Corrections:
IS200 sport 1999 no LSD, LSDs were found in 2000+ models.
European IS300 diff ratio = 3.583:1 and US = 3.9:1
W55 gearboxes were NOT found in the mk3 Supras, they had the W58.
I've finally decided to swap to an IS300 for that 2JZ! This will be a much more customizable platform than the 1G-FE! If you are trying to decide between these two cars, the IS300 is the CLEAR answer! You can always manual swap it if you don't like the auto box, which is exactly my plan.

@henriquemartins2723 3 года назад

Hey man....I loved the video....just one correction. The 2jz engine from the is300 is not the same one from the mk4 Toyota supra. The only similarity it has with the 2jz from the supra is the engine block and thats it. Otherwise everything is different. You can only push about 600 hp out of the is300 max without blowing the engine.

@shizukesajdm 3 года назад

@@henriquemartins2723 Thanks for watching. Numerous people have said this, but there were non-turbo, non vvti mk4 Supras made as well as GTE Supras. The rods are slightly thicker on the non turbo, non vvti Supras though. The forged crank is also identical as well as the block. Also, 600hp is not a reliable or healthy amount of power to push through a vvti 2JZ-GE engine. 500 is the absolute max the rods will take without being put under extreme stress. In fact, I wouldn’t even push this far. I think 450hp is a more reasonable power figure. In a later video, I stated that I will be building the IS300 to 600whp, which will require a completely forged internal swap. CP pistons, Manley rods, BC 264 cams, maybe 272 exhaust cam, BC titanium springs and retainers, Borg Warner SX300 62mm turbo, etc etc. Big project, but it’ll be worth it when it’s done! 😎✌🏻

I have a 2014 Scion FR-S, I still think I will probably do a 3sge beams swap, keep that NA and tune it to around 300hp. but I've been seriously considering a turbo 1gfe lately, just because of the sound and similar power output desired. however, what's holding me back from the 1g is the price and parts availability :/ not sure what to do!

@gurpreetsoomal5408 10 месяцев назад

Once you realize that you're adding 150lbs to the front end of your vehicle, you will regret it. Stick to a 2arfe or something. It ets 270whp NA as per Frankenstein Motorworks mods. I think that would be the best engine for the FR-S, and even the IS200/IS300 for people that want a lightweight sportscar. Or turbo the 2ar and aim 500hp if you wish, and have good weight.

@LifeOfTuners 2 года назад

Damn crazy that the us and UK didn't get the altezza, over here they come with a 2.0 4 cylinder beams motor, pushing about 210hp, it's quicker then both obviously, and lighter so it handles better. Plus unlike the 2jz, it's an athletic engine, that likes to rev, and is fun to use, unlike the flat power curve4 of a na jz

I was going to go with an r154 but in my area they are a lot and I couldn't find a w55 or w58 close by so the ar5 was available and i went with that transmission.

@shizukesajdm 3 года назад

While that may be true, autos aren’t worth my time. The rods with absolutely not take much power, they’re a loooot thinner than the non vvti rods. Since I’m going past 600whp, they have to go.

Hey mate - just so you know: All 300s had yellow dogs And also the early IS200 S (lowest grade) had 16” wheels. And then you could also spec the TTE Aero Kit to get 6 spoke 18” And just another quick thing, not saying you got it wrong in the video but, the number displayed on the screen when in manual mode isn’t actually always what gear you are in, it’s the maximum gear that you will allow the car to shift itself to. For example you’re cruising along in 3rd, if you click it up twice and it displays “5” - it doesn’t always mean it’s in 5th, just you have allowed the car to go up to 5th if it deems it needs to. It could stay in 3rd or 4th depending on speed and Revs etc. But as I say, just a bit of handy information if you didn’t know.

Hey buddy! Isn’t it great when RU-vid doesn’t notify you of comments?? 😅 Yeah I e realised after driving the 300 for a while that the gearbox is super annoying and I can’t wait to swap it for the R154 haha! Thanks for the info. Sorry for the mega late reply!

Keep the the great week. Currently building up my IS200. Second owner/first car car. So hard to let go hahaha. Would love a is300 but they are hard to find or the price of them crazy.

@shizukesajdm 3 года назад

Yeah prices of both the IS200s and IS300s are going up and up! My original plan was to supercharge the IS200, but I couldn’t pass up an IS300 with an 18 year service history at 99k miles! Now I have a 2J to build from! What do you plan on doing to your IS200?

@@shizukesajdm yea it's crazy. IS300 is hard to come by in Australia. Lots of IS200 around. Yours videos have helps me do a couple of small upgrades. Much appreciated. There wasnt alot of is200 even 300 videos online years ago. All of a sudden everyone getting one hahaha. I'm pretty just just making it a ricer. All looks and sounds.

Would the 2jz ge be bolt on in an is200? Found a broke down is200 and a 2jz for sale and it’s a nice opportunity but I don’t know if it would be technically difficult? Of course it’s time consuming, but would it be hard to do?

@shizukesajdm 2 года назад

You would also need the engine mounts, ECU, wiring loom, adaptor plate for the gearbox and number outs other parts that make it quite an expensive swap. Cheaper to buy an IS300, they’re not that expensive in the UK/EU :)
