One of our friends desired more power on his 1G-FE powered Lexus IS200.
Therefore we had the pleasure of doing one of our favourite engine swaps: 4.3L 3UZ-FE V8 Engine Swap.

  • First, a full engine cleanup and wash of the new engine, as well as glass blasting of all components in our new blasting cabinet.
  • Full engine teardown to long block and replacement of all gaskets, water pump, timing belt set, and diverse pulleys, bearings and other wear parts with OEM parts!
  • Removal of the 2L 1G-FE
  • Full OEM style wiring with MPX converter, fully functional electronics!
  • Custom Airco lines – Fully functional airco!
  • CBS Racing Balanced propshaft half for 3UZ swapped IS’s
  • Full Custom 2 > 1 header back exhaust with V-bands and Varex damper with valve.
  • Custom Intake
  • A lot of smaller modifications
  • And last but not least, a set of brand new OEM ball joints and brake pads as normal maintenance.
