Guest gazza Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 can any 1 tell me does the lexus IS200 use the same block as the mkIV supra. i know its a 2.0l but its an inline 6 and most company's try to keep cost down by using the same blocks but in different size's I.E. cc, turbo, non turbo. just like the toyota altezza, its the same car( IS200 ) but in that verson it use's the 2.0l inline 4 from the mr2 and celica's which is the 3sge block. thx gary.

cashpoint Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Is200 is a shorter block so not the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Turism0 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 the Lexus is200 uses a 1G-FE (2ltr straight 6) completely different block to the 2JZ-GE/GTE in the mkiv supra, the IS200 did have the same block as one of the mk3 supra's that had the 1G-GTE however Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprab1 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I'm nearly sure the lexus GS300 uses the same block as the supra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 completely different mate, the is200 gearbox isn't overly strong it's the same crap box as the S15 Silvia apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Turism0 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 it's the same crap box as the S15 Silvia apparently. and also Honda S2000 I believe, shame it's not the V160/161 as it would have saved me a lot of hassle when I get a supra given that I currently have a IS200 lol, best way I can put it is the mkiv supra gearbox (V160/161) is made of granite and the IS200 box is made of toffee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
