there are several companies that make turbo kits for that car. look at the parts they include and their management system.

The GS300 has a 2JZ-GE engine. The SAME engine as the Supra non-turbo. The turbo uses a slightly differnt variation of the SAME engine code 2JZ-GTE. The GE version can be run upwards of 500rwhp on the stock block. Great turbo motor. Do it. www.Lextreme.com www.clublexus.com all Supra sites.

Are you really that stupid? You do realize that they're just Toyota motors, most of which are based off of the same engines that come with turbos?


You are an idiot

A friend of mine turboed his SC300 (same engine I think as the GS) and he's running 12's at 119 or 120. Stock bottom/top ends.

dude i aint that ------ dumb... he asked the stupid question when im sure he hasn't done a bit of research on it so i gave the dumbest reply... no ---- its possible. no ---- he doesn't have to spend a ton of money... i jus gave him the reply he was probably expecting... your an idiot for not noticing my sarcasm... do i need one of these :P after each comment so u see sarcasm? but imo if i bought a lexus, i bought it for a reason... cost 20x more then any honda so why destroy the motor in it...but hey, thats jus my opinion. if he wants a reliable motor jus get the jdm soarer setup, should fit right in.

I know a guy in dayton, Ohio that has a newer Lexus IS300 with (i think) a GS400 v-8 swap in it with twin turbo setup. it's show quality, but it was very expensive, here's their info, they should be able to point you in the right direction if you give em a call. They specialize in turboing any type of car. If you read HCI, he had a dyno'd 600whp civic in there that he built this last summer.
