oh well back to the drawing board with my 3sgte.

Yeah, VERY NICE though Elliot hope to see it at an AX soon! It should do quite well.

Location: Bartlett		Exhaust goes on this weekend. Maybe I will make it to the next one. Going to want to put some miles on it also before I rag it out and make sure everything is just right.
