any1 know if an is3000 swap is possible 4 da xB?? Somone find out 4 me plz, thnx, 1.

 

Uhmmmm in a word.. ..no.....but don't I wish

 

you should buy an IS....then get a bunch of fiberglass and built an off the wall box-body kit!

 

I doubt an inline 6 will fit up there, besides the fact that I don't think there are any front drive trannies for the engine.
Anything is possible with enough money.

Maybe the Atezza turbo 4?

 

my IS will be for sale soon

wanna buy and try? :D

 

Hell if your gonna cram the 6 cyl in there why not make it RWD also..what the hell were dreaming right?.. but This is the "Tread and Butter forum" so im gonna imagine he means wheels and tires... sorry the IS is a 5 lug car..

 

the 2j will in no way fit. it is impossible unless you move the dash to the rear seat.

 

mayb the is200 yes 200 from japan might fit they were offered in a 4banger and a 6 maybe one of those might fit never know im hoping that one guy can stfuff the 2sg into his scion

 

This swap would require a rediculous amount of work. Go pop the hood of an IS or a Gen. IV Supra. That 6 cylinder is way to long to mount transversly in FWD car and finding a tranny to do FWD application would be nearly impossible since that engine was never designed for FWD. RWD... well.. tub the car out and prepare to have part of that engine in the cabin. Good Luck! It would definitely be a project and something interesting to see.

 

you could pull the rear seats and mount the motor behind the front seats and make a mid engine RWD scion anything can be done with money, but just cause you can doesn't mean you should

 

Very true, anything can be done with money..

 

ite well what's the fastest engine you could prolly squeeze in an xB?!?!, thnx 4 da IS fax.

 

lmao, gotta love u guys

 

Well, two things have been tried--don't know the results though.

Celica GT/GT-S
and

MR2 Turbo.

 

A 1ZZ-FE in an xA would deffinitely be fun.. a 2ZZ-GE in an xA would be REAL fun.. i don't see why it would be such a hard swap. Id like to see how the weight distribution changes if anything.

 

might as well think about taking a landcruiser platform and some mudgrips on the xB too. oh wait....mbenz gwagen?

those 200s were european, right? methinks they were always altezza in japan.

 

Hah yea I was gonna say, put a Celica GT-S motor in there, 180hp and all kinda revs.

 

you mean the altezza? there is no such thing as an is200.



silly kids.


ha ha . to the original poster..... you don't know much at all about cars do you ?

 

Well, there was an IS200 - in europe. Since it was marketed under Lexus, it wasn't called Altezza.

And I don't think that final question was necessary, haha.

 

even if it fits.. its a rwd engine, good luck on converting the xB.
