Not an easy thing to do as the Lexus has amplifiers as well. Most after market kits use a remote speaker for the phone. The mute function works well - just a little difficult to use the speakers. Graham

Dave The IS300 is a 6 cylinder in-line engine - 2JZ-GE - the non-turbo version of the awesome 2JZ-GTE from the Supras. I have fitted the 1JZ-GTE engine into an IS200. This is the 2.5litre version of the Supra motor. Makes for a very fast IS200 car but was a little expensive to do the conversion. For instance the gearbox also has to be replaced as the engine has too much power for the standard box. Regards Graham

CCT3 - fits straight in without any mods. Hope it all goes well. Graham

Here is Australia the speedos go to 240kph.

I thought about the V8 first because my son has a Soarer V8. Nice motor. WOuld be even better as a manual. But then I saw the VVTi for sale - what more could you ask for. Still would like to do a V8 version one day - perhaps in a GS300.

Greeneyes $13,786 so far. About $2,000 to go for the exhaust.

Welcome. If you want to mod the engine then check out Toymods Forum. Usually almost anything can be found on there. I went the easy way with my IS200 - fitted a 1JZGTE VVTi with Getrag 6 speed. All comes down to how much you want to spend? Graham

But which pin-out are you looking for. There are about 140 wires. I need to know which ones you are specifically looking for. Graham D

I have the complete IS200 wiring diagrams (all 600 pages of it). Let me know what signals you are looking for and I can find them for you. Alternatively I have a spreadsheet of the connections onto the engine computer that I used to wire my 1JZ unit into the car. It has almost all of the signals on it. Graham

How's the conversion going? I have a similar one underway and almost finished. The 1JZ bolts straight in with only a few problems. I changed the gearbox to a Getrag V160 6 speed at the same time. Had to shorten the gearchange to suit the location. Graham
