BlurrySC300 Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 I've been thinking alot about people who do the 2JZ-GTE swap out in their IS. A single turbo set up seems more efficient, but why do a 2JZ-GTE swap out and then change to single big turbo....why not just turbo an IS300 and do a 6speed conversion? But thats just thoughts and also beside the point....my real question is, if you do a 6 speed conversion to a N/A IS300, will there be that much acceleration gained? If yes, any clue as to what the procedure would cost? Thanks, --John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartkat Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 If you're going with high boost, the GTE engine is stronger. If you change the trans from auto to 6 speed you might gain 0.5 seconds. You get more HP to the wheels with the 6 speed. Then, of course if you abuse it you'll start tearing up clutches and trans gears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlurrySC300 Posted June 28, 2004 Author Share Posted June 28, 2004 I'm talking about swapping a manual stock 5speed tranny for a 6speed Supra TT tranny....so would the extra gear really be worth the couple thousand dollar "upgrade"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
