Hey guys, just out of curiosity. Is it possible to sway the is350 engine(2GR-FSE) into a is300? If so has anyone done it yet? Also does the is350 engine weigh more than the is300 egine? or does it weigh less?
I thought about doing it to one of our 300s, but none of the guys shared my enthusiasm.Rollaids said:Hey guys, just out of curiosity. Is it possible to sway the is350 engine(2GR-FSE) into a is300?

probably would not fit.... extensive modification are needed.
BUT if you think about it.... that one Member who drived a Yellow Is300 SportCross Fit in a Gs Engine....
And that was, just WOW.
where are you gonna find the engine in the first place.. you cant walk to the junk yard or Super Auto Bacs
my two cents
is the GT2 for sale?Apex84 said:We had a couple spare 350 motors here at Team Lexus and the idea was to make two insane drift cars.
Do you want one. You seem you have deep pockets.IS300eR said:is the GT2 for sale?
I have no idea. I never checked. It's not noticeably worse than the 2JZ. I have to say if you're going to go for manual transmission and have to pass emissions, this probably isn't the right motor.Whats the fuel consumption like in this chassis compared to the 2J?
Interesting I'd love to know more , I have an is200 in Australia and I'm bored with the NA 2L 1gfe . The 2gr seems incredibly appealingI'm with you and waiting for pioneers to make the 2gr swaps a plug and play kit, or even a 2arfe for people that still wish to have a turbo IS300. Like you said the MR2 guys and Frankenstein Motorworks has made great progress on both engines (270whp on a NA 2arfe, and 300whp on 2grfe I believe).
The 2ar is probably 200+lbs lighter than the factory 2jz, and would show it all around in performance with handling, braking, acceleration, etc. It's a large 4 cylinder turbo at 2.5L, and can be made a 2.7L with 2arfe rods. It'll be years, but I bet this engine makes more hp/tq than a NA 2jzge vvti.
I've been in a 5 speed 2grfe MR2 (2750lbs I'm gonna guess), the torque on it was amazing. So the 2gr option is still great for Na as well.
I'm following a couple of guys doing a 2grfse into a IS300 on Facebook. So far, no one has aimed for the 2arfe.
