Yep you need to remove the aristo oil pan and replace it with an MKIV Supra oil pan.

is that all? apart from putting an electric fan on my supra i assume since the aristo doesnt come with a clutch fan. Is the engine the same in terms of performance and is the wiring the same as a supra 2jzgte?

My GS300 comes with a clutch fan - why wouldn't an Aristo?

Of course, you'll need a 2jz-gte primary wiring harness, resistor pack, ignitor, and ecu...

Does anyone know if the newer vvti 2jzgte would work in a non vvti 93.5 JDM NA Supra? Thanks.

Sure, but you'd need a tt vvti ecu, harness, etc..

In the process of doing the swap right now. So far got the engine/tranny out, cleaned the engine bay and front subframe big time, sent my steering rack to get rebuilt, got the old harness out of the car. The ONLY modification that i had to do to the wiring harness is replace the 4-wire fusebox connector on the TT engine harness with my 3-wire fusebox connector from the GE engine harness so it plugs into the car. I will be running a MEGAN downpipe which has a place to bolt in the stock 02 sensor so no mod there. Im making a custom 3 in exhaust line. I have a 31in/16in/4in MISHIMOTO fmic that im just about ready to put on along with a 3in piping kit from ebay. Had to order TT radiator hoses so i got some MISHIMOTO silicone rad hoses. Had to order brand new throttle cable from toyota. I also replaced every seal & gasket on the engine except the head gasket with oem seals & gaskets. New NGK iridium spark plugs. Polished the turbo intake piping. Im re-using my w58 along with w58 flywheel and clutch which are all bolt on to the gte. Im gunna save up some money this winter to get the tranny/driveshaft/subframe/axel kit to put on next summer. Got an HKS SSQV and a DEFI boost gauge. Might get a wideband and fuel pressure gauge also. Get a boost controller eventually. 2 new rear tires. Ill keep you guys updated.

im actually in the middle of doing the same thing. i have a 95 na that had a manual tranny in it. i have the shop manual for the car and did a lot of research before i started so i knew what i was gettin into. im just a normal guy probably just like yourself with a pretty good knowledge of cars but not a mechanic. it def can be done but it isnt very cost effective. the price really changes depending on if you want to go with a 6 speed or an auto. if you want to do the 6 speed which is the v160 tranny then you will need an entire new driveline as well. this is what i did. i had to find a differential that would handle the power. i got an lsd out of a 94 tt supra for 1300 then i had to buy the motor and tranny and ecu which was 5000 then i had to get the slave cylinder it was about 150. then there was a lot of little stuff like the intercooler and piping an nuts and bolts that i didnt have and so on. im not finished yet but i know wants i have everything in i will probably need to get the motor tuned as well. trust me its a lot of work. if you can i would just buy a tt. hope this helps

Myself im a mechanic actually, for BMW, but if you know how to turn screws and research stuff in shop manuals, you can do this. As for buying the TT, its a little too late for that cuz im pretty much 3/4 of the way through the swap but i love the fact that not many people did this, also ive seen people buy abs delete kits or put na brake master cyl. on their TT so thats one thing i wont have to do. I dont know where u live but for me here in canada, buying a TT that is completely stock and beaten to shit would be 20,000$, im at 11,500$ right now that i have invested (including the price of the car), my car is not gunna be stock and plus thats including a nitrous kit also, lets say i have about 5000$ left to put on it for the driveline and brake upgrade, im still only at 16,500$ and have a machine that outperforms a stock TT and is in much better shape beacause im redoing the steering rack, ball-joints and all that stuff, also a hell of a lot cleaner. So for me its worth it!!! plus im having fun doing it!!!

Hello everyone.

I am looking at this '93 supra n/a, but it looks like the previous owner has put a twin turbo in it. First of all, I've always loved the body style of the mkiv. So I'm about to buy this one. Can someone help me with what to look for. What should I be worried about.

Heres the specs on it so far.

'93 supra
Miles: 36k
one owner
everything looks to be stock except there is a twin turbo add to the engine.
5 speed manual transmission
clean carfax, and clean title

Please advise, thank you in advance.

if the guy lets you, take the intake piping off the turbos to check for shaft play and to check if theres oil in the intake, check if the gears grind and listen when not pressing the clutch and see if theres a winding noise that stops when you do press the clutch (transmission bearings) cuz w58 transmissions seem to be prone to leaking. Those are pretty much the things that are specific to his setup that your gunna need to check, the rest would be pretty much regular inspection stuff like on any other car.
