dcfish Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Got my car back after they destroyed my old one. 03 with 18,000 miles. I get homwe to check the vin and it says it came from a 03 IS 300!. IS that the same engine or should i be *BLEEP*ed? Same basic motor, Just some design differences to fit in the IS's engine bay. Don't quote me on this but I think the gs 3.0 l6 is rated @220 hp and the is is rated @215 hp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be too concerned about how the engine was treated prior to the install, Most likely cared for at a dealer. Did you get the history of the transplant ?

RomyCHA Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Given how old your engine was, and how many miles it had, I'm guessing you lost a few horses anyway.. no big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they use all of your original exterior engine parts 9 alternator, intake and the like ? Did they just replace the block and head ?
