Pixelfill Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 There are some significant differences between the Aristo 2JZ-GTE and the Supra 2JZ-GTE, don't assume that the engine is a straight swap. They are good cars in their own right, if you are after a 4 door with good rear leg room. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In case you missed the sarcasm () Snooze owns/owned an Aristo, and a very nice one at that. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awisto Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Yeah I just meant maybe engine,gearbox and lots of parts couldve fitted a supra....its a cheap car and a lexus not rubbish. It's not a Lexus, it's a Toyota. The gearbox won't fit either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Yeah mine certainly won't cos I broke it. You need to change the sump if you use an aristo 2JZ-GTE lump as that is different. Other than that its the same. Power wise the aristo's exhaust system is a lot more restrictive than a TT supra's so in stock form will probably only make 0.6 bar of boost and the associated power with that boost. Take out the cats and open up the exhaust and you have the same power available at 1.2bar that any supra has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJ Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Le's roll out the old classic then, the Aristo had the 2JZ-GTE before the Supra did too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snooze Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Yep - the value on these cars has plummeted. Admittedly, mine is far from a perfect example, but I reckon I'd be looking at £5k tops if I sold it just now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobrastang Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 It's not a Lexus, it's a Toyota. The gearbox won't fit either! Isnt it the same car as a lexus 300 + the turbo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 The body is the same, well almost! similar differences to na and tt supras Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awisto Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Isnt it the same car as a lexus 300 + the turbo? They share a lot of parts, my point being however, the Aristo is a Toyota. Launched in 1991 with the humble 2JZ-GTE, while the GS300 didn't get launched till 1993. The Aristo also comes in N/A flavour, with the MK1 also having the option of a 1UZ-FE V8 which powered all 4 wheels. Aristo doesn't automatically mean it's got twin tubbies.
