knmaynard Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 How much would it cost, roughly. Are we talking $2k, $5k, $10k? Han a shop done this, that any of you know about?
knmaynard Posted November 9, 2005 Author Posted November 9, 2005 Nobody? Lot of hits, kind of like saying "turbo for SC400" in the tag line, I guess. Popular concept but not really available.
lexus411 Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 dont know about the stick but you should be able to add the e-shift option that the previous GS 4's had
new big400 Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 Sell the 430 and get a 400 with push button!There is no manual for a 430 or 400.You could try contacting Toyota to see if they will develop one for you. Forget the manual its not gonna happen,unless you have endless resources and then it still wont happen.

chuckb Posted November 11, 2005 Posted November 11, 2005 dont know about the stick but you should be able to add the e-shift option that the previous GS 4's had ← what makes you say this is possible. I've never seen or heard of that being done.
randyreindeer Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 Greetings from the UK. This conversion was carried out recently on an IS200. They fitted the GS430 motor and 6 speed manual Box from the Supra. Sorry. I don't know who it was but it was shown on TV a few months back. The company that did it are heavily involved in some sort of racing. Not sure if were an Ozzie tuning firm that did it. Try a search for V8 IS200 and you may get some info. It wasn't pimp my ride.

There are at least a couple of private swap/manual setups form private owners too.
