Installation Notes
[!NOTE]
Professional Installation Recommended: This is a high-performance JDM engine swap package. While it fits natively into the SXE10 chassis, dropping this setup into a USDM Lexus IS300, AE86, or other chassis will require custom wiring extensions, custom exhaust manifold clearance, and modified fuel line routing.
Maintenance Wear Items: For the best long-term performance, we strongly advise replacing standard wear-and-tear components before dropping the motor into your car. We recommend installing a brand new water pump, timing belt, thermostat, spark plugs, rear main seal, and a fresh clutch assembly assembly.
